enemy garrisons in his native Stalino (Donetsk) region of
eastern Ukraine. During the Soviet general offensive in
January 1942, he provided substantial support to the regular
Red Army units by conducting reconnaissance in the same area

highly
uncommon award commendation! The medal includes original
