Grigory Kabakovsky

Grigory Samoylovich Kabakovsky (Russian: Григорий Самойлович Кабаковский; 2 October 1909 – 2 November 1959) was a Ukrainian Red Army lieutenant and Hero of the Soviet Union.

Kabakovsky was awarded the title for leading his company during the Battle of the Dnieper in September 1943, where he reportedly killed 60 German soldiers.

[3] Kabakovsky, then a senior sergeant commanding a gun in the brigade's motor rifle battalion, first distinguished himself in the opening stages of the Battle of Moscow in late November 1941, receiving the Order of the Red Banner on 17 January 1942 for his actions.

With grenades, rifle fire and a machine gun, Kabakovsky reportedly killed 60 German soldiers in the battle to hold the bridgehead.

On reaching the right bank of the Dnieper, he was first to burst into the enemy trench on Hill 118.1, destroying up to sixty Fascists, putting them to flight, and pursuing them for three kilometers.

The heroic actions of Comrade Kabakovsky during the capture of the fortified heights and northern outskirts of Domantovo ensued the crossing of the main forces across the Dnieper without losses.

For valor and heroism displayed in the battles on the right bank of the Dnieper, Comrade Kabakovsky is deserving of the highest state award: Hero of the Soviet Union.
