Hello, I have a few documents, including this "Capture of Berlin" to an individual. I'm trying to translate his name and possibly his unit. Thanks in advance for any help.

The second certificate is for the capture of the city of Radom.

I just received Gratitude documents to a Guardsman. I cannot make out his name. I believe the first is for Berlin, the second mentions Lodz, I'm not sure about the third one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Bilchenko Ivan Pavlovich, I think.
The first one is indeed for Berlin, the other two are too small for me to make out the city names. Could You post a better scan?
