蘇聯作家鮑里斯·利沃維奇·瓦西里耶夫寫了一本小說名叫《未列入名冊》(В списках не значился),內容是關於一名名叫尼可萊·普魯茲尼科夫的紅軍士兵於1941年保衛布列斯特要塞的經歷。小說的最後,普魯茲尼科夫在被德軍俘虜並審訊時,僅僅回答了一句「我是俄國士兵」,接著便因數個月戰鬥的精疲力竭而死亡。(當地傳說中,確有一名士兵在1942年4月被俘,但由於證人是一名猶太人並於1942年底死於納粹屠殺,因而無從考證)瓦西里耶夫的小說在1995年被改編成電影《我,一名俄國士兵》(Я — русский солдат),由安德烈·馬里尤科夫執導。
^Pleshakov notes (p. 242): "With the exception of Gavrilov [commander of the 44th Infantry Regiment], all the commanders of the troops were self-appointed. On the morning of 22 June, rank ceased to matter, and whoever was able to issue a sane order and persuade others to carry it out was acknowledged as a leader."
