According to research, apparently comrade Kurkov was sentenced to 10 years in Gulag in 1944 (!!!), but the sentence was "exchanged" for sending him straight to the front line! As a result, he was heroically fighting the last year of war in the "shtrafbat" (so-called penal battalion), where he not only rehabilitated himself, but also received the highest award of the USSR. Amazing and historically important case. Awarded to Sen. Lieutenant Kurkov N.A., rifle company commander, for bravery and successful command during Warsaw offensive. Full biography (including a nice photo, wearing these decorations) Very rare and desirable complete Hero of the Soviet Union group to a real close combat officer, fighting in a penal battalion!
