The greatest insight into his military career is his Communist Party Membership.
Originally filled in in 1974 it was updated until 1991.
He was in the VKLSM from 1951 until 1962.
A candidate in July 1961 by Party Commissionaire of 207th Separate Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment (Medium Calibre)
Membership August 1962 by Party Commissionaire of 158th Separate Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment (Medium Calibre)
His late father was a farmer, his mother a housewife.
He graduated from the 11th Class in Ahaldaba in 1956.
He was awarded 3 Medal plus 70 and 80 Years Of The Armed Forces, if this was completed in 1991 it would indicate a "complete" group of 5 Medals.
The reason why he does not wear any awards in any of his portraits may be to hide the fact he hasn't been awarded certain awards he would be expected to (Long Service and Jubilees). I have known others to avoid advertising they have not been awarded "good service" awards by not even wearing a ribbon bar at formal events.
His service is as follows.
