On 6.8.44 during the Regiment’s forced crossing of the Vislok, Comrade Shpachenko, despite the absence of appropriate crossing means, organized the crossing of the Regiment’s subordinate units. For three days without rest under continuous enemy fire Comrade Shpachenko worked on the crossing without displaying fatigue, supplying the regiment with ammunition, supplies, and evacuating wounded soldiers and officers to the near shore. For capable demining and for a well-organized river crossing Comrade Shpachenko is deserving of the Order of the Patriotic War II Class.

Without seeing the actual document I can only guess, but the river Vislok seems to be Wisłok - a river that flows to San which flows to Vistula, situated in the southern Poland.
