Unfortunately, I don't have any award or awarding document. I only have the temporary passport which I bought many years ago from our fellow NotaBene as a "Temporary passport issued to a person released from Gulag". But with obd-memorial coming up a few years ago I was able to learn about the Court-Martial conviction. More recently, with the online publishing of Navy archives, I found the citations for OPWI and ORB. The ORB being a long service has a lot of info about his carreer.
It's nice to be able to combine records from different sources to get a more detailed picture. However, the big mystery remains... what could have happened in the short period between his recommendation for ORB in September 1944 and his sentencing on October 3?
As for the ORB, he might never have physically received it. Or maybe once release from Kargopol'lag?
