Christian Zulus Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Dear Ed,if your group is complete - no medals (!) -, it would point to a more "artistic" branch of occupation.Pianists, actors, painters, scientists usually did not receive labour-medals, but started with the BoH or RBL - my humble theory .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondvor Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Pianists, actors, painters, scientists usually did not receive labour-medals, but started with the BoH or RBL - my humble theory .ChristianSame holds true for workers and collective farmers. I've seen many complete groups for those people, where the first award was Lenin, RBL or BH order. Lots of them received HSL title without previously being awarded with any other order or medal. Most often that had happened in the first half of 1950th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most often that had happened in the first half of 1950th.Dear Andrew,many thanks for your expertise .A prominent case fits into that scheme:Young Gorbacev received his first Soviet Award at the age of about 17 years for helping his father with the harvest at a large collective farm in Southern Russia. It had been an excellent harvest. The father - head of the collective farm - got a Lenin and the son - young Gorbacev - received a RBL (!).So, a RBL had been Gorbacev's very first Soviet Award.I assume, that his early RBL helped him a lot in his career at university & communist youth .Best regards ChristianBTW: Maybe without that RBL in young years the CCCP would be still alive .

Mondvor Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 You are right, Christian. Gorbachev had received RBL # 88292 by the Decree from April 16, 1949 for harvesting 8853,14 centners (1 centner = 100 kilograms) during 20 working days. He was operating assistant on combine harvester "Stalinets-6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew received only RBs and no HSUs with the argument, that it had not been a heroic deed within a war ."National Geographic" made a great movie about that incident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-19:_The_Widowmaker . There is now a special edition DVD-set at the market with a extra bonus-DVD, which contains comprehensive documentations and interviews: http://www.amazon.de/K-19-Showdown-Tiefe-S...1938&sr=1-2Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondvor Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Oh yes, I've seen "The widowmaker" three years ago. It is a great movie with nice casting (Harrison Ford is very good) and everything looks real except some dialoges. Russians do not talk that way, that was little bit weird. But overall it is a "must see" movie.Sorry for off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
