    1. I've been doing some research on Yugoslav recipients of Soviet awards and I've decided to share the information I've gathered. I'll do the first class first and post some photos I've found online.

      There are five Yugoslav recipients of the first class.

      1. Josip Broz Tito - awarded on October 4th 1944

      2. Ivan Gošnjak -  awarded on June 20th 1956 (also awarded with the second class)

      3. Arso Jovanović - awarded on October 15th 1945

      4. Koča Popović - awarded on October 15th 1945 (also awarded with the second class)

      5. Aleksandar Ranković - awarded on October 15th 1945

    2. 4 hours ago, Bayern said:

      This is a military cadet uniform ,Mustafa Kemal was a cadet in the Military Academy of Monastir today Bitola 

      The other uniform is the uniform of a Turkish General , used in the thirties , the collar patch is not visible so i can not say which rank of General is 

      Thank you very much for the input! 

      The museum is actually located in the same building where the Military Academy of Monastir was situated.

    3. I've already posted this in the topic below, but I think it also belongs here.

       

      I bought this photo in an antique shop in Skopje, Macedonia.

      Yugoslav Major-General Svetozar Vukmanović "Tempo", giving a speech in Kumanovo, Macedonia in 1945. He's wearing a Yugoslav Order of the Partisan Star 1st class, Partisan Commemorative award of 1941 and a Soviet Order of Kutuzov 1st class.
