Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Christophe replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Let's recap where we are with this Question #140 : Question #140 Let's stay with the Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR... This Order has been created in 1920 to honour citizens, enterprises, organizations, united and autonomous republics, krais, oblasts, autonomous oblasts, regions, cities... for significant accomplshment in industry, science, art, culture, literature, education, social, healthcare and other spheres of labour activity. 163 of these Orders have been awarded between 25 April 1921 and 21 January 1933 (even after the Order of Red Banner of Labour of the USSR existed !!). Amongst these 163, 120 have been awarded to individuals (citizens) and 43 to organisations (the ones mentioned above). One of these organisations has been awarded a rather unique combination of awards (in chronological order) : * Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR * Order of the Red Banner * Order of Lenin * Order of the October Revolution. I have taken this pic when I have been received for the first time in this organisation a few months ago. Questions : 1. What organisation are these Orders belonging to ? 2. What is its mission ? Where is it located (exact location)? 3. What is the SN and awarding date of its Order of Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR ? And for which reason ? Bonus : what are the dates of awarding of its other Orders ? The additional clues are the following : A : Only 10 Red Banner of the RSFSR have been awarded to organisations after the mystery one. B : Gagarin was used to go there... C : Look at the picture below... The first one to correctly answer the 3 questions is the winner... Good hunt and good luck... Cheers. Ch. -

Hi Christian, I think it is the Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the Russian Federation of Republics (RSFSR), instituted on 28 Dec. 1920. On it is written "Hero" and "Labour". Here is a bad pic. A better one to follow. Ch.
