Nice, thanks Alex!

Hi Ed , thanks for the comment. I am glad to post so that they can be seen by others. I suspect that some of them may well be quite rare as original posters.

Thank you for sharing your collection. They are just terrific. I've been looking for several years and never found an original. Do you mean they were part of an exhibit which you later acquired? If so, I think you were very lucky. Lucky is good.

Hi, No I'm sorry I don't own the pictures but they were from a BBC Web site link, I think this is the one. ( I'm going from memory.)

Dear Alex,

many thanks for showing the posters to us and for the link .

The poster in your post #3 is interesting, because the comrades show non-military uniforms.

I guess these are uniforms of coal miners and the comrades are receiving their HSLs from Stalin.

The comrade shaking hands with Stalin might have on his right chest the badge "Honored Coal Miner", which was instituted in 1948 .

I showed such a badge (late version) in that thread: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17942

The orders & medals we can see on the comrade with Stalin are:

- HSL

- Lenin

- RBL

- Medal for Reconstruction of the Coal Mines of Donbass http://www.collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=17186

Hi Christian, that's interesting as I never thought that they may be non military uniforms. Unfortunately soviet isn't my strongest point.

Dear Alex,

such uniforms are rather rare to see at official posters or photographs - and these comrades didn't wear their uniforms at work .

Best regards
