Brief, concrete description of his feat of arms:

“He is one of the crew members who were saved from a ship sunk by an enemy submarine.

Throughout the Patriotic War he was involved in the fight against enemy proximity mines. Serving as helmsman, he ensured the ship maneuvered perfectly while sweeping mines in adverse weather conditions.

He deserves the Medal of Ushakov. ”
