Abstract:
The article studies the activity of the “Committee for Finding of the Workplaces for the Military Ranks Injured in the War with Japan” in the South of Russia in 1905–1911. The research is based on the documents from Russian State Historical Achieve, mostly introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. There have been studied the organization of the regional committees’ activity, the specificity of particular regions in the South of Russia, as well as the issues of the committees’ work efficiency. Both the Committee and its provincial branches functioned in 1905–1911. In the south of Russia the majority of applications to the Committee were submitted in the provinces with the Orthodox population, but in the non-Russian regions of the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia the number of applications was small. The variety of positions offered by the authorities to the invalids of the Russo-Japanese War depended on the province and the responsibility of the local committees’ members, but as a rule the applicants could become sellers in state-owned wine stores. The activities of the provincial committees proved to be more effective than of the main committee, but in the provinces no more than half of the invalids of the war received work.

Abstract:
The beginning of 1943 was marked by considerable progress of the Red Army. Counterattack of the Soviet troops near Stalingrad has given the chance to strike new blow to the opponent on the southern and southwest directions of the Soviet-German front. The southern front created for the second time on the basis of the Stalingrad front and which is filled up with two armies of North Caucasus Front in January, 1943 came to the Rostov direction. After heavy fights in the mouth of the Seversky Donets and Manycha in January-February, 1943, troops of the Southern front have begun prosecutions of the receding German troops on the Rostov and Shakhty directions on purpose not to allow them to be fixed at a boundary of the Mius River. During the Rostov offensive operation (on January 1 – on February 17, 1943) armies of the Southern front have suffered heavy losses in staff and military equipment, have come off on hundreds of kilometers bases of supply. Troops of the Southern front were in great need in replenishment by staff, ammunition, tanks, in cover of land troops by aircraft, but the Rate of General headquarters demanded approach continuation. By the end of February, 1943 the personal and fighting structure of troops of the Southern front, despite mid-flight replenishments, was considerably reduced, operation on liberation of the Rostov region hasn't been complete.

6. Voennyi Sbornik, 2017, 5(2): 95-101.
Abstract:
In the course of conducting offensive and defensive operations, the warring parties are fighting losses. The ratio of losses of the attacking side, as a rule, is significantly more than the loss side of the defenders. This rule in the first period of the Great Patriotic War did not work. The Wehrmacht and its allies during the offensives in 1941-1942 suffered losses much smaller than the defending soviet troops. In January-February, 1943, in the course of Millero-Voroshilovgrad offensive operations of troops of the southwestern front, the loss ratio has changed. This testified to the growing fighting experience of command of formations and associations and the result of the use of tank and mechanized corps of the red army massively, as in breaking the enemy's defense, and the action behind the enemy lines.
