slava1stclass Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Gents, A great photo of triple Order of Alexander Nevskiy winner Lt Col Nikolay Leontyevich Nevskiy. He commanded the 818th Artillery Regiment, 223rd Rifle Division. He is one of two known triple Nevskiy winners. Note that he was also awarded the U.S. Army Legion of Merit in the degree of Legionnaire.

tonytdyagain Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why wouldn't he have been awarded a higher level award with that much bling already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have no idea. Maybe he did not meet the criteria? Maybe the awards were "politically" driven? Perhaps a combo of both? I can tell you that this is one heck of a grouping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Paul, you might be right with your theory - maybe he hadn't been such an eager communist. On the tunic of a commander in such position, you usually see 3rd classes of Suvorov and/or Kutuzov. A Newsky is more common for commanders on lower levels. Maybe - due to the fact, that our commander IS a Nevsky - he personally wanted the Nevskys instead of the Suvorovs or Kutzuovs: Lt Col Nevsky with 3 orders of Nevsky Without having all the documents and papers from the military archive you can't really tell, what might have been reason for the series of 3 Nevskys. All the best Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It would be cool if we had a name, with archival research being as obtainable as it is now, we could find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
