Guest Rick Research Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 This is a very basic question: why did SOME Comrades get SOME jubilee awards, and NOT others? All of them seem to be (as we say here) common as dirt-- and yet some groups to the most Exalted Of Comrades do not have them. My very limited Bulgarian references (Vesely Denkov's 2001 catalog etc) simply LIST the awards. If anything, they ALL have some basic statement about being "for building Socialism" blah blah blah that EXPLAIN... nothing. Two examples here of confusing "breathing on the day" medals: On the left, 1876-1976 uprising commemorative. I have yet to see one of these in any documented group. Who got them-- and why? Not one single military, MVR, or KDS group we have yet seen has one. On the right: Georgi Dimitrov 90th birthday 1882-1972. It appears as if every adult Bulgarian got the 100th in 1982-- and yet some of the Very Exalted Comrades Indeed whose groups we have seen did NOT get THIS medal. Why? Rank was not an issue. These are, again, "dirt common." So WHY did some people get this while others did not? :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
