Andrey Georgyevich Shebalkov (Russian: Андрей Георгиевич Шебалков; 30 October 1921 – 17 June 1980) was a Red Army senior sergeant and a Hero of the Soviet Union. Shebalkov was awarded the title on 24 March 1945 for his actions during the capture of Inowrocław during January 1945. He captured the commander of German troops in the city and with his squad killed numerous German soldiers. Shebalkov demobilized after the end of the war and was arrested on charges of writing anti-Soviet letters in 1948. He was stripped of his awards and imprisoned in the Gorlag at Norilsk. After Stalin's death Shebalkov was released and his awards were restored. He worked as a mechanic in Zelenokumsk.
