If you can't read Russian (like me) here's the reddit post where I found it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/history/comments/4yt5pr/heres_a_photo_and_translation_of_a_soviet/

"An hour ago Emelyanov Volodya from Bashkirya has died, and I Digen Vasily Nikolaevich am left alone. Fascists are conducting a harsh bombardment, I am injured and won't live long. At night remaining survivors from the company ran off [surrendered] to fashist scum, but retribution will still find them. I am staying here, will die, but not surrender to the enemy. Tell my wife Anna Fedorovna in Chkalov region that I defended the Motherland as best as I could. We will win anyway!!! 30 August 1942. Digen V. N. Avenge me, guys"

It was found with remains of three soldiers between villages Orlovka and Erzovka.
