Gents,

I would like to add another picture, with a little arty touch, if I may.

Yes, indeed, just four awards were made...

Gent,

Here are the four honoured personalities:

- Bertalan Farkas, the Hungarian cosmonaut,

- Valeriy Kubasov

- Leonid Popov

- Valeriy Ryumin, all three were Soviet cosmonauts.

The first two can be seen in Peter's picture above.
