You again and your puppet forum ...

And another thread full of intimate knowledge!

Red-handed in the process

Interior

In case this auction will disappear in the future

That's one interesting looking 4th class ST!

Badge is on the ribbon - not under. At least it looks like it is ;)

Let's not forget about our boy Elfard94 from YJ

Holy smoke!

P.S. I think I managed (literally!) to decrypt this "yangrongder"! IMHO it stands for "young wrongdoer"

Shocking!

Simply shocking dude!

Good thing it's already past 1 a.m. in Moscow and I am actively boozing up.

Wall of shame!

Great idea!

"Photographed on February 21, 1913

station (ст.) ? Pskov-Riga railway (п.р.ж.д. ?)"

After the Order of Friendship, it says "medals"...

Exactly!

" Medals "

Now, I can accept he "might have" a few medals like the Медаль «За Боевое Содружество» (Military cooperation/brotherhood medals) or Медаль «За Содействие» (medal "For the Promotion of...") from various ministries and departments,

Next step - issue these trinkets to kindergarden teachers who are busy with servicemen's children

... but an officer's commission and a chest full of gongs? Nope...

Well, he is a "star". At least according to his wiki page :lol:

According to the seller, the ring with these hallmarks is from WWI era.

"84 + kokoshnik" was used between 1908 and 1917

AR is a personal mark.

I remember only two makers who used this mark.

First will be Athanasius Rybakov who was active between 1729 and 1748.

Obviously it's not Athanasius.

Another variant will be Ruth Axel Willhelm - owner of workshop in St. Petersburg (late 19th - early 20th century)

I am not sure whether the hallmarks on the picture below are faked or not

By such blur photo - I don't think that anybody can

Cheers,

Nick

Inteesting that "Friendship" (he got it in 2005 for his selfless spinning-wheel activities) is in a place, but no signs of these two badges ...

Piece in post #1 is a state award.

Piece in post #6 is non-governmental award.

Did Yakubovich lie about military service to get the job? Did he simply dress like this for a sketch?

I think these trinkets are official "gifts" from his "fans".

Come on! Dude turns this freaking wheel for 23 years in a row ... Selflessly

I bet Alex Trebek is bursting with envy :lol:

Etalon combination

Who is this general?

A couple of hints

I bet he "fluffed up" his neck badges before shooting

Enjoy!

I bet you are thinking "who is this General"?!

Impressive!

Check out these "veterans"

Weird?!

Come on man!

Lighten up!

We are living in heroic times!
