He has taking part in combat minesweeping missions with the 20th Motor Minesweeper Squadron, 1st Minesweeper Brigade, Crimean Naval Defense Area, Black Sea Fleet since August 1944.

During combat minesweeping missions he acts audaciously, keeps his composure, and acts with confidence. KT 257, on which Chervinsky serves as a minelayer, swept and destroyed 25 enemy mines and anti-sweeping devices in Feodosia Gulf.

He possesses a thorough understanding of his specialization.

Translation research of the Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class #395388 :

“Seaman Chervinsky has been taking part in combat minesweeping missions since August 1944. While sweeping Feodosia Gulf and Koktebel Bay he showed bravery and courage. During combat minesweeping missions comrade Chervinsky kept a lookout for mines for 12-14 hours on end; properly and promptly reporting on mines he spotted, repeatedly saving both the crew and the boat from peril.

The minesweeper on which comrade Chervinsky serves enabled the detonation of more than 200 enemy mines.

Rowing a two-oar dinghy comrade Chervinsky detonated more than 20 enemy mines. Without regard for the danger and in spite of the difficulties, comrade Chervinsky more than once unwound lines that were tangled around the screw, each time working under water for 2 hours without any special appliances or diving equipment. He thus ensured the minesweeper was returned to duty in the fastest way possible, right in the minefield.”
