RUSSIA

' Late October and November chalked up more victories for our Russian Allies. The Melitopol light. which had raged for eleven days. was ended on October 23 when the Russians drove the last German out. Meantime Russian iforces drove ahead six miles their way to Krlvoi Rog in one battle area; battered their way to - echista. 28 miles west of Gomel n another; ancl launched a drive south of Kiev in an effort to fur- ther flank that city.

On October 25 the Red Army

captured Dniepropetrovsk and Dnieprodzerzhinsk. T h e R e d Armies smashed the enemy's

defences and in- creased the menace confronting one million German troops in Southern Russia. Southeast of Krivoi Rog, another German force pushed on beyond Melitopol to- ward the Crimea. By Nov. l. the Russians had cut the German's ro- treat road from the Crimea with the capture of the town of Pere- kop at. the northwestern entrance to the peninsula. The battle for Kiev, started in October. was re- opened. ian forces cut the main Zhitomir highway and plung- ed 16 mile; south. Kiev was now hemmed in on three sides. By an encircling action. landed in the western suburbs. In one of the outstanding triumphs of the war, Soviet troops captured

The Russian capture of Kiev on November (l came on the eve of the twenty-sixth anniversary of the revolution. Swinging 35 miles southwest from reconquered Kiev. the Red Anny captured Flos- tov, vital rail Junction. Just a week after the fall of Kiev, the Russian Army captured the vital rail Junction of Zhitomir on No- vember 13, virtually splitting the north and south German forcu and reaching a point sixty-seven miles from the old Polish border. Russian troops in the north push- ed into the Pripet Marshes. while southern units closed in on Kerch in the Crimea.
