RE: Soviet paradrops 1941
The book:

World War II Airborne Warfare Tactics
By Gordon L. Rottman

page 62 has three paragraphs about the operation. It occurred on the night of 2/3 January 1942 two coordinated air drops were executed on drop zones about 7.5 miles apart. Only 31 aircraft were available to support the operation.

Units

1st Bn 201st Abn Bde dropped in the vicinity of Gusevo.

Western Airborne detachment and elements of the 250th Independent Rifle Regt (abn) dropped in the vicinity of Bolshoye and Fatyanovo.
