Wow!

This raises a few interesting questions. First, are they both classes of the order or just one? And how many of each was he awarded? Second, with the wide variety of the Soviet award system, how did he get 5 of the same medal? Finally, at what point is something like this more heroic than, say, a Hero of the Soviet Union? I would say there comes a point where, regardless of what the decorations mean technically, the message is clear.
