Bob Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Nice document on the outside, but for what?
Ferdinand Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 close up translation anyone? This is a certificate stating that Major General Suuryn Baldan, who finished a complete course at the V.M. Molotov Military Academy for the Rear and Supplies with diploma nr. 598970 in 1941, is allowed to wear an academy badge for attending and finishing this course, in accordance with decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 15 November 1950 and 8 April 1954. the document is signed by the academy head, Lieutenant General Milovsky, and dated 3 August 1955. The unknown medal This is the 1939 Khalkhin Gol Medal.

fjcp Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 HI Bob, If you could post or send me some bigger scans I might be able to help. The doc in Post 12 must be relatively important since it has Choibalsan's signature on it... Cheers JC

Bob Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Was just in touch with my "researcher" (who used to be a great dealer in soviet awards!) First pass didn't show up anything in the archives:( Second pass managed to uncover a copy of the edict (what that means, have to wait and see... the proclamation which specifies that a certain number of Mongolians will be receiving Order of Red Star for reasons xyz?). Possibly also interesting for some of the other Mongolian red star awardees mentioned here on the site. Third pass still underway with hopes still alive to find more. I'm excited like a little boy before Xmas at what might come:) Will post scans here once available of course!
Bob Posted November 14, 2009 Author Posted November 14, 2009 Just got word from the researcher. Only in the end the Ukaz was found. A multi page document with lots of names and indication of Soviet awards given to them. Will be able to post it tomorrow evening when I'm back from Riga. Am also having it translated. Should be very interesting as it also mentions Order of Lenin, Order of October Revolution, etc. - hopefully it is a list of awards to Mongolians only and this may provide a very nice bit of background to our forum!
Bob Posted November 14, 2009 Author Posted November 14, 2009 Two seperate groups appear to be interlinked... more news soon! http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36164&st=0
Bob Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) 8 pages of scans... indicating: - 4 order of lenins - 27 order of october revolution - 145 order of red star - 32 combat (?) medals (have to check in the book, my russian isn't good) Awarded in 1971. Gives an intro as to why these were awarded (in general) and lists the name / "job title" of each recipient. Suspect (without translation still) that these were all awarded for an anniversary in 1971. Unfortunately i have 8 pages of scans... but the page nr's are "front page", 3-4-5-6-7-8 and then 14... So i suspect the nr of awarded medals is much higher (and potentially missing other medal names) while there may also be (missing page 2) some october revolutions (and potentially other high orders? e.g. red banner?) missing in the documentation that I've received. scans + translations to follow EDIT: the 27 order of october revolution is probably incorrect as a page is missing which supposedly is not mongolia related, therefore the first entries on page 3 probably do not relate to (mongolian) october revolution awardees. Again, trying to get the missing page for completeness/confirmation purposes. Edited November 16, 2009 by Bob
Bob Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 8 pages of scans... here is the first one. Clearly referring to 4 orders of lenin and 7 orders of the october revolution; my memory had failed me and this doc does not refer to Sodnom Darja (who had received a Soviet Order of Red Banner, i have it incl. documentation in another thread ). translation pending with a friend
Bob Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 Second scan i have is actually page 3 - supposedly page 2 did not contain Mongolians (I'm still trying to get that page as it may still be of interest). This then probably means the top 20 names are not additional Mongolian recipients of the October Revolution order (or does somebody recognize Mongolian names after all?). It does refer to 10 Order of Red Star recipients. More pages to follow on this though.
Bob Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 Page 4 - additional 31 red star recipients
