    An interesting pic...


    Recommended Posts

    An interesting pic about how to wear orders and medals (Soviet and Russians)...

    This pic shows Vladimir Putin with Red Army veterans of WW2, at the Bolshoi theater, on 8 May 2005, on the occasion of the celebrations of the 60 years of the end of WW2.

    Even if Putin is there, interesting to notice :

    The man in civil clothes, on the left of the pic, has his own way to wear his medals (quite classical).

    The second man on the left (right to Putin) has a more conventional way to wear them. But, if you carefully look at them, you will notice on the last row (the bottom one) some Umatalova medals. These are "unofficial" and have been forbidden by the Russian Government.

    You will notice from left to right : 2nd medal : Marshal Zhukov Centenary Medal, 4th medal : Medal for 80th Anniversary of the Soviet Armed Forces... ;)

    The third man (left to Putin) has also his own order to wear them, with the long service medal on first place. Interesting to notice the place of the Order of Friendship of People and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. This is not an unusual way to wear the orders, on the top of the medals.

    Etc, etc...

    A nice and interesting pic. :D
