Soviet Are soviet medals fashionable?

[Bryan]

As seen on a publicity in Hong Kong 2 weeks ago. It seems that Soviet awards are quite fashionable.

Sorry I didn't took a picture of the whole publicity. The OGPW catched my attention.

Hi Bryan,

What was the topic of the advertising ?

Cheers.

I was thinking the same thing-- what are they "selling?"

I know, breakfast cereal, shoes, vacation condos... whatever it is, I'm SURE the first thing people associate with whatever it is in their minds is the Soviet Order of the Patriotic War! :cheeky:

Is it "fashion" or "nostalgia"? Whether you know what the award is or not, the symbolism would be quite clear.

I have no idea exactly. I couldn't read the text.

It might have been something about fashion or cellphones. I really have no idea.

Anyway, it's not the first time I see Soviet militaria used for advertisement. Maybe somebody that speak Cantonese could help us with the writting on the OGPW.

Good point Ed.
