Huh! Poor guy rated a Lenin 1970 as a state employee (presumably) and yet no medals or orders for 25+ years work. Civilians seem to have had some sort of "level" to meet to get one, and at least the guy got THAT.
Rick, well, he did get the "Veteran of Labour" and a "Order of Miners Glory 3rd class"

Dmitriev Alexandr Markovish also received these medals but he must have made his bar pre 85.

Gentlemen,
If I may ask you for information on this piece, it is not made of silver and appears worn.
The frames are split just like other old cross's I have.
But, is this because it is a made for tourist piece or a genuine older item? as somebody once said to me...its a bit tatty to be worn by a KC holder.
Thanks
Chris

Thanks Wild Card...
He was declared HSU 16.10.43...the decrees must be back dated to some sort of system of when they were received, but not processed.
The dates of the decrees are important as they equal privileges...

The LS and GC (HM Forces) is awarded for 15 years service after the age of 18 having finished training, or if older, after 15 years service, also after training.
Of course, it is awarded only if you are not caught being naughty or a culmination of 15 years if there is a break in VG conduct.

The reason why these medals are relatively inexpensive is that 350,000 1st class were awarded....
but these hangers are much harder to find...the highest number observed in P.D's book is 22,529 and the lowest 6,607 for a Variation 3...
this number is nice and low and definitely awarded for more than making good tea for the boss.

Order of Miners Glory
in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Posted
I have to admit I know little about these medals, they are Ministry rather than State awards, and they are pukka.
They came in three class's ....
I have seen a Russian TV star wearing a 3rd class in civvies.
So to all you guys out there with detailed information...slam it up.
Attached are the three classes...they did come with different ribbon bars signifying Russia and its satellite states...that I do know....these type are for Russia
Cheers
Chris
