Kulabuhov, Valentin Fedorovich, Hero Of The Soviet Union, 112th Tank Battalion

Major-General Valentin Fedorovich Kulabuhov was born on 18th December 1913 in Hanzhenkovo, Bahmut Uezd and served with distinction in the Spanish Civil War, Winter War and Great Patriotic War. His actions during the Winter War, for which he was awarded the Title "Hero Of The Soviet Union", included the breaking of the Mannerheim Line - at its strongest point. All in all, he was in 15 tank battles during the Winter War.
Kulabuhov died in Kiev on 9th June 1975, before the Decree allowing recipients' families to retain their awards, so Kulabuhov's awards were to be returned in full - yet some pieces escaped that fate.
