Christian Zulus Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 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 Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 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 , who started earlier with their own GMIC-sections.Many thanks to all contributors and to our native experts .Communist Yugoslavian Awards are highly interesting:- great designs & well manufactured- low number of issued items- still very moderate prices at the marketBest regards ChristianOver 700 postings & almost 8.000 views at GMIC-Yugoslavia Gentlemen,our section is developing at a very, very, very rapid pace .A plus of 200 postings & 2.000 views in only 2 (two) weeks, that's incredible .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 .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugo Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Christian... do they pay you for this propaganda? Regards, Filip Edited June 4, 2007 by Drugo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Christian... do they pay you for this propaganda? 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 .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugo Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 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! 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...)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Albanian Awards are much more researched:rolleyes: .I guess everything is relative in phaleristics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 GMIC-YU already #3 at the Communist-Era-Section at GMIC 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 .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 Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Well done, everyone! 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!

Dear Bryan,you brought the problem to the point .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 .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
