Stalingrad medal certificate — family document of T. T. Samsonov.
Place name
In wartime papers and family memory the city is Stalingrad.
Its present official name is Volgograd (renamed in 1961).
This page keeps the historical name for 1942–1943 and the award; the modern name is noted in parentheses.
Volgograd (historically Stalingrad)
Why it appears here
Not a tourist guide — a family link:
- Tatyana Timofeevna’s brother — Timofey Timofeevich Samsonov (Uncle Tyoma / Timosha), Guards sergeant;
- the notebook and a standalone document preserve the certificate for the medal “For the Defence of Stalingrad”;
- not to be confused with father Timofey Petrovich Samsonov — the form uses the patronymic Timofeevich.
