Nice ones!

Early post war photo with two Medals for Bravery.

Beautiful collection Gerd! 

I see your Titovka caps had arrived.  

People's Hero Milan Žeželj wearing an Order of People's Hero and an Order for Bravery.

That's the one! Thanks! 

Nikolay Mihaylovich Skoromokhov wearing a Partisan Star 1st class.

True. The only two Soviet made People's Liberations I saw were Kidrič's and Tito's. Here's the painting of Tito wearing that order. Unfortunately I couldn't find the photo although I've seen it many times on the internet. I better save it in my album the next time I see it.  

He's also wearing a Soviet Order of Suvorov 1st class and an Order of People's Hero with a ribbon for the Yugoslav Flag. I guess the painter didn't do enough research.  

Boris Kidrič wearing an Order of the People's Liberation Soviet type.

I cannot get my eyes off of that Yugoslav Crown 1st class.

Pavel Derzhavin, a triple Partisan Star recipient! 

This is really impressive! Two 1st and one 2nd class.

I've seen combinations of 1st+2nd and 2nd+3rd Partisan Stars but I've never seen anyone with all 3 classes. I'm not even sure if there was anyone.

Sergey Georgiyevich Gorshkov wearing one of his two Partisan Stars 1st class.

His daughter donated all of his awards to a Russian museum among which are his Partisan Stars. If I'm not mistaken one is a Mondvor with a screwplate and another one is an IKOM one with a double needle.

Thanks!  

An officer with an interesting combination of a regular soldier Titovka and an early 1946-1953 uniform. He's wearing an Order of Merits for the People possibly 3rd class, an Order and Medal for Bravery. He's also wearing a medal which I can't identify.

That's really impressive! Any chance of a bigger image of his awards?

Nice ones!

Soviet People's Hero Alexander Sergeyevich Shornikov. 

Extraordinary! Thank you very much for sharing!

I know about that. I was actually confused because the stripes on the shoulder boards look like the half of them is cut off. Plus I was on my phone during the time I posted my last reply so the resolution wasn't that good. 

It seems like he is. That's an unusual looking shoulder board.

It could be. This is the first time that I see this badge. Is it true that it was the commissar badge as the seller claims?

Unknown partisans wearing Soviet and Yugoslav type Commemorative Medal of the Partisan 1941. Also a good example of the same person wearing two different types. I can't identify the badge the person on the left side is wearing at the first photo.

Nice ones!

People's Hero Ante Jurjević Baja wearing a Commemorative Medal of the Partisan 1941, Soviet type.

Thanks for the bigger image!

Here's an interesting way of wearing Kingdom and SFRY awards. Order of the Yugoslav Crown, Order of Military Merits with Silver Swords, Order of Merits for the People (possibly with Silver Star), Albanian Commemorative Medal and another medal which I'm unfamiliar with. It's porbably something commemorative. 

Here's a video where I've found it. Commemorating of Armistice Day in Paris during the 80's where Serbian Salonica front veterans were representing Serbia as an Ally country.

Switch to 5:08 for the shot of the medals.

Nice one! Here's a painting of him wearing a People's Hero Order and a Partisan Star.

Thanks for the input! Mistake corrected.

Great photos!

It had crossed my mind but I'm not really sure. :/
