best regards

whispy

hi all,

ive just recieved the research on my second Russian group,and was wondering if anyone might beable to help me decipher this document ?,it seems to date from 1997..maybe some sort of award card?

Also if people are looking to get research done quick then Alexei is the "man"!!!.Isent him details of my group about a week ago(maybe less) and got 10 pages of research back today!!!..now thats what i call service

Acctuly as this is an 1985 issue there will be no way to research it

Order of Victroy

oops...my bad

And another plea gentlemen! This also arrived today, with the label in German being Orden Medaille UDSSR CCCP Vaterl?nd Krieg 2. Klasse. Could someone let me know what the correct name of the medal is in English please? This is the first one of these I have bought, and it looks great!

Thanks again!

Hi there,

its looks like an "Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class".Other more informed members will be able to tell you a lot more tho, but there will be a citation for this if you get it researched.

Whispy.

I "got" a ton (well several hundered dollars) of research from him at OMSA, but as it hadn't been translated yet, . . .

(Alexei does research now . . . ??? Any experiences???)

hi there, Alexei did the research on my Order of Glory group (posted erlier on the forum)....took 7 days

What's the number, 386293?

I'm no expert but it's got some good things going for it (if the number's right).

And yes, there are many fake OG3s.

Any chance of some less shakey images? Focus particularly on the obverse center medaillion.

BTW, anybody notice the cavalier set on US eBay? $12k

hi Eric, i noticed the cavalier OG group....wish i had the dosh to buy it (sigh)..wonder what the final bid will be

Whispy,

Thank You!! I would appreciate that!!! I'm slowly gathering citations and award groups for the book. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

Many Thanks,

Doc

DOC,

i can send you scans of the documents when ever you need them but pics of the group might take a little longer as im still sorting a camera out

whispy

Nominated for and received awards apparently suffered from some sort of quota, with what may have been perceived as "better" awards being held back for Preferred Comrades. After all, a staff lounge lizard Comrade Major would like a Patriotic War 2nd Class very much, but if that month's allotment was already handed out to those Inferior NCO Comrades, what then? An NCO could get a Glory, but not an Exalted Comrade. So.....

Campaign Medals were not noted on the ARC because she was back in civilian life and all that had come through yet-- as of that day-- were her decorations. Perfectly normal. She was GONE and perhaps even her old units no longer existed. Took years sometimes for catch up. Chances are they would NEVER be added to the ARC down at the local Veterans Commissariat, so without having a complete group, all you can go by is where her units were.

thanks Rik,

your input and views make a lot of sence and have opened my eyes as to a little of the polatics behind the awarding of decorations etc in the Russian military.Paul Schmitt did the translations of my documents and he told me the awards were most likely a "catch up" and were probably issued in 1967 !!

So basically she would have been entitled to a "Victory over Germany" and the rest depended on where and how long her unit was deployed ? (Hmm....me thinks more research is on the cards )

whispy

hi,

just wanted to say how much were apreciating the comments and info you guys have given us .

Also "Doc" if you would like to use my group for your book on Medics,i would be happy to send you the document scans and(when i get a camera) pics of the group with the award book.

whispy

Hi all,

thanks for the comments and congrats concerning my first researced group.Im hoping somone can answer a few qustions that are puzzling me, first,there are no mention of any campaign medals ? she must of been entiteled to at least 1 or maybe 2?

also does anyone have any info about the actions of her regiment in which she won her decorations ?

once again MANY THANKS to all fo your comments.

whispy

A Female Order Of Glory recipient?!?!?! Lets see the metals.

BTW, I cannot get your links to open up.

Paul

Hi Paul, i would love to post some pics of the group but i dont have a camera at the moment,will try to sort somthing out soon tho.

Whispy

Very interesting. Thanks!

Makes me think back to my first Soviet medal, a solo Glory III to First Sergeant of the Guards Alexandra Vasilyevna Grebenschchikova. See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2329

Hi there Ed, we read the post about your Glory III before we got the research back (was supprised it only took a week to get it from Alexei),but we never dreamed we would have a similar citation to yours.Its interesting to note that both women were down graded (its a pity as they were hard won awards )

hi all,

im new to this forum and thought you would like to see my first researched Russian group,the group only consists of 2 awards (order of red star and order glory3 with award book ).I bought this group a few years ago for a very small outlay and had no idea who or what the awards were for (other than they were for gallantry).My new partner got her eye on them a while back and asked if i could reaserch them as a project, a couple of weeks later we had the reults and were very suprised to find they were awarded to a "combat medic"...a woman !!.

Any comments or info any of you can give about "medics" and awards to women in the red army would be greatfully recieved.

Both me and my partner are still totaly blown away at how brave these people were.

whispy.
