    Recommended Posts

    Some rare photos and original design drawings.

    Actually the design of modern St.Andrew badge is much closer to design of the badge that belonged to Peter the Great, than to Keibel and Eduard badges from early XX century ;)

    Yes not a thing of great beauty in comparison to the original, post 9 is such a big lad the star looks like a miniature on breast, he could certainly have worn the full set down to St Stanislaus without looking overloaded.

    The "big lad" in post #9 is quite a man... His name is Valery Shumakov, the father of organ transplant in Russia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valery_Shumakov

    In post #10 is renowned author Daniil Granin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniil_Granin
