Brief, concrete description of his feat of arms:
“Over the course of his 8 years of impeccable service with the Pacific Fleet, comrade Sulimov showed himself a disciplined, demanding, and competent political worker full of initiative. Through personal example, his discipline, and his day-to-day work with the troops and officers, comrade Sulimov gained authority and the respect of his men. A well-trained senior party work instructor with the Political Section, he taught dozens of remarkable Party and Komsomol organizers, ensuring on a daily basis that the Party and Komsomol activities are of high quality.
During the Patriotic War and the war with Japanese imperialism, comrade Sulimov made every effort and used all his knowledge for the cause of mobilizing the masses for the struggle with the enemies of our motherland and the strengthening of the borders in the Far East, assisting unit command in ensuring the units’ high level and constant state of combat readiness.
For the exemplary execution of tasks assigned by unit command pertaining to mobilizing the masses for the struggle with the German and Japanese invaders and for his personal example of selfless duty during wartime, comrade Sulimov deserves to be awarded the Order of the Red Star.”
