Petruhin, Aleksandr Efremovich, Colonel, SMERSH/Special Detachments MGB/MVD/KGB

This is a mainly-paper group to col. Petrukhin - husband of Antonina Petrukhina
(http://soviet-awards.com/forum/sovie...o-mgb-mvd.html )

I'll start untypically - with research materials:

First we have his service record - far from compleate, but provides a very early photograph showing "Voroshilov marksman" and "Ready for Work and defense" badges. Interestingly, he apparently didn't wear them later on.

"1.Surname, name and patronimic: Petrukhin Aleksandr Efremovich
3.Nationality: Russian
4.Knowledge of languages: familiar with German language
2.Born on 25 August 1917
5.In what settlement born: Isheevka, Uljanovsk Region Kuybyshev Oblast
6.Party membership:[...]Member, candidate of the VLKSM since 1931[...]
7.Social position and descent: Worker of Clerk descent
8.Profession: locksmith
9.Marital status: bachelor
10.Civilian education: Isheevka NSSh [incompleate secondary school?]
11.Military education:
a) In the old army: none
b)In the Red Army: Ulyanovsk Automobile-Armor School named after Lenin ??? ??? Excellent
12.PArty education: none
13.Military ranks held:
Lieutenant 1939 nr 002"

Only positions in his service record are:
Ulyanovsk ORBArmor Troops School named after Lenin/Officer cadet/1936/August/Order of the School/ nr235 22???1936
Same place/Commander of the officer cadets platoon/1938/December/NKO/002 10/I 1939

Re: Petruhin, Aleksandr Efremovich, Colonel, SMERSH/Special Detachments MGB/MVD/KGB

20 years of victory medal doc to him as a colonel,signed by the commander of the 13709 unit, lt.-gen. Efimov

50 years of the Soviet Armed Forces doc - signed by the commander of the unit 73904 mjr.-gen. Mozgov.

30 years of victory medal doc - to him as a civilian already. He retired from service in 1972, and this one was issued in 1976.

Re: Petruhin, Aleksandr Efremovich, Colonel, SMERSH/Special Detachments MGB/MVD/KGB

His service ID from 1967 - a standard Soviet Army officer ID.
He is also wearing an Air Force officer uniform, which indicates that the unit nr13709 was air force unit (It's the 57th Air Army, as will be explained later).
It gives his rank as colonel since 1954 and his position as "deputy chief of a detachment of the military unit 13709

Later page shows his two later positions - deputy chief and chief of detachment of other units.
He had a makarov pistol (PM) nr VA 1354K as a service weapon.
Family members listed are wife - Antonina Petrovna and daughter - Tatiana. Son - Vyacheslav - was probably living on his own already

Re: Petruhin, Aleksandr Efremovich, Colonel, SMERSH/Special Detachments MGB/MVD/KGB

His 1972 KGB reserve officer ID issued by the directorate of the KGB of the Lvov Oblast.
He is again wearing army uniform (he probably never had a KGB one) - this time of the Armor Troops.

Gives his education as higher - KGB Higher School in 1960.
Also mentions his military education in the Armor Troops Officer School named after Lenin in 1938

His rank is again given as colonel since 1954, but this time by the order of the KGB, not NKO.

Re: Petruhin, Aleksandr Efremovich, Colonel, SMERSH/Special Detachments MGB/MVD/KGB

On May 22 1972 declared unfit for peacetime service and fit for wartime service with limitations by the military medical commission of the UKGB of Kaliningrad Oblast.

He was issued a war participant ID.
This doc also lists his son as a family member

Retired as colonel.

In the meantime he received a military Lenin's 100th anniversary medal

His 1972 KGB pensioner ID, with the stamp of SBU for Lviv Oblast meaning that his pension and privileges were recognised by the new Ukrainian government.
Shows pension of 200 Rubles for serving 42 years.

It also has the stamp allowing him to wear military uniform and another one stating that he is a disabled person of the 2nd group and that his condition is related to his military service. I have, however, no idea as to what the medical document glued to it says - the handwriting is very medical indeed.
