When looking back at the titanic struggle that was the Great Patriotic War, it’s important to remember the individual heroes, like Guards Sergeant Arkady Burakov, who fought selflessly to ensure victory over fascism.
In a letter to his brother dated March 30, 1944, Burakov recalled how, during one operation, he was wounded in the arm, but fought on together with his squad, repelling several Nazi counterattacks.
Just weeks later, Burakov was back in the fight, suffering a severe wound to his stomach, and receiving a top commendation – the Order of the Patriotic War First Class, for his bravery.
