Multiple times he manifested courage, personal bravery and shrewdness of mind while being in combat. With sharp fire he killed 13 White Finns. He destroyed one pillbox with machine guns and one observation point of the enemy. He blew up the warehouse with enemy’s mines. In July 1943, together with Red Army Man BUDANIN, he took a prisoner.
While participating in the reconnaissance discovery mission on 25.05.1944, Gefreiter VORFOLOMEEV acted bravely and decisively; he was one of the first to rush into the enemy’s tranches. Outside the tranches he killed four White Finns. After being wounded he did not leave the battlefield. He reached the second line of tranches, where he was wounded once more. During the retreat, Gefreiter VORFOLOMEEV was wounded for the third time. Together with Red Army Man BUDANIN he captured trophies: a submachine gun “Suomi” and etc.
CONCLUSION: Deserves the awarding of the governmental award, order of “Glory 3rd class”.

Gefreiter is the german word for Corporal. In russian is Efreitor.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

The Who, Won't get fooled again
