      Chuck thanks for your reply

      This is the gist of it..

      DOB 1923 he was a Russian Christian orthodox and had finished 2 years of a 4 year teachers course in 1940.

      He gave up his course and joined the army in 1941 and learned in an aviation school until 1942.

      His war started in 1943.

      He was a flight commander until 1945 by which time he had flown 123 sorties.

      For all the damage he had done to the German war effort he was awarded a Hero Soviet Union on 18.8.45.

      After WW2 he continued to work in aviation and received a further Order of Lenin, 2 Patriotic Wars 1st class and a Patriotic War 2nd class. He also received his 3rd! Order of the Red banner.

      He died in service on the 9.12.47

      ...I am sure this man had a very interesting career and at such an early age...wow...a real research project I bet!

      Alfred...according to a HSU site he is it gives this information and his DOB but no date for deceased which the others I looked at had, so I assume it is up to date and he is 82 it looks then like he sold his medal for much needed dollars:

      Tchernyaev Peter Andreevich - помошник the commander of a platoon of 229-th shooting a shelf (8-th shooting division, 13-th army, the Central front) the senior sergeant.

      Was born on February, 16th, 1924 in village Hitrovo of area Maloarhangelskogo of the Oryol area in family of the peasant. Russian. Has ended 7 classes in 1938. Worked in collective farm.

      In Red Army since January, 1943. Has especially distinguished in fight for village Kashevka (Chernobyl area of the Kiev area) on approaches to the river Pripyat. On September, 25th, 1943 the senior sergeant Tchernyaev has replaced the commander who has left out of operation of a platoon. On September, 30th 1943 together with a platoon it was forwarded through the river Dnepr to the west of Chernigov, participated in fights on jumping-off place.

      The rank of the Hero of Soviet Union with delivery of an award of Lenin and a medal " the Gold Star " № To 8282 Peter Andreevichu Tchernyaev is appropriated on October, 16th, 1943.

      After demobilization the senior sergeant of a stock Tchernyaev lived and worked in the city of Kizel of the Perm area. In настооящий the moment lives in Perm.

      Награжден Lenin's award, Domestic war of 1 degree, medals.

      This height dominated over district. From it the opponent well saw our first line and approaches to it. Our gunners not time brought down on it powerful fire. Some times "илы" stormed height, but hitlerites again restored defensive works.

      In a staff of 229-th shooting a shelf have made a decision to seize height. But to make it small forces, impact of a platoon of submachine gunners from rear. The choice has fallen on a platoon about which Peter Tchernyaev ordered.

      At late night fighters of a platoon have left our first line. Before a dawn have come to be on a boggy place behind a front line. There also have waited. Have bypassed village Kashevka in the late evening, have hidden in a bush about which passed a course of the message on height. Near it loomed hour.

      By the night постовых became two. Them have removed without noise. Having left here just in case five soldier, Peter Tchernyaev on a course of the message has led the others on height. Further the course forked and conducted in two trenches. Here it was necessary to remove one more hour.

      At height it has appeared five dugouts and two observant items. Them have thrown pomegranates. Have then destroyed the escaped hitlerites. The platoon has grasped eight machine guns, two mortars and some ten automatic devices. Machine guns and automatic devices have quickly adapted all for defense.

      In the same night Germans have started to counterattack, but, met by machine-gun fire, were rolled away back. Before a dawn they have fired at height from mortars and instruments.

      During bombardment Peter Tchernyaev has allocated the стрелков for height and has informed in a staff on the location of German batteries. They were there and then suppressed by the Soviet gunners. Hitlerites tried to return height at support of tanks. But also this invention was broke. Our gunners have put protecting fire.

      Shelfs has begun approach. Peter Tchernyaev corrected fire of artillery. It informed, where at fascists forces for counterattacks collect, reserves where tanks are grouped whence come. In midday Кашевка it has been released.
