slava1stclass Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thanks for this info guys. I must admit at having mixed feelings about this, happy for the increased knowledged and a bit sad some of these awards have suddenly lost some of their prestige for me. Francois, You can't go wrong with the Order of Glory. Regards, slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimZ Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Slava1stclass is very right about the order of Glory!!! That is a true valour award and each one tells a story!!! To think that Brezhnev was awarded(!?) the order of victory in 1978 - for what exactly I am still unsure.... This was revoked in 1989....but still...we are speaking of the USSR's TOP award!!! Still got the strength to go on with your life Frank??? Jim :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
