DECISION OF THE DEFENCE COUNCIL
JULY 23, 1919

In the stubborn struggle for the workers’ and peasants’ power, the valiant units of the IV Army, surrounded on all sides by a vicious enemy, withstood a two-month siege in the city of Uralsk. Enduring hardships and constantly exposing their lives to danger, the defenders of Uralsk set an example of true devotion to the cause of the revolution.

For the revolutionary combat valour displayed, the Defence Council expresses special gratitude to the army units of the IV Army, the Red Army men and the commanding personnel.

At the same time, bearing in mind that the defenders of Uralsk, surrounded on all sides by the enemy, were unable for two months to receive the established allowances and food supplies, as well as pay, and endured severe hardships, the Defence Council resolves:

To pay the Red Army men and the commanding personnel of the units of the IV Army that withstood the two-month siege in the city of Uralsk three months’ salary for each month of the siege.
