Short, concrete description of personal combat feat or merits:

Comrade Verzhbilovskaya has been working for military prosecutor's offices since December 1922. In February 1923 she became a member of the higher cadre of the Red Army, a position she held until October 1926. As the Military Prosecutor's Office of the Volga Military District was downsized in October 1926, she became a freelancer, while she stayed with the same prosecutor's office. In April 1931 she once again became a member of the higher cadre of the Red Army, and since then she has uninterruptedly been part of the higher cadre. In all, she has been serving in the Red Army for 17 years and 3 months.

Since October 1942 comrade Verzhbilovskaya has been working as the Secretary of the Military Prosecutor's Office of the 60th Army. She has been serving with military prosecutor's offices of frontline armies since 1941.

Working as the Secretary of the Military Prosecutor's Office of the 21st Army, comrade Verzhbilovskaya, together with the apparatus of the prosecutor's office, was surrounded by the enemy, during which she behaved herself honorably and bravely - she destroyed the secret files, took the seals and stamps of the prosecutor's office with her, and after 21 she days got out of the encirclement with her weapon and in military uniform.

Comrade Verzhbilovskaya works exceptionally honorably and capably, takes initiatives, and fully supports all technical aspects of the prosecutor's office. Fully devoted to her work, comrade Verzhbilovskaya does not pay attention to the time of day, now and then forgetting basic personal interests. For her highly conscientious work she has been awarded the Medal for Combat Merit.

She is dedicated to the cause of the Party of Lenin and Stalin. Her current position suits her fully.

For seventeen years and three months of service as a member of the higher cadre of the Red Army - as the situation is in November - comrade Verzhbilovskaya fully deserves the Order of the Red Star.
