??? 1943 Germans began their counter attack near Derebische village, then the gun, which gunlayer was comrade Kalinin, was moved forward to fire over open sights to the place near Novorotye village. Defying death, comrade Kalinin fearlessly shot counter-attacking Germans with his gun, as a result, the counter attack was repulsed, at that 3 machine guns and up to 50 soldiers and officers were destroyed.
??? 1943. During the Germans’ second counter attack the gun commander was wounded and comrade Kalinin fulfilled duties of the gun commander, continuing to repulse the counter attack; then comrade Kalinin was wounded into chest, but he went to the medical unit just to have his chest dressed and returned to the battery, ready to smash the enemy. In that battle comrade Kalinin’s gun destroyed “Ferdinand” gun, 1 machine gun, one antitank gun and up to 20 soldiers and officers.
