Ivan Murzin
HISTORY:_x000D_
Ivan Murzin was born in 1903 in the village of Diveevo, Gorky Region, and lost his parents very early. He had five sisters left on his shoulders. During these difficult years, fate brought him together with a full member of the Soviet Academy of Science Prokhorov. He had finished the same 4 years school in the village of Diveevo. He found out about my grandfather's exceptional abilities, and offered him a better education on full state support. Unfortunately, my grandfather could not take advantage of this valuable offer and leave his younger sisters._x000D_
The war began, and he was called to the front in July 1941 by the Diveyevskiy District Military Commissariat of the Gorkiy Region. From the Internet, I learned that my grandfather was a private of the sanitary company of the 10890th Lvov Red Banner Rifle Regiment. He fought on the Central, Western, and First Ukrainian Fronts._x000D_
During the war, he was an orderly. He took out dozens of wounded soldiers from the battlefield, treated wounds, bandaged them and applied splints. In January 1943, wounded in the arm, continued to save people, and later got into the medical unit. He fought until May 1945. On the website we found the original orders for awarding the grandfather and a description of his exploits._x000D_
