At this time the Soviet troops did not have a sufficient resistance to the enemy, which was noted in the text of the famous Stalin's order number 227 - "Not one step back!". The city was finally occupied by the Red Army February 14, 1943 as a result of a planned retreat of the Wehrmacht on the line of defense Mius-front.
