Ed_Haynes Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Let me try some stills. The best I can get from the YOUTUBE images.Nice to see these worn, especially by well-known rock stars (which I assume these folk to be). Not there long enough to get "into" pop music, especially in a language some of whose sounds I don't think I shall EVER be able to make, much less speak, understand, or read with facility.Image Anthem 1OK, let us get rid of him, jewelery only.

fjcp Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Image Anthem 4bOK, better. (Ignoring cleavage!)Title of Merit (B A8) on the right // ??? / maybe Outstanding Worker of Culture (B S 03)?I have to agree with your ID but why ignore the cleavage????I guess it's the uniform! Now back to the topic at hand I think that the old gentleman has a red banner of labour nestled between his polarstars.My guess would be that they were awarded in that order ps/rbl/ps. I guess order of precedence didn't matter that much.I suspect that this gentleman may have been a teacher of some sort I'll post the picture that led me to that conclusion in a minute.JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) For those who want to sing along:See: http://www.linguamongolia.co.uk/page71.htmlThe current national anthem was written in 1950. The music was composed by Bilegiin Damdins?ren (1919-1991) and Luvsanjamts Murjorj (1915-1996) and the words were written by Tsendiin Damdins?ren (1908-1986). The anthem was changed slightly in 1961 to include references to communism and the Communist Party, however the original words were restored in the early 1990's following the election of a democratic government. This anthem replaced the ?Internationale? - a communist workers song adopted following the proclamation of the Mongolian People?s Republic in 1924. Damdins?ren, a native of Dornod Aimag, was a giant of modern Mongolian literature, whose influence on modern writing is second only to that of Natsagdorj. He spent his formative years studying abroad in Leningrad (1933-38) where he became fluent in Russian, worked as a translator, and produced a diverse body of work including poetry, fiction, translation, history and literary criticism. In 1947 he published a beautiful translation of the Secret History in modern Mongolian, and was a three times winner of the prestigious ?State Prize?. He was also instrumental in the introduction of the Cyrillic script. Rough English:Our sacred revolutionary countryis the ancestral hearth of all MongolsWe will never yield at the foot of the enemyand we will prosper for eternityForming into unified rankswith all the honest countries of the worldlet us develop our beloved Mongoliawith an iron will and all our strengthThe fortunate people of brave Mongoliahave freed themselves from suffering and enjoy happinessthe pillar of delight, the key of progresslet our majestic nation live forever!Forming into unified rankswith all the honest countries of the worldlet us develop our beloved Mongoliawith an iron will and all our strengthThe site has more, including the anthem in bichig, cyrillic, and transliteration. It is a SUPER site otherwise! Edited October 21, 2006 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjcp Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I just had to steal your picture Ed, I hope you don't mind.I think that the little red and white badge on the right side of this picture is an "outstanding worker of the people's education" badge.(R 01-R 06)Which variation will no doubt remain a mystery but I'm pretty confident of the ID, any thoughts?

Agreed. They aren't my pictures, from Mongolian TV after all.Read the translation - seems "interesting" for the rock treatment of these sentiments!I think "Mr. Jewelery" is the chap behind the apparently GREAT rock opera (yes!) on Chengiz Khan (yes yes!!). Wasn't able to get tickets when I was in UB. Sold out. Edited October 21, 2006 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't able to get tickets when I was in UB. Sold out. Despite being in the music field myself, I can't imagine what that would be like.I'm not passing judgement but I think I might let a chuckle or two slip at the wrong time.Here is a picture of a Mongolian military man with his ribbon bar, not his actual medals but still interesting.For those too lazy to look it up, here are what the first five ribbons are for:1: Order of combat valour2:Honorary medal of combat3: Polar star (interesting that the combat medal is mounted before the PS, is this right?)4:40 years of the MPR5:50 years MPR6:??? (possibly another medal of combat, but why would it be mounted there?)7:?8:?Also what's the guy on the left have? Looks American, which really isn't my field.JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
