Liberation of Prague Medal Document Help

[TomP73]

Hi all

 

Would anybody be able to assist me in translating/decoding any of the information on the attached medal document? I am interested to find out who this medal was awarded to, including rank and/or unit if possible.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

All the best

Tom

Asking for rank/unit as well if possible.

Емец Максим Парфенович / Maksim Parfenovich Emets and he's a senior technical Lieutenant from the 331st ??? Aviation Division. Can't figure it out exactly. Some parts are hard to read for me.

Thanks @Egorka. I did find this recipient when searching the pamyat-naroda.ru website (that @Marcel B. made me aware of, thanks for this!).

 

It lists:

 Air force
4th Air Force Main Battery Rap
98th Guards Artillery Regiment of the 48th Guards Rifle Division
10th Artillery Regiment
10th Regiment of the Leningrad Military District
, 4 Apr GC
, 98th Guards. OAP Long. Razv. RGK
Main Command Reserve
98 gv. OAP Daln. Rev. RGK 2 VA
Leningrad Military District
10 SBAP LVO

I wasn't sure if it was the same recipient as none of the Military Units mentioned under his entry included the 331st Fighter Aviation Division, can we be sure it is the same man?

 

I note the man in the photo is down as receiving the Liberation of Prague medal. 

 

Cheers

331 fighter aviation regiment was his unit in 1946, i.e. post-war. There was a lot of reshuffling and downsizing in the soviet Army after 1945. People were moved around a lot. It should be the same guy.
