He has shown himself a brave and able commander and a true avenger of the people. While serving as the group\u2019s political officer, comrade I.A. Obozny not only ensured the combat operations were conducted successfully, but also invariably took part in them himself and led operations.<\/p>\n For instance, on April 26, 1942 a group of partisans commanded by comrade Obozny carried out a reconnaissance-in-force mission between the village of Malyaka and the forestry district, where they obtained valuable information about the enemy\u2019s numerical strength and disposition. This enabled our artillery to conduct an artillery strike, which inflicted heavy casualties upon the enemy.<\/p>\n On April 29 a group of partisans commanded by comrade Obozny carried out a raid on the enemy dugouts at the northern outskirts of the village of Mayaki, where several Nazis were killed and 2 dugouts were blown up.<\/p>\n On May 7 a group of partisans commanded by comrade Obozny, along with comrade Rusinov\u2019s group, carried out a successful raid on an enemy garrison on height 165.5 (village of Mayaki), where they suppressed 3 firing positions and killed many enemy soldiers and officers during a three-hour battle.<\/p>\n During this engagement comrade I.A. Obozny exhibited personal bravery, thus inspiring his troops.<\/p>\n Through his actions he helped the Red Army.<\/p>\n Chief of the Ukrainian Staff of the Partisan Detachment<\/p>\n Major General [signed] \/Andreyev\/”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Below you can find the full translation of the research to the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky:<\/strong><\/p>\n Translation_Obozny<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n More information on the\u00a0Slavyansk partisan detachment:\u00a0here\u00a0<\/span><\/a>and here<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n More information on partisan captain Obozny:\u00a0here<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sovietorders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/da31fe99c6a5e7177124837a401f4114.jpg\" "\\"Slavyansk")
