Final resting place of OPWI recipient, then Major, Grigorii Ilich Raizburd in a Tashkent cemetery. According to podvignaroda he received the OPWI as 234 Rifle Division Chief of Communications during operations in western Ukraine and Poland and conducting subsequent "trophy" operations. During the war he was also awarded a Combat Service Medal. His Lenin, Red Banner, and Red Star are almost certainly long service awards.
