I agree with Jim, newcomers like me aren't familiar with those abbreviation (even for HSU!).. For example: At first I read HSU, I thought it is a name of gun or military vehicle as same as Tu (Tupolev), MiG (Mikoyan Gurevich), or AK (Avtomat Kalashnikov)..! Windu -

This is Katyusha song.. Pears and apples blossomed on their branches. Mist (was) creeping on the river. Katyusha set out on the banks, On the steep and lofty bank. She was walking, singing a song About a grey steppe eagle, About her true love, Whose letters she was keeping. Oh you song! Little song of a maiden, Head for the bright sun. And reach for the soldier on the far-away border Along with greetings from Katyusha. Let him remember an ordinary girl, And hear how she sings, Let him preserve the native land, Same as Katyusha preserves their love. -

I'll try, is it Katyusha? the Katyusha monument is located at 17 km of roads of life, outside the village Kornevo. On the spot where the monument was erected in the years of the siege of Leningrad was the battery, covered the airfield in the town of Corner Road of Life and of air raids. Architects Chulkevich L., Melnikov, A. Levenkov. Established in 1966. It's a generic name, a song title, a name of a rocket too.. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/katyusha.htm http://visualrian.ru/ru/site/gallery/#501963 windu -

JimZ,, I see in a web that he's a close friend of Rokossovsky, in some other web i found Rukossovsky quote about Batov, and i found their photo too (but i forgot the websites, one of the website is RIA Novosti if i'm not fail to remember) And about the number of Lenin that he got: i'm sorry, i'm not search it well so i got false information.. I have search on some web before posting that question, just to make that it reachable and check his background (i think we can see that he has a good career isn't it??)
