Yugoslavia IKOM-Zagreb
Christian Zulus replied to Christian Zulus's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Gentlemen, IKOM-Zagreb might have worked for some more states of the Non-Aligned Movement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement ? Best regards Christian -

Dear Bryan, Eugene offers a very nice one - s/n. 42003 - for USD 525,- (without booklet): http://www.russianglory.com/Drujba_42003a.jpg . Igor offers a exceptional beauty - s/n. 34574 - for USD 655,- (without booklet): http://www.collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=16996 It seems, that the FoNs got already rather rare and the price tags are getting more numbers, but the FoN is still somehow affordable to the "normal" collector . Best regards Christian

Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Christian Zulus replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
For keeping the unity Dear Nick, that's THE point - no question. It's also nasty for me to trawl through the pages, if I am looking for some specific information . Christophe's quiz is not only entertaining, but extraordinary educative and contains tons of informations. Christophe has already installed a comprehensive index about all questions, which contains all the mentioned persons, medals, topics etc. You already installed a system, where it is possible to dial directly - without to trawl through the pages - the wanted page. For keeping the unity of Christophe's quiz-thread, the most "elegant" and "consumer friendly" solution might be, if Christophe might write the pages to the topics of his quiz-index - i.e.: Marshal Zhukov - p. 34, p. 74 & p. 89 or Red Banner of Labour - p. 12 & 58, etc., etc. Splitting up our quiz-thread would mean, that a GMIC-member, who is looking for informations about i.e. the Red Banner of Labour, would have to check two (2) threads . Keeping the thread + pages (maybe already linked ) at Christophe's very precise index . Just my few cents to the discussion ... Best regards Christian BTW: Another "consumer friendly" solution might be, if Christophe's quiz is transfered into a genuine GMIC-section(like the Yugo Forum), the old questions are splitted up according to certain topics in different threads and every month, the content of the thread containing the recent questions, will be also transfered to the specific topics. -
Yugoslavia Yugoslavia is a GMIC-section
Christian Zulus replied to Christian Zulus's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Dear Bob, I think, there will be a comprehensive book about communist YU-awards next year: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...st&p=213259 . Best regards Christian -
FoN as a "mascot" Gentlemen, many thanks for your compliments . But the more important FoN in my collection is the other one - less patina, but no orders booklet - s/n. 24318, which had been one of my first Soviet Awards in my collection and which I use as a "mascot" or "lucky charm" at very important occasions: birth of my daughter Milica, etc. In my view the motto "Friendship of Nations" is of extraordinary importance in our time and I really love the "opulent" design of the FoN . The FoN's design of the 1970 is a true and authentic reminisce of the great era of "Socialist Realism" . Best regards Christian

Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Christian Zulus replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Dear Ed, of course, "no fight" . I am also not an IT-expert, but I guess, that the fractioning up into 94 sites speeds up the download time dramatically. Best regards Christian -

Dear Christophe, as already stated, GMIC opens page per page - so, it makes NO difference, if a thread is long or not . Best regards Christian -
Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Christian Zulus replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Dear Ed, the internet connection opens only one (of the almost 100 sites ) of Christophe's quiz. So, it wouldn't make any difference, if we would split up the quiz. I can't imagine at all, that GMIC works at all on none ultra-high-speed internet connections - you would wait for minutes for uploading a site . Best regards Christian -

Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Christian Zulus replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Gentlemen, the person in question had been Lieutenant General of the Ukrainian Forces Mykola Sabilyi . That's the "menu-card" of the wine tasting party to his honour: The General had been a great fan of heavy & sweet wines, so I offered him 3 of the very best wines we had in Austria in 1996 . Frank, congratulation to your victory #10 It's your turn now again ... Best regards Christian -
Yugoslavia Zeljko "Nick" Glasnovic
Christian Zulus replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Dear Sasa, many thanks for the info . I tried to collect some more infos about that "soldier of fortune" in a high-ranking general's position. King Tomislav Brigade of the HVO, the Bosnian-Croat Army, had been under command of the Croatian-Canadian Brigadier-General Zeljko Glasnovic in the early 1990s during the YU-Wars. "Glasnovic - as a Col.-General - had been the commander for training and military doctrine of the Federation Army of BiH till 2002, resigned and left the Federation Army. Since resignations, departure from the Army, honorable and dishonorable dismissals, firing of officials, arrests and such are not so rare in the Federation, it makes sense that hardly anyone reacts to such news at this point. However, regarding General Glasnovic, it is important to consider his reasons for resignation and leaving the army. Namely, General Glasnovic is a true professional who forged his military skills in the (professional) Canadian armed forces and then as a legionnaire fought in several wars all over the world, including the Gulf War, and then joined the Croatian Army and the Croatian Defense Council (HVO) [bosnian Croat armed forces], and finally led the operation train and equip. Is his resignation motivated by personal dissatisfaction with his status and disputes with the Minister of Defense Mijo Anic?" Complete article about Gen. Glasnovic: http://www.ex-yupress.com/slodal/slodal57.html Does anyone have some additional infos, like: war crimes, etc. ? Best regards Christian
