Posthumous Honors
Sasha was awarded the Order of the Red Banner posthumously in 1944.
In Volgograd, the former Bryanskaya Street where he lived now bears his name, as does the public school (No. 14) on that street. There is also a park named after him, where his grave and a memorial are situated.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
