Awarded to Major Y. Karabanov, political commissar in 67th Army, Leningrad Front, by decree of Feb. 13, 1943. This was the only order he received during WWII (he also received medal for "Defense of Leningrad", but it's most likely that he was wounded and did not see any action past January of 1943).
Very scarce decoration to a political commander ("politruk"), for skillful command and personal bravery during the defense of seiged Leningrad.

Unusually good condition, with only a tiny chip of enamel at top of the 12 o'clock arm. All original, no repairs of any kind.
