That's number three! So far only two officers were known to have received six Red Stars: Lt. Col. Vasily Vasilyevich Salantyev and Col. Pyotr Petrovich Panchenko.

Yep.

According to this source http://ww2awards.info/sssr/orden_krasnoy_zvezdi.html

Lt. Col. Vasily Vasilyevich Silantyev [Силантьев].

Two of his six were longevity awards

By the way, do we have their photos?

Heck, I only own six RS. :)

Those are beyond amazing. I am sure that the first one got a little frustrated that he could not break the ORS ceiling.

And there appears to be a fourth one, Colonel Filipp Petrovich Onopriyenko (1919-2005), a pilot.

VERY nice post and follow-ups and very interesting. I think the most any Georgian was awarded was four, all were combat (a pilot), and I own that group, ex-Tbilisi Museum of the Revolution. I think I posted it here, sometime in the distant past. According to the ex-director of the museum, he was supposed to get an HSU but Stalin notoriously hated Georgians and denied it, so they gave him a fourth Red Star. Just a story and I can't support it, but I tend to believe it. But SIX? Wow.

Some really amazing and rare things you've got from this museum Chuck!

... Stalin notoriously hated Georgians ...

Quite lively imagination this ex-director had
