Abstract
The article examines the fates of 109 Red Army soldiers and officers from the Kemerovo Region who fought in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. Despite being nominated for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union or the Gold Star medal for their courage against Nazi invaders in Europe and Japanese militarists in the Far East, these individuals never received the awards. Dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory over fascism, the study employs problem-chronological, analytical, and synthesis methods to uncover the reasons for withholding these honors.
