There are more exactly info: Gutnov served in 6th Rifle Company, 453th Rymniksky Regiment, 78th Zaporozhskaya Rifle Division.

As I guess, he received award for taking one of Hungarian villages (Akatsara) during offensive of 453th Rymniksky Regiment in Hungary in October 1944.

There are 34 Heroes of Soviet Union (by other sources - 76 (may be from both Southern and Northern Osetia)) and 9 people received all three classes of the Order of Glory.

In official military statistics Osetians stands on the first place on number of the Heroes of Soviet Union in the ratio with number of people.

By the way, here is link for Heroes:

One of them, Kalayev Semen Dzageevitch had all three classes of the Order of Glory.
