This is Sergei Nikiforovich Nekrasov, born in 1919. Further, with the support of the Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for perpetuating the memory of those killed in defense of the Fatherland, it was established that Nekrasov was a native of the village of Belovodye, Karsun district, Ulyanovsk region.
