Irpen, you still failed to respond to my questions... Moscow is quite far away from Wołodarka, no matter what. The same goes for Smolensk. Your analogy with Moscow might be good to some point: the German aim was to conquer Moscow yet they failed. The Russian aim was to keep Moscow and they succeeded. They achieved their tactical goals thus achieving victory. Saying that it was not a Russian victory but rather a German failure would be a serious overstatement. That is how it looks on a smaller, tactical scale.  

 ::On a larger scale, however, the two battles are incomparable and that's precisely why I asked you (ten times or so) to state what should the Poles do at Wołodarka in order to achieve a victory (if that was not a victory, as you say). As to the sources - it is somehow easy to claim that a source is incredible just because I , not the author, committed a mistake in translation. However, the whole Kuzma Kruchkov was my mistake, not mistake of the author, as I already explained above. Same with Wyszczelski. If you want me to, I could scan the pages relating to the Russian offensive in the Ukraine for you to check yourself the whole context. I assure you, I wanted to provide as exact translation as possible and it is obvious for me that if the author first describes that one side achieved nothing but heavy losses while the other side achieved all of its goals and inflicted heavy losses on the numerically supperior enemy, than it is clearly a victory of one of the sides. Indeed, it is not clearly said, but to me it's clear from the context.  

 As to your proposal below and your claim that it's the only version supported by sources - well, could you name them please? Still waiting for you to reply to my question and to provide sources.
