    1. I have even better story for you today! Check this out This is original early Anna from the collection of Historical Museum in Moscow
    2. Now I believe that this Gent (Mark - you certainly remember him (his name unfortunately is unknown to us)) (standing or not standing - impossible to see on this photo)
    3. Yep http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2014/post-6141-0-44666400-1409090274.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2014/post-6141-0-94744100-1409090285.jpg http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2014/post-6141-0-89537400-1409090279.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2014/post-6141-0-94744100-1409090285.jpg
    4. And this Gent is not alone. I was able to find better photo of Alexander Vasilievich Kritzkyi (presumably) The sash for his 1st class is obviously not green and his Lion is a standing one
    5. Ok. Now something absolutely new. As we know two divisions. Standing lion = military Incumbent lion = civil Foreigners were awarded only with civil division on green ribbon. Now we have firm evidence that this rule doesn`t hold water (unfortunately the name of this cavalier is unknown to me) The lion is standing!
    6. I didn't. Until you posted (highly intellectual) post # 9 I'll try
    7. I gave you a clear cut answer to your question (see post # 8) Then you started to provoke me. Please, stop doing it The award itself is well known http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Suvorov It's the pictures that we are usually lacking. This tread was created as companion to this one http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/54829-order-of-kutuzov-to-airbase/?hl=kutuzov
    8. Actually it`s only the order and how it looks (after "modernization") that I am interested in. Trust me I care only about phaleristical aspect of this awarding and nothing else. As for You are obviously confused
    9. Then maybe next time you should try it instead of writing As for Article 2.8 of club rules prohibits me from such "insightful expert translation" "... overly political or religious viewpoints are not considered to be suitable material for publication...". http://gmic.co.uk/rules2012.pdf
    10. "For the successful execution of command assignments and for displaying of courage and heroism"
    11. P.S. Ooops, just noticed I made a mistake in the title of this thread It is of course Order of Suvorov, so the correct title will be Order of Suvorov awarded to 76th Airborn Division
