Christian Zulus Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 A nice photo of General Victor G. Kulikov from 1976.enjoy.Lieber Waldemar,that's interesting, because I guessed, that Kulikov had been among the very first recipients of the "Motherland" 3cl .... On later photographs he had his "Motherland" 3cl + his (long service) HSU.Best regards Christian

Ulsterman Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 My Gosh, he must have had a reenforced tunic to carry that lot about on him.

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Marc,unfortunately I dont know, something from eastern europe I suppouse.WaldemarSurprisingly it is not! It is the star of the Grand Cross of the Peruvian Cross of Military Merit, Kulikov was awarded in 1972. I was not able to find any images of the star itself, but here is a photo of the Knight Cross, courtesy <a href="http://www.medal-medaille.com/" target="_blank">http://www.medal-medaille.com/</a>.And here are some photos from a conferment ceremony:<a href="http://www.ejercito.mil.pe/prensa/2007/jun...ora_agremil.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ejercito.mil.pe/prensa/2007/jun...ora_agremil.htm</a>Lukasz A humble suggestion to the moderator: perhaps a separate forum for South and Central America (possibly including Mexico as well) would be a nice addition to GMIC.PS: the photo depicts Kulikov as a general of the army. He was promoted to a Marshal of the Soviet Union in 1977. It must have been taken in 1974, because he is already wearing the Romanian Order of 23rd of August he was awarded that year and does not have his Motherland 3rd Class he received the following year.
