slava1stclass Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 To all: A very nice photograph of Lieutenant Colonel Gennadiy Vasilevich Tsatsorin. He was awarded the title Hero of Russia for valor in Chechnya. Note, too, that he wears wound stripes (red denoting light wounds) - a tradition carried forward from Soviet days.

JimZ Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I do not care much for Umalatove medals and although these have been discussed in other threads, why is a Lt Col. on active duty (I assume) wearing non official govenment awards on his uniform??I do not understand!!! What next..... a young man working at McD and having received dangly shiny bits of metal is going to wear them on his uniform a few years later! I know this is an exagaration indeed.... Someone enlighten me please.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone enlighten me please.JimJim, I agree with you. As an active duty officer he is wearing authorized military decorations and badges of the Russian Federation. Among them are: "Герой Российской Федерации, медали ?За воинскую доблесть? I степени, ?За отвагу?, другие медали."Regards,slava1stclass Edited April 3, 2007 by slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belaruski Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The hero star looks odd without a 'Lenin' underneath it..At least there isn't an order of Putin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimZ Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi Belarsuki!Well - inspite of the project for the Order of Stalin which never really took off, I doubt Putin would dare try make his own order! Although strangely enough, I did come across a medal (?) on ebay with Bush and Putin on it..... Still wondering if that was a bad joke or a hallucination..... or really a contemporary modern medal!!! Its a pity that these modern groups somehow lack the "je ne sais quoi" factor that previous Soviet groups had. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
