	Alexander Matrosov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Photo of Alexander Matrosov Although the deed of Alexander Matrosov quickly became legendary in the Soviet Union, the boy's actual background remains disputed.
		Sometimes Matrosov's deed itself is contested, as well as the deeds of the 300 other Soviet soldiers who are said to have thrown themselves on German machine-guns during the War.
		Yet whatever Soviet propaganda contributed to the myth-building, in the countries of the former Soviet Union the deed of Alexander Matrosov continues to be a well-known and powerful symbol of self-sacrifice and despair that characterised the Great Patriotic War.

		Alexander Matrosov, the judge in the Limonov case, laid into the FSB investigators and prosecutors for devoting their professional energies to producing inconsistent and fabricated evidence.
		It is some indication of their incompetence that the judge deemed it necessary to appeal to FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev and Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov to take disciplinary action against the remiss officers.
		Adducing examples of the investigators' lack of professionalism, Matrosov noted that despite having years and almost unlimited resources for such a sensitive probe, there were official stamps missing from expert evaluations and the investigators' documents making their case against Limonov contained incorrect page references.
