    Probably a highly intersting tale running there, back behind the number, and RESEARCH is indicated. If you should live long enough, given recent "research" ressults and turnaround! :banger:

    A nice order, the lowest of the CCCP "Tsarist Heroes" awards to mean much. (I certainly don't count the "Glory".)

    Born 1910. He was a Rifles Battlaion Commander in 1031st Rifles Regiment, 280th Rifles Division.

    The MMM is odd, since that is a long service Ukaz, so he must have had 4 more years of military service.

    Wartime wasn't counted double, so he must have gone back into the army (or MVD?) possibly in construction troops...

    Now that you have his name and Awards Record Card number... it would be worthwhile to ask for his personnel file

    if it can still be copied before the Archives move away to ??????????????? in these bad times and

    then you will know.

    CITATIONS for the Nevsky itself (of course :jumping: ) and for a more complete knowlegde of his service, even citations for the MISSING awards would all be worthwhile to understand his military service.

    Who knows if it will ever again be possible to remember wartime alliances.....
