Putin's Aide Presents Gold Star of Hero to Grandson of WWII Red Army HeroAlexey Berest, the commander of the Soviet flag-raising group during the storming of the Reichstag in 1945, has posthumously received Russia's highest honor. Despite his pivotal role, unlike his fellow soldiers Mikhail Yegorov and Meliton Kantaria, Berest's contribution went officially unrecognized for decades.Russian President Vladimir Putin corrected this historical oversight in July, posthumously awarding Berest the title Hero of Russia."By the decision of the Russian president, historical justice was restored," Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky said.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
