Well constructed article. Will comeback with suggestions within a day or two. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 13:50, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your patience . Owing to my educational constraints I was unable to review the article. I will free my 13 September, and will start the review soon from then. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 11:53, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Section 1

 * Sentence 2; Consider rewording it as After graduating from the fourth grade, he worked as a metalworker at the Putilov Plant and also as a chauffeur.
 * Sentence 3; It must be "The Bolsheviks" not just "Bolsheviks".
 * Both fixed. Kges1901 (talk) 14:02, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Section 2

 * Last sentence; "The 17th Mechanized Corps was a cadre-strength formation equipped with only 36 tanks" is unnecessary, because the size of the corps has nothing to do with the subject.
 * I think that it is relevant to note that the corps was not at full strength, because it provides context for what happened after Operation Barbarossa. Kges1901 (talk) 14:09, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Section 3

 * Why years were not mentioned with any of the dates? Please correct this.
 * MOS:DATEVAR says that years can be omitted if there is no risk of ambiguity. I believe I have made it clear that the events described in the WWII section all happened in 1941. Kges1901 (talk) 13:58, 14 September 2016 (UTC)


 * The latter sentences in the first para are so confusing. Please revise them
 * Sentences revised. Kges1901 (talk) 14:07, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * These are my initial suggestions. Once these are addressed, I will suggest more if needed. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 08:13, 13 September 2016 (UTC)


 * 16 September 2016
 * Para 2; sentence 6; It is said the army HQ was visited by some journalist, please make it clear whether it was HQ of the whole Red Army or of 50th Army.
 * Para; last sentence; Consider replacing "incorrectly" with "mistakenly".


 * Add a subsection with title "Death" as section 3.1 as the complete para is about it.
 * Para 3; Wiki-link "gangrene" at it's first use (article is available, Gangrene).

Lead
Almost done to go. Once these are addressed, I shall pass the article. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 00:31, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Consider splitting the lead into two paras.
 * Changes done. Kges1901 (talk) 07:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
