Paul L Murphy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 A quick question, is it possible to find out the details of a recipient of the Cross of St George from the award number, in the same way that we can find out about Soviet era recipients ? Are these papers available ? Grateful if anyone could provide information in this regard. Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these papers available ? Sorry, Paul, I'm not much help on the "how to" here. But for a start, it looks like it is possible at least in some cases. For example, here's an award for sale where the recipient was identified by serial number: http://collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=20021 I hope someone else can chime in with more info. On a side note, I wonder if Tsarist era decorations ever show up on archival documents for Soviet awards. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
