JimZ Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Just found these in a pile of soviet medal doucments, does any one know what they are for?Order of VictoryBest as I can say the lower document is a pass for transport department of NKGB USSR of Lvov Railroads issued to Seargeant Duchenko Roman (patronym illegible)The upper document is a certificate of award for active participation of work awarded by Volonteers Society of Assistance to Soviet Army (DOSAAF). Signature appears to be of Marshal of Soviet Union C.M. Budyonny.If its a signature not a stamp it could be an interesting document. If you wanna see more about the guy just check this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semyon_BudyonnyRegardsJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
order_of_victory Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) JimCould be an intresting document, I think its avery intresting document signed by one of those who survived the purges Is the NKGB the same as KGB Also would the DOSAAF doc come with a badge or medal Order of Victory Edited August 6, 2006 by order_of_victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimZ Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I just looked at the docs and based on the content tried to explain what they are. Cannot be the one to say whether it comes with a medal or badge as I have not seen anything of the sort before. But the name did catch my attention and I thought I'd look it up. Beyond that.....I hope someone else throws more light on them for ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck In Oregon Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) Iamnot quiet sure what this is any suggestions?* * * * *I think this (post 7) is a membership book in the Spartak Sports Society, or what we might call a club. There should be pages with provisions for annual membership stamps behind the page you showed us. I'm pretty sure it still exists. It was one of the oldest. Others included Dinamo, Lokomotiv, Shakter, and many others, usually under the umbrella of a sponsoring workers' professional association. Let me know if you decide to collect these as a theme. I've got a few around here.Chuck Edited August 14, 2006 by Chuck In Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have a few. In fact, these two Shakter books were sitting right here under my computer monitor. The pin is either a membership pin or a conference pin, I'm not sure.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
order_of_victory Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Fantastic , and a badge as well They look less molested than my Spartak one Order of Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck In Oregon Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 And here's where the annual stamps go.We don't talk much about sports and sports awards here. I don't exactly know why. Sure, they aren't military, but they are Soviet (and other) awards and they have some interesting history, especially with the Soviet Union, where government was a part of everything.Do you -- does anyone -- know whether sports awards are allowable on GMIC and, if they are, which forum would be appropriate to share Soviet sports awards? I have only posted one, my shooting champion's national team sash with badges and medals, but I have some more.I have always thought that Soviet sports awards would be an interesting theme to collect. I haven't made an organized effort to do so, mostly because of the sheer size of the universe of awards. You could almost devote a sub-forum to the subject here. Any other thoughts on the subject?Related to that, of course, are the sports clubs like Shakter that we are discussing here. I have some pretty rare old variations of sports club badges. Not many of them, rarity being what it is, but some.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
order_of_victory Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) Wow The stamp in the bottom one looks nicer than what I was expecting As to how they fit in to GMIC, Im not sure But Im sure it could turn into a facinating thread , though not a collector of Sports awards, Iam developig a un-healthy facination of Soviet Documents, so Im sure I must have some documents to add.Order of Victory Edited August 14, 2006 by order_of_victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Eh, throw 'em in with any OTHER awards, just as is. Problem is, IF there are reference books on these, I don't know about them.So much to know, and so little information to go by...which is why it is ALWAYS good to post things and see what else comes out too.
