      in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria

      Posted

      Hello people, I show you a new entry in my collection, three badges of Pilot Cosmonaut first, second and third class ..
      From the little info that I have, the third class was assigned by the Commander of the Air Force for the first space flight
      the second class was assigned by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR for two space flights,
      and the first class was assigned by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR, for three space flights.
      On June 19, 1983, Order No. 161, the Ministry of Defense of the USSR changed this provision.
      The third class was assigned for the first flight in space,
      the second class was assigned for three space flights,
      and the first class was assigned for five space flights and for exemplary performance,
      as conducting missions with particular complexity and long lasting.

      The Soviet Quiz 2014

      Good Paul

      Brezhnev was a lover of military/civil decorations and jealous of those who owned Zukhov
      that's why he was made to attribute a lot of medals, the same number of stars as a hero and one more "hero of socialist labour" to overcome Zukhov
      and even the order of the victory that had no reason to be assigned because it was not a time of war
      Paul well you won now it's your turn to do the next question.

      well Lukasz
      I take the ball to mention the highest honor of the Soviet
      The order of Victory.
      A beautiful jewel of just 72mm at the top, platinum gold and silver studded with Diamonds and Rubies
      to be precise 174 diamonds and synthetic rubies 5 (to have a more uniform red color , rubies are always different in nature have shades ) .
      It was granted only to Generals and Marshals that have been active in the victorious battle that took part in one or more armed
      and with the success of an operation on one or more sides.
      After the death of a holder of this honor , decoration had to return to the state.
      The medals are now kept in the Kremlin Palace in Moscow .
      All orders delivered to the Soviet military leaders , as well as the badge of the Order, delivered to the Marshal Rola - Zymierski ( Polish) are kept in the Diamond Fund of Russia.
      The Order is delivered to the Eisenhower Memorial Museum in Abilene, Kansas.
      The Order of the Marshal Tito is exhibited at the Museum " May 25th " in Belgrade .
      The Order of the Marshal Montgomery is showing the Imperial War Museum in London.
      Only an order of "Victory" , which once belonged to the King of Romania Michail , is in a private collection. According to some , was sold at auction by one of the relatives of the dictator Ceausescu .
      Estimated value of the order in 1945 was £ 3,750 . Estimated value of the order in 2010 ~ $ 5,000,000
      In his story , he was given only twenty times in thirteen personality ( plus five foreign leaders ) , with only one case of revocation.
      but come to us and to the questions of Soviet Quiz
      - Since you like old photos would be nice to see a picture of each personality honored with the Order of Victory.
      - I would like to know who and especially why? the order is revoked
      - And if anyone has info on who owns in private collection the Order
