Gents,
Another oustanding veteran. S. D. Nomokonov was an ethnic Evenk. Serving as a sniper during the Great Patriotic War he had 360 German kills including several German snipers and one German general. When later engaged in the campaign against the Japanese, he added an additional seven kills - 367 total.
What makes his accomplishment even more amazing is that he registered his kills using a standard-issue Mosin rifle WITHOUT a sniper scope.
Why he was never elevated to HSU remains unclear.
