Soviet Newest Soviet Document sets

[Hauptmann]

Hi all,

I've had a request to post these in a separate thread so here goes.

Here's are my latest additions to my Soviet document collection. I'll include the (paraphrased) descriptions of the seller (Zozlo) and also the pictures are his and used with his kind permission. As always any and all comments and translations are most welcome.

First off... my favorite of all of them:

DOCUMENT FOR HIGHEST SOVIET AWARD ?HERO OF SOCIALIST LABOR?.

Congratulation Document For ?Hammer & Sickle Golden Star? Hero Of Socialist Labour Of The USSR.

IT IS HUGE!!!!!! The Dimensions Of The Item Are About 16,93`(43cm) x 12,2`(31cm)!

Awarded To Comrade Petr Mishkin.

And number four... alas the only one of the four sets without a photo of the recipient:

SOVIET HONORARY DIPLOMA ID RUSSIAN DOCUMENT.

USSR ID That Was Used In Soviet Union.

ID Was awarded To Comrade (Mrs.) Olga Kirpichenko (Laureate Of Ukraine SSR State Prize).

It Is Very Rare Diploma That Says Olga`s Portrait Will Be Set On Main Ukraine Glory Avenue!!!!

As You Can See This DIPLOMA Established By Ukraine Presidium Of Ministers Of USSR & Soviet Working Union!!!!!!

I'm wondering if those portraits are still there. If so... if it might be possible to eventually get a photo of the one to match this document set. If any of our members are ever there and would be willing to check and perhaps get such a photo I'd be deeply grateful.

If anyone happens to have more information on these individuals I'd love to learn more. Again any additional information, translations or comments are deeply appreciated!

Update: I just obtained an unissued example of the Ukraine State Prize medal... main thread here:

http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2989...t=0#entry281422

I believe this is the award that was given to Mrs. Kirpichenko (in the last document set) as she was (is?) Laureate Of Ukraine SSR State Prize.

Additional pics of the award are in the linked thread. Just couldn't resist bringing the set and this medal together... I only wish it was the numbered match. That and I also wish/hope that some day I might be able to get a picture of Mrs. Kirpichenko to complete the set. If any of our members goes to the Ukraine and could see if that wall of photos is still there and perhaps get a photo of her picture I'd be very grateful.
