Hero Of Labour.
#12
The book has not yet closed on Novichenko.
The citation for his Red Banner gives a clear indication that he was a Squad Commander in the 34th Mechanised Regiment of the 10th Mechanised Division.

The incident occurred on the 1st March 1946 and it took 5 years for him to be awarded his Red Banner. Strangely the Ukaz that awards him this Red Banner is allegedly "against German invaders during the Great Patriotic War". If a German invader threw that grenade he must have had the greatest throw in history and the grenade with the longest fuse.

He also received an OPW1'85.
