Here is a temporary certificate to the Medal "For The Capture Of Prague" awarded to Starshina Vjacheslav Iosifovich Gurbenko by the Political Section of the 31st Army. After putting Gurbenko's name into the "site" it came up that he was awarded a Medal "For Combat Merits" in June 1945 (which I don't have) and it lists his position as "House Artist Of The Red Army". Seeing his citation is also handwritten quite artistically I'm not able to translate it myself but never-the-less it seems like a fairly obscure position to hold.
"Signed with his own rubber stamp"
