Moscow's Hero star.

Why does the ribbon on Moscow's HSU star look messed with?

That's more of a rhetorical question, as I'm sure none of us have the answer, but doesn't it seem odd that a city's Hero star would have been fingered so much? It doesn't have the normal signs of wear that one would expect, but a LOT of people have fingered it, the ribbon is nearly beat, and you can tell where the screw nut was removed and the ribbon re-sewn at one point.

Odd...Thanks for posting though!

Presumably everyone in the city got to wear it for a day
