Robert Derbentsev

Robert Derbentsev was born on August 13, 1927, in Nizhny Chir, in the Volgograd region, and graduated from the Kyiv Art Institute in 1962. He moved to Moldova in 1963 and taught at the Repin art school and the Polytechnic, and later moved to Kaliningrad. He is also credited with a 1978 memorial in Tiraspol to the university's students and teachers who fell in the war.

The archive's credit for the Cahul Komsomol monument (1968), given there as "R. Derbentsov", is matched to him by initial, surname, profession and place. No source names him for it directly.
