JapanX Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Ok. Now something absolutely new. As we know two divisions. Standing lion = military Incumbent lion = civil Foreigners were awarded only with civil division on green ribbon. Now we have firm evidence that this rule doesn`t hold water (unfortunately the name of this cavalier is unknown to me) The lion is standing!

JapanX Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 And this Gent is not alone. I was able to find better photo of Alexander Vasilievich Kritzkyi (presumably) The sash for his 1st class is obviously not green and his Lion is a standing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think that at one point the Russian military and the Persian military were so intertwined due to strong economic and military relationships, that Russians received standing Lion and Sun as well, and were treated as Persian military personnel. Whole brigades of Russian military were stationed in Persia. Russia has always had strong and interesting relationships with Persia and Iran. The Russian made Lion and Sun were abundant and beautiful, especially the jeweled ones. I just wish they were easier to acquire. Great thread Nick, thanks for all this documentation of the Russian history with the Persian Lion and Sun order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
