And what a great feat was accomplished by the participant of the Great Patriotic War Andrey Vasilyevich Dubinin? Very simple - he survived, having defeated fascism, and remained a real person.

Dubinin Andrei Vasilyevich was born on November 30, 1916 in the village of Ottoman of the Stavropol Territory. He was called to the front in March 1943. He began his combat career with service in the 41st Guards Separate Air Defense Division (Guards Anti-Aircraft Battery), which was part of the 6th Guards Cavalry Grodno Order of Lenin Red Banner Orders of Suvorov Kutuzov and the Red Star Division.

The division was especially successful in the Belorussian offensive operation of 1944 as part of a cavalry-mechanized group under the command of Lieutenant General N. S. Oslikovsky, which was part of the 3rd Belorussian and, from July 14, the 2nd Belorussian Front.
