    Here is the question:

    I was part of Lenin?s first government. He didn?t hold it against me that I was a Menshevik before I became a Bolshevik in 1914. Later I made a career as a diplomat. I went to Mexico and the Scandinavian countries.

    The state awarded me the order of Lenin and Red Banner of labour (twice).

    Who am I?

    Not too hard nut to crack I hope...

    /Kim

    Christophe I think it could be the Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle or possibly the Norwegian order of St Olav. I know she had both.

    If you need more clues let me know :D

    Order of Victory

    You're kidding, right? Not even a guess so far suggests that we just might need another clue or two.

    I thought maybe this is a detail from a Civil War monument. I went to a couple of books that show quite a few monuments but I definitely couldn't find this one.

    Where's Ed when you really need him? He probably just visited it.

    Actually, I am in New Delhi. Have not spotted it here. :P

    Another week and a few days before Moscow and Ulanbaatar.

    Right a clue........

    The artist was born in 02/07/1893. In 1908 he went to art school in Odessa and after serving in he war graduated art school in Petrograd in 1925.

    Heres a another scan of the momunet, enjoy.

    (Iam spoiling you now ;) )

    Would it be a monument in the glory of Stalin ?

    The manner they are looking at someone, with offerings... :P

    And since this monument apparently does not exist anymore; maybe my theory... :rolleyes:
