Short, concrete description of his feat of arms or accomplishments:
Comrade Kotinov has been serving in the battalion since its formation in December 1941, commanding a traffic control platoon. He shows vigor in his duties and carries out all traffic control-related orders in a timely manner. The stretch of road he services is always in order. During the offensive operations comrade Kotinov, following right behind the forward units, personally put up traffic control posts, thus enabling the advance of transport vehicles along their designated routes. During the entire period of the offensive, no traffic jams or delays in motor transport movements occurred in comrade Kotinovs sector.
During the fighting for the socialist motherland in August 1941 comrade Kotinov sustained a severe wound.
