Description: Soviet Russian USSR Medal Order of the Red Star #1,367,784, with research, awarded to Engineer Lieutenant-Colonel Sergey Leontevich Draganchul, a staff officer of the 4th Air Army and later Senior Officer of the 5th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, for “special missions” in 1944-1945 on behalf of the army Command. During offensives in Belorussia, Poland, and Prussia, Draganchul carried out special missions from Command to ascertain the supply status of the army’s forward airfields. The accurate information he provided allowed Command to make important decisions, and the assistance he rendered to the units he inspected improved their combat readiness. Draganchul’s Red Star citation was signed by the army’s deputy commander, Lieutenant-General Korotaev. At the time of awarding, Draganchul was a Senior Lieutenant. After the war, Draganchul rose to the rank of Engineer Lieutenant-Colonel. The 5th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, in which he served, was responsible for development of anti-aircraft systems. Condition excellent, as seen in the images! One microchip visible on the 5 o’clock ray. Original screw disc included. Winner will be provided with full archival research (8 pages including Award Record Card, citation, and awarding decree) in electronic format in color and unredacted, as well as an archival portrait of Draganchul wearing his Red Star, also in electronic format.
