Russians in captured Sudzha, for how long?

In 1918, the western portion of the current Kursk Oblast with the towns of Rylsk and Sudzha were part of the Ukrainian State. The Soviet Russian army fought against Nazi Germany in the war 81 years ago at the confluence of the Kur, Thakur and Seym rivers and captured Kursk, losing 700,00 of its soldiers in the famous Battle of Kursk. Kursk has deep memories in the Russian psyche.
