[edit] Biography
Alexei Ivanovich Voronin was born in the Soviet Union as a peasant and was soon conscripted into the Red Army when the German Wehrmacht invaded the Soviet Union. He was soon assigned to the 13th Guards Rifle Division and sent to Stalingrad. It is there, at Stalingrad, that he distinguished himself early on by fighting through the German blockade at Red Square, pushing through the train yards and linking up with Major Zubov. For this he was promoted to Junior Sergeant. Awhile later, during the winter, he was assigned to link up with the remnants of Sgt. Pavlov's squad and take Pavlov's House.
After the Battle of Stalingrad, he was reassigned to the 150th Rifle Division, and sent to Poland, where he helped capture key German tank repair facilities in Warsaw's industrial district. Afterwards, he was transferred to the 2nd Guards Tank Army and crews a T-34-85 where he assisted in the push to the Oder River. Soon thereafter, he was reassigned to the 150th Rifle Division, and promoted to Sergeant. It was with the 150th Rifle Division that he took part in the capture of the Reichstag in Berlin, and personally saw the flag bearer raise the Soviet flag over Berlin.
