Ochil Kadyrov

Ochil Kadyrov (Russian: Очил Кадыров; 1910 – 13 March 1945) was an Uzbek Red Army soldier and a posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union.

Kadyrov was posthumously awarded the title for reportedly using his machine gun to enable the crossing of the Narew by his regiment in September 1944.

On 29 June, during the battle for Bobruysk, Kadyrov reportedly was one of the first to cross the Berezina River and attacked a German trench alongside other soldiers.

On 26 August, during fighting for the village of Stoke in Ostrów Mazowiecka County in the Białystok Voivodeship, he reportedly supported the attack with machine gun fire.

He reportedly killed 15 German soldiers and suppressed the fire of a machine gun, for which he was recommended for the Order of Glory 3rd class but was instead awarded the Medal "For Courage" on 11 September.
