Contents of the text translation on the postcard:

"Moto torpedo boats' attack.

On the night of August 8 to 9, 1945, a detachment of torpedo boats of the G-5 type (commander of the detachment, Captain 3rd Rank K.V. Kazachinsky) conducted an impudent operation on the port of Rasin (Najin). The purpose of the operation was to disrupt the evacuation of Japanese troops by the sea. An hour before dawn, Soviet bombers bombed the port.
Using the darkness and thunder of explosions, the boats openly passed by two islands with counter-boats batteries of the enemy that covered the narrow passage to the sea bay, and attacked the Japanese sea vessels that were stationed there on the roadstead.
This attack was a complete surprise for the enemy. Only when the boats departed back did the enemy discover them, tried to light them with searchlights and open an artillery fire over them.
The Japanese lost at the same time 4 sea transport with a displacement of 7 to 8 thousand tons and some of their vessels were damaged. Captain 3rd Rank K.V. Kazachinsky September 14, 1945 was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union - the highest Soviet award.

Printed in Moscow in 1979."
