Documented Group of Two: Order of Suvorov 3rd cl. #3143 and
Order of Kutuzov 3rd cl. #7717 (rare version with serial
number and mint mark at 6 o'clock), with the order booklet.
Awarded to a rifle battalion commander. He was the first to
cross the Bug River (marking the Soviet western frontier) in
August 1944, and led an assault that carried three fortified

the former feat, he was recommended for the Title of Hero of
the Soviet Union, but received "just" the Kutuzov 3rd cl. Both
awards are in excellent condition. The group includes
