For Bravery,U/N 1981,Deputy Platoon Commander,328th Separate Penal Company

Might be reading more into this than is warranted, but the clarity and conciseness of the write up and descriptions stand out: "disciplined, self-possessed, efficient, bold, decisive". I think the penal unit commander was trying to make a point on Rudenko's "rehabilitation". I dare say leading an attack through wire, breaking into and capturing a position and repelling a counterattack is a classic case for a Glory; can't help but think the downgrade was because he was in a penal unit.

Remarkable catch up award! Happy ending that he made it out of the unit and war.
