On the right is a civilian tourist backpack? Or a trophy?

No, it's Red Army backpack. Maybe M-1939 or M-1941

On September 13, 1944, Nikolai Andreevich Sapunov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for his courage, courage and heroism in the struggle against the German fascist invaders.

On February 6, 1944, during the Korsun-Shevchenko operation, in a battle near the village of Valyava (Gorodishchensky district, Cherkasy region), the Germans attacked Soviet positions with an infantry battalion, five tanks and three self-propelled guns. A platoon of 45 mm guns Nikolai Sapunov fired at the enemy. After the death of the crew of one gun, Sapunov personally began to shoot from the cannon, the enemy was at a distance of 30-40 meters. Nikolai Sapunov personally knocked out 2 self-propelled guns, smashed three heavy machine guns, and destroyed up to a company of Germans. During the day, the enemy tried to attack seven times, but Sapunov did not abandon his cannon. Later, Soviet troops went on the offensive and captured the village of Valyava.

Remains of a Soviet officer discovered by archaeologists this year. The Russian commander Suvorov said: "The war will end only when the last fallen soldier is buried." The search movement aimed at finding and burying the dead Soviet soldiers appeared in the USSR back in the 1940s. It turns out to be a great success if you can find the descendants of the deceased. But most of the remains to date, unfortunately, cannot be identified.
