The 22nd Army was formed from the HQ of the Urals MD in June 1941 and was headquartered in Velikie Luki by the 22nd.

In the game it is led by Vostrukhov but the closest I can get to him having a role in this Army on 22nd June is as deputy commander, rear services (ie logistics). In fact the earliest commander I can find for the 22nd Army is (Y)Ershakov who took command on 22/6/41. In my opinion Ershakov is the most appropriate leader for this Army.

Please do us devs a favor and use just one thread for soviet unit issues so they are easier to find and track.

Do you have an idea who took over Urals MD command in mid 6/41 ?

LG Aleksandr Vasilevich Katkov, according to Pettibone, replaced in 1945 by CG Fyodor Isidorovich Kuznetsov.
