Soviet Some help about this lieutenant?

[hipnos]

This is the pic. The quality is very low , but I would to know the unit (Fusilier'??), grade (Starschina leutnenant??), and some hint about the feat... I understand they ask the Military merit and that he has already a red star order, victory over germany and defense of leningrad, medals, (an a veteran one I think.. )

Sorry Rick, for the hard work to your eye...

Regards and thanks

Maybe if I had a lunar telescope.... :cheeky:

Name looks like Volokitin Grigorij Nikiforovich, Chief of the ... of a battalion of the Budapest (?) Order of Aleksander Nevskj Regiment of the MVD troops.. And yes, a Senior Lieutenant

It is pretty small

The doc looks authentic but there is no way to prove it belongs to the awards (unless of course, researching).. anyway thats a pretty sad example of how to create a "I researched my order but found nothing" :angry:

:Cat-Scratch: This is the very first time I have seen DOCUMENTATION of a routine long service award being WITHHELD for bad behaviour and poor performance. As you already notte-- his 10 years MMM was rejected and held back for a year as punishment.

I have also never seen service records for the "police" services before.

These are all very clear and will be easy to work through, but I've just had an unexpected situation come up that means I can't get to this today.

:cheers:

He is dedicated to the Party of Lenin-Stalin and the Socialist Motherland. He is morally stalwart, however while on the garrison during duty he has been intoxicated. He is ideologically sound. He is politically developed. He is insufficiently self-disciplined. He is not very demanding of himself or his subordinates. He is not seriously engaged with his assigned duties. The garrison is sufficiently trained. Military discipline and order in the garrison is not at its required levels. His garrison accomplished the 1, 2, and 3 range firing tables with excellent results. He is concerned about his subordinates. He does not command sufficient authority within the unit. In 1948 he was expelled from the Party. His performance corresponds to his assigned duty as Chief of Garrison, 2 Battalion. Until the specified deficiencies have been corrected, his awarding for long service should be denied.

Signed 20 July 1950, Colonel Ignatev

:jumping: I knew somebody else would do it if I just hung back. there is only 1 "me" after all!

Drunk... inefficient... disrespected by his men... but could have been ... worse?

Makes me wonder what his Captain's review said for not slapping some sense into this sub-par Lieutenant under HIS command! :rolleyes:
