Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment
On 5 January 1945 near the village of Dorog, northwest of Budapest the enemy had infiltrated small groups into our fighting formation and went on the offensive from Hill 335 at dawn. The enemy attacked our flank and threatened a breakout into our rear area. Covering the penetration to prevent the enemy from entering our rear and cutting the highway, our infantry organized a group of signalmen, runners, and radiomen in which Abdurasilov became a member. Firing upon the fanatical beasts with his submachinegun fire, Comrade Abdurasilov steadfastly held his position and personally killed seven Germans. An hour later the reserve company arrived and changed out with the group. At that time Comrade Abdurasilov returned to his position where he continued to observe the enemy. He personally discovered an enemy observation position, three enemy machinegun positions, and enemy infantry formation. All these discovered targets were then destroyed with the battery’s fire. He is deserving of the Order of Glory III Class.
Signed Chief of Intelligence, 1 Battalion, Senior Lieutenant Zakharov
Endorsed Commander, 1 Battalion, Captain Bakanov
Endorsed Commander, 320 Howitzer Artillery Regiment, Major Eskov
Order was inevitably upgraded to Order of the Red Star.

According to Drama Between Budapest and Vienna, the German "beasts" would have been from the 3 SS Panzer Division. Quite a testament to the vicious seesaw fighting that occurred on the southern front around Budapest.
