A beautiful part of the world but horrendous for combat.

The Sancharsky Pereval

A 2589 м high pass! - and a bit of a "Soviet Thermopylae"! Fierce battles around there in the fall of 1942. The pass was initially taken by German mountain troops, whose training and mountain capability was a bitter surprise for Soviet forces. After the Nazis took control of the pass and established firing position on higher ground it took much blood, courage and military inventiveness to retake the pass, but the Soviets managed to do so in October 1942. A "Sancharskaya force" was even established to dislodge the Nazis from the pass and defend it.

As usual, great award and superb, historically meaningful citation!

Nel settembre del 1942 ha preso parte ai combattimenti per il valico di Sancharo. Le condizioni di marcia erano estremamente gravi e tutte le attrezzature mediche sono state consegnata all'unità operativa. I feriti hanno ricevuto esperta assistenza chirurgica in modo tempestivo e con il suo aiuto i feriti sono stati evacuati rapidamente.
Durante i combattimenti nel gennaio 1943 per i villaggi di Grigoryevskaya e Novo-Dimitrovskaya ha dislocato il suo plotone chirurgico in Stavropolskaya.
Sotto la sua guida e da lui personalmente è stata fornita esperta assistenza chirurgica ai 600 soldati feriti, tra cui 350 soldati gravemente feriti, e in un breve periodo di tempo.
Per la sua eccellente guida e i suoi doveri essere nominato per l'ordine della Stella Rossa.
