II. Brief description of personal feat or merits
Red Army Man Seliverstov was drafted to the Red Army in 1942. He served in the frontline of the Great Patriotic War as a rifleman in the 3rd company of the 2nd battalion of the 23rd detached rifle brigade when he was defending Leningrad in the direction of Sinyavino Station. Under an enemy attack, the prospective awardee was firmly holding his defense line and repulsed three enemy attacks, wherein 40 Hitlerites were killed. On September 19, 1942, during the assault on Sinyavino Station, Red Army Man Seliverstov was wounded in the left shoulder blade with a mine fragment and was sent to hospital. After 4.5 months of treatment the prospective awardee returned to the front as ?? to the 3rd battalion of the 20th guards rifle division.
With the 20th guards division Comrade Seliverstov took part in the battles for the town of Balaklava. [Note: I believe that was a mistranslation, it should be Balakleya.] In that fight in a hand-to-hand combat with the enemy he received 2 bullet wounds in the chest from a burst of sub-machine gun fire. A heavily wounded Red Army Man Seliverstov was evacuated to a hospital in the rear.
Upon recovery, the prospective awardee was sent to the 208th detached rifle battalion of the 17th rifle brigade, Internal Troops of People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, Ukrainian Military District.
Red Army Man Seliverstov, when in service in the 208th detached rifle battalion, proved himself a disciplined and exemplary soldier. He accurately carries out all given orders and always observes the articles of war. Comrade Seliverstov displays bravery and courage in the fight against Ukrainian nationalists, he has killed 4 bandits and captured 11 bandits.
