Another HSU - according to caption - Stepan Matveevich Pirozhenko
And that's the problem:
Герой Советского Союза Пироженко Степан Матвеевич :: Герои страны - the name, awaarding date and even the given medal nr. all fit, but according to the article, he worked as a motorist on shipsand last known rank as sgt. And on this photograph he is wearing an m58 uniform of a lt.col. of artillery. Also the article doesn't list all his orders, as apparently he got also a Nevsky, ORB and 2 GPWs
On the other hand - he looks similar to the photo in the article.
