*Politruk Battalion Commissar* WWII Soviet Russian Photo w/ 20yr RKKA Award a28

Description

Original vintage photograph.
It measures approximately
3 1/2 x 5 1/4
Inches. This photograph is of a battalion political commissar Grigoriy Ilyich Rybalchenko. He was awarded the "For defense of Moscow" medal, the order of the Red Banner and the order of Lenin during WWII.
Interesting fact: During WWII German soldiers were ordered not to take any political commissars as prisoners by the German high command, and execute them on the spot because they were considered enforcers of "Judeo-Bolshevism" ideology in the military forces.
I am a collector from USA, currently living in Russia.
