    10. The Hero of Soviet Union, Polkovnik (Colonel) Akulov P.G.

    Col. Akulov has a War Cross, Czech, WW2, a Polish Virtuti Militari Cross, 3th class (seems silvered), and a Polish LS&GC medal (10-or 20 years service, don?t see if gold or silver), strange to a russian... Nice combination.

    Great photo

    With the dark photo the ribbon is the cue. Of course you has reason: but see as I ?ve say before...

    Anyway the seniority medal for service to the polish republic was a pre-communist award, restaured in 1998, I think...

    regards

    Roman,

    Terrific Pictures! The depth of field (detail) in some is amazing,

    not to mention the subject matter.

    Please post more whenever they come along and thank you for sharing, :cheers:

    Is that a US Silver or Bronze Star he's wearing at the bottom?

    EXCELLENT selections again-- so many interesting things it is difficult to pick out which are the MOST interesting! :cheers:

    The air force Lieutenant in #39 with the French Croix de Guerre is wearing a VERY strangely tailored uniform indeed.

    And the last fellow above, #40 with the "egg" --- KGB or MVD?

    Out of probably almost 300 Soviet portrait photos I have, maybe 10 are as nice as yours. :(

    But here is one with the same Uzbek Order of the Red Banner of Labor-- awarded to him in 1928:

    Major General of Naval Aviation Fedor Grigorievich Korobkov (1898-1942), taken some time between 1938 and when he was blown up at Sevastapol in 1942--

    closer on awards

    name on the back, but I don't know if this is his autograph, or somebody else wrote his name:

    If you lived in Russia at you would be more portraits.

    In my collection more than 2000 portraits, but I collect only portraits of military men which lived in my city.

    At me as it is a lot of doubles, but not all so are good as a portrait of general Korobkov.

    :cheers:
