Soviet Tourist snaps

[Ed_Haynes]

Several photos related, in some way, to the photo posted at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30953 (well, one of the people seems to be the same).

Groups apparenty (am I right?) called to the Kremlin for some (good) reason.

The perosn we're seeking, same handwriting on all group photos.

Hi Ed,

I for one would love to see more. Always good to see pics like these with the awards being worn. Many thanks for sharing them!

He wherever he is was V. Ya. Shul'man. They SEEM-- at least the closeups you've picked out-- to be aviators, though the officer in #4 has a screwback Badge of Honour.

July '43 is very early for the M43 boards and gimnastyorkas and kitels, and yet they appear to be a well worn and rather weary under dressed bunch for being hustled in for an official visit.
