World War II activities
[edit]He was drafted into the Red Army in 1941 and originally worked in the military tribunal of the 48th Cavalry Division.[2] After the division became surrounded during a Nazi military offensive he switched to working in the partisan military tribunal system.[2] From 10 October 1942 to 5 January 1943 he was the secretary of the Military Tribunal of the Crimean Partisan Detachments in Qarasubazar.[3] The tribunal handled a wide range of types of cases.[4] After the Crimean Partisan groups were reorganized, he served as a partisan, commanding a sabotage group.[5] While functioning as a partisan in Crimea, he personally participated in military combat operations, personally killing two Nazis as well as helping destroy vehicles.[6][7]
