    Thanks, JC. I think that is fairly new, and confirms that all of them are still being awarded. Need to see if the change in requirements for the Mother Heroine are reflected.

    A very well designed site on Mongolian coins (of course) from a member of the Mongolian Numismatic Association. Click on Gallery and then look at the pic right above Tsedenbal... interesting, the award is on his jacket with a rosette underneath!

    The group picture with the first Mongolian ambassadors is also very nice.

    No, these rosettes (for Mongolian and even Soviet awards) were more common than we think, though they have usually gone missing.

    A nbice site by the way! Thanks.

    Umphf... thats a nice picture! :rolleyes:

    Basic serial number research (#### awarded to A - person - A on B - date -B as C - position - C) and will come from the President's office, and the doors there are (were) open (unless too many have been public yapping and wielding politics). Just transcribing the registers.

    More serious research will come from the archives and be VERY complex as it will take full solid skills as a historian and multi-language and -script capability. Seeking a good young MA student to employ and set to work as a slave. (That is OK in today's post-Socialist Mongolia, right? It was cool in the old days after all.)

    Much material in the archives (full Order of the Vajra information, for example), but there is much political sensitivity and they are opening very slowly and cautiously. Fear of lawsuits (your grandaather killed my grandfather ...).

    Nope. Sitting back and waiting. :cheers:

    I am curious of course... i recall buying some (undocumented) high end stuff a few years ago where the seller insisted on selling it as one set... always had the thought that he was trying to keep something together which should stay together... hope to find out someday, until then... keeping them carefully together:)

    Mongolia Honours Soviet Soldiers

    08.05.2003 | Source: Pravda.Ru

    Ahead of the Victory Day celebrations the authorities of Ulan Bator in Mongolia, that was member of the anti-Hitler coalition, moved the monument to the Soviet tank brigade Revolutionary Mongolia, a T-34 tank, to the foot of the Zaisan mountain, on the southern outskirts of the capital.

    Thus, the memorial devoted to Soviet soldiers who fought in World War II "acquired a new, more accomplished look," the municipal authorities believe.

    The decision to move the monument, installed in 1970 on the occasion of the Victory's 25th anniversary, in one of the city's central highways, the Genghis Khan avenue, was taken by the Mongolian government in April.

    The works to move the tank, that had reached Berlin as part of the Revolutionary Mongolia brigade and then under its own power got to Ulan Bator, were conducted efficiently. The 33-ton vehicle was brought down from the cement pedestal and then taken in a special truck to the mountain, where it was set in its honorary place.

    The Revolutionary Mongolia tank brigade was set up in 1942 for the money raised by Mongolian people. Later it was turned into the tank regiment, which is still stationed near Moscow. In October 1964 the regiment was given Mongolia's highest award, the order of Sukhe Bator, the leader of the Mongolian revolution.
