From D.Zampini: 
After a long convalescence due to his wounds and several photo sessions and tours to raise morale, he finally was allowed to return to a unit on the front...

 Hello Monaco,
Thank you, the facts of Baranov's injuries appear to be reasonably consistent now. A word of caution, Zampini's research is highly suspect, especially when describing the actions of non-Soviet forces. For example, he has claimed that particular American aircraft were shot down in Operation Desert Storm, when in fact they crashed in the continental United States.
Regards,
Paul
