    Gentlemen,

    our chairman Nick gave us a own section - many thanks to him :beer::jumping: .

    Please do the postings concerning NEW topics in NEW threads, so we can get away from that "monster-thread" :love: .

    Might it be possible, that one of our YU-Experts can try to post a overview catalogue - as in the "other" Soviet forum - about YU-Awards as a pinned thread for our new section - many thanks in advance :cheers: .

    Many thanks to all comrades, who supported the establishing of the Yugoslavia-GMIC-section :beer: .

    Best regards :beer:

    YU-Transitional-Period (1991 - 2000)

    Please post your Communist era Yugoslav subjects in this new area.

    Dear Rick,

    it seems, that there is common sense to include the YU-Awards from the (socialistic) Milosevich-Era (1991 - october 2000) into our YU-section: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...st&p=158466 .

    We might call that period "transitional".

    Why should these - partly rather primitive made - orders & medals be included:

    1) The mint used the old dies and only exchanged the coat of arms or made excellent 1:1 copies of high-end YU-Orders, i.e., two "Orders of Freedom" for 2 generals in 1999.

    2) At the first sight you can recognize them as YU-Awards, despite the fact, that they are rather crude done and look somehow "unfinished". So, from a pure phaleristic view, they have to be included.

    3) Yugoslavia during the transitional period - the Milosevic-years - had been still a country with a somehow "Socialistic-Character".

    4) Due to the fact, that the period 1991 - 2000 covers the four (4) Yugoslavian wars, we might get some orders and medals with truly interesting battle citations. It had been Milosevic's habit to focus the confering of orders & medals to the military. So, most of the awards from the transitional period have been given for military deeds and GMIC is a forum for Military ;) .

    Just my arguments.

    Best regards :beer:

    Gentlemen,

    it seems, that Yugoslavia - as a own GMIC-section - is developing at a very rapid pace and that we are the fastest growing section at GMIC :jumping: .

    It also seems, that GMIC-Yugoslavia attracted some new and recent members of the "Gentleman's Military Interest Club" :D .

    Many thanks to the great contributions all of you have done, for your special interest in the phaleristic world of communist Yugoslavia and again many thanks to Chairman Nick, who installed a own GMIC-section :cheers: .

    Gentlemen,

    our section is developing at a very, very, very rapid pace :D .

    A plus of 200 postings & 2.000 views in only 2 (two) weeks, that's incredible :love: .

    I also think, that GMIC-Yugoslavia is one of the best structured and organized sections, which offers comprehensive informations about the subject.

    Many thanks to all contributors and to our native experts :cheers: .

    Gentlemen,

    GMIC-Yugoslavia has right now over 900 postings and more than 10.300 views.

    That's much more, than GMIC-Albania & GMIC-Cuba together :D , who started earlier with their own GMIC-sections.

    Many thanks to all contributors and to our native experts :cheers: .

    Communist Yugoslavian Awards are highly interesting:

    - great designs & well manufactured

    - low number of issued items

    - still very moderate prices at the market

    Best regards :beer:

    Christian... do they pay you for this propaganda? :lol::D:P

    Not at all, Filip ;) , but I think, it is still neccessary to make some propaganda for YU-Awards - i.e. Soviet & Mongolian Awards are ranking in the interest still far above our YU-Awards.

    The larger the YU-collectors-community will be, the more informations we will get here in the GMIC-section.

    Well, YU-Awards are still a rather "white spot" on the map of phaleristics :( .

    Mongolian & Albanian Awards are much more researched, as Ed tells, as YU-Awards :rolleyes: .

    Best regards :beer:

    I love to collect low-interesting militaria (not only medals), because as a student now I coudln't have some nice pieces that I managed to get for a few euros, or even for free! :P

    So, ehm ehm, for those of you who don't collect Yugoslavian medals, don't trust Christian, these pieces are really poorly made and antiaesthetic..................... believe me! Do NOT buy your first piece (because I fear it wouldn't be the last...)! :D

    Albanian Awards are much more researched:rolleyes: .

    I guess everything is relative in phaleristics :lol:

    Gentlemen,

    I am not getting paid for making propaganda, but I just want to remark, that GMIC-YU has already reached the benchmark of 1.000 postings and more than 15.000 views.

    Many thanks to all contributors :cheers: .

    :jumping:GMIC-YU already #3 at the Communist-Era-Section at GMIC :jumping:

    Gentlemen,

    Yugoslavia is not only the fastest growing section at GMIC, but already #3 - in terms of postings - at the Communist-Era-Section at GMIC :D .

    Yugoslavia just surpassed the DDR-section (GDR) and is now #3 behind Mongolia and the Soviet Union.

    In my opinion, that "ranking" represents also the "phaleristic" quality of orders & medals from these 3 states of the past, as I already mentioned at some other threads: CCCP offers the most interesting items and groups (and the most expensive ones :( ), then I would rank Mongolia, due to the sheer beauty of the majority of their awards and on third place I would rank Yugoslavia. That is now also documented by the interest of the GMIC-members, if you take the number of postings into account.

    Best regards :beer:

    Well done, everyone! :beer:

    Despite the absence of a good, English-language reference book, a great deal of information has been brought together here. We just need - to catch up with Mongolia and Albania -- THAT BOOK?!

    And I think we may be close?? Please????

    I refuse to see it as a contest -- that's be too competitive, right? -- but we do need to recognise when we have done well!

    I think we need an active moderator on the Yugoslavian board to make some cleaning of the double posting and so on. If we had an active moderator that could make some cleaning on this section, that would be very nice! :rolleyes:

    Dear Bryan,

    you brought the problem to the point :cheers: .

    The fact is, that GMIC-YU produced a bit of a mess in some topics :( .

    It might be a good job for us (and for you) to become our CLUB HOST :love: .

    Was Yugoslavia a communist country? Will also edit to ask what it had to do with the Soviet Union?

    Bizzarre.

    Did'nt seem like it when I was there in the late 80's.
