Belyh, Vasilij Terent'evich, Commissar, 92nd Tank Brigade
Interesting, if for no other reason than that, sometimes, the tales seem to cross.
Yes, he has his medals mounted out of order. Vasily Terent’evich Belykh was born 13 November 1916 in the village of Drabovo (or in some records, Duninovich), Drabovsky District, Poltava Province. Ukrainian of peasant class origin. Attended school in Drabovo to 10th Class in 1937—able to read and write English with a dictionary. Komsomol 1932-39. Joined CPSU April 1939 Party member number 2,761,264. He had "family problems". This is the SHORT (!!!) version of the "suspicious family" question, gone into at great length in the Autobiography paperwork. Belykh’s widowed mother remarried in 1920, so to his one married sister of full-blood, the other brothers and sisters are actually half-siblings. (Did that make them... half suspicious?) Mother Marfa Radchenko was under German occupation for only 6 months. But sisters Maria Terent'evna Matyokh, Yevdokiya Filippovna Radchenko, and brothers Ivan Filippovich Radchenko and Aleksandr Filippovich Radchenko in the village of Duninovich in the Drobovsky (spelled "Drabovsky" earlier in the same file-- discrepancy alert!!!) Raion of Poltava Oblast were under the Nazi heel from September 1941 to September 1943. Unfortunate Yevdokia was carted off as slave labor to Germany 1943-45 as well. All are excruciatingly "accounted for" in other parts of the files. Served in the Red Army as a career Political Commissar 1 October 1937 to 14 March 1961: -- Junior Political Worker (Mladshy Politruk = Second Lieutenant) 9 December 1938 -- Political Worker (Politruk = First Lieutenant) 10 June 1941 -- Senior Political Worker (Starshy Politruk = Captain) 10 March 1942 -- Kapitan (Captain, change in rank titles) per 6 November 1942 -- Maior (Major) 22 April 1943 -- Podpolkovnik (Lieutenant Colonel) 12 October 1946 -- Polkovnik (Colonel) 8 July 1958 Awards: -- Order of the Red Banner # 223,795 on 30 May 1945 (Deputy Regimental Commander for Political Matters, 1205th Self-propelled Artillery Regiment)-- recommended for Order of Lenin.
