Is this guy really the one who hoisted the flag first?

According to this page on the Victory Banner, and another of it's pages here, Stepan Andreyevich Neustroyev was the man who first hoisted the flag onto the Reichstag. Alexei Kovalyov is the one in the photo, held in place by the guy with two watches, a Dagestan sergeant.

However, further research like this WWI forumstates that Michail Petrowitsch Minin was the first to hoist the flag, according to a German TV production. Any information on this?

The Red Baron

Note: Something is wrong here. In Wikipedia’s Link to the “Article in Russian”, Minin’s name is: Georgiy Ivanovitch Minin. In the Link to the German article, the name is Michail Petrowitsch Minin. Also, Minin’s pictures on the German and Russian articles are of two different people (The shoulder pads as well as the medals don’t match either). -- Comment by User:206.248.132.5

period?

I have a feeling the bit about the red cloth symbolizing a period is inaccurate...
