Private Yuri Petrenko was a Soviet Union soldier who fought during World War II.

Biography
Yuri was a conscript who was sent to the Kursk Front to stop the German assault. He was sent via train to a temporary railhead near Botovo, just minutes from the trench line. He is under the command of Sergeant Antonov in the 67th Guards Rifle Division. After holding the trenches and fighting for the village, he and his squad is sent to Ponyri to take the village, trainstation and tractor factory where he must take out a tank inside the factory with panzerfausts. He also covers Boris Semashko while he plants charges on Panzer tanks. He is shortly taken away from his squad and is transferred to the 2nd Guards Tank Division to take a village and defend it from a tank assault. You are congratulated by your commander, Vladimir Kolinskiy at the end. After, you are sent back to your squad which is reassigned to 15th Guards Rifle Division to take Kharkov. You take its outskirts and the trainstation, driving the Germans back with the help of a troop train which takes a little while to get to your position. After, the game is over, and it is not known what happens to him. Clearly, he survived the war.
