Well constructed article. Will comeback with suggestions within a day or two. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 13:50, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your patience Kges1901. 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 • mail) 11:53, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Section 1

[edit]
  • 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".

Section 2

[edit]
  • 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.

Section 3

[edit]
  • Why years were not mentioned with any of the dates? Please correct this.
  • The latter sentences in the first para are so confusing. Please revise them
These are my initial suggestions. Once these are addressed, I will suggest more if needed. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 08:13, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
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

[edit]
  • Consider splitting the lead into two paras.

Almost done to go. Once these are addressed, I shall pass the article. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 00:31, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
