    Question about badge No 617. I have a database of Lenin recipients with about a thousand named. For badge 617 I have listed A.B. Vasenko, builder of an aerostat that set an altitude record. He and the pilot and another physicist on the flight died and were supposedly the first three posthumous recipient of the Order of Lenin. (Durov: Order of Lenin, Order (Project) of Stalin, page 24)

    But I did not have badge No. 380 in my database. Also, would you know recipients of badge Nos. 403 or 615. I have all around Mr. 615 but who got the badge just before the posthumous awards?

    Thanks for the great pictures.

    JapanX/Nick thanks for the prompt reply. I have reviewed the web link that you provided and all of my known Lenin recipients match except 616-618. It appears likely that Durov jumped to conclusions that the posthumous Lenin Cavaliers actually received their medals. That very question was asked on another web page that I browse and was left unanswered. I need at least two sources or one document to answer there.

    But, regarding the other numbers, 308; that was really reference to the documentation you provided to No 380 which I did not have. (THANKS)

    Re. No 615 I have a great copy. If they had not made one mistake it would be a fake. Real Silver, Real Gold Hammer and Sickle, and so on. But the ring around the profile was laid on a millimeter off so it was a failure that I got to buy for $100 US instead of who knows what price if they had succeeded in a fake.

    Re No. 403. Who was awarded a Lenin order BEFORE Tukhashevsky (Lenin No. 434), my hero! (Or Gamarnik - No 433) I would like to know, Farmer or whatever, I would like to know who beat out Tukhashevsky. Impressive! He was an early cavalier.

    Sorry about the last photo only being a medal and not a recipient, but I don't know who he is, but further he apparently survived the purges. Can the researchers identify recipients (if civilian) from this early an era? If so, who do I need to contact?

    Meanwhile to show actual recipients, you may have seen this recipient of Lenin No. 93 six or seven years ago in the New York Auction. I can't find my copy to verify.

    I believe they can.

    But these "researches" (always found this term quite rediculous :lol:) usually take money for "researching" ;)

    Gents,

    JapanX raises a good point. Something along the lines of Archival Records Retrieval Specialist (ARRS) would be more accurate.

    An update to identify Cavalier No 403 for the Order of Lenin (See previous Post No. 56)(Platinum Head replacement for a Tractor Lenin) with the assistance of Ferdinand, we can now identify another early cavalier, who appropriately was a Shock Worker/Team Leader at the Kharkov/Kharkiv Tractor Plant named for Ordzhonikidze. See below for the original in Russian and following the Google translation.

    Ленин № 403 – Питель Вера Федоровна, ударница шишельница литейного цеха; за высокие ударные темпы работы в литейном цехе завода. Вручен 21.10.32 по Постановлению ЦИК от 23 мая 1932 г. «О награждении орденом Ленина Харьковского тракторного завода им. Серго Орджоникидзе и отдельных работников этого завода и занесении на доску почета, организаторов строительства завода». За особо выдающиеся заслуги руководителей и рабочих Харьковского тракторного завода имени Серго Орджоникидзе по быстрому освоению производственного процесса и доведение выпуска тракторов в более короткий срок против, плана до 100 тракторов в день.

    Lenin number 403 - Pytel, Vera Fedorovna Udarnitsa shishelnitsa foundry; for high impact pace of work in the foundry plant. Handing on 21/10/32 CEC regulations from May 23, 1932 "On awarding the Order of Lenin Kharkov tractor plant.

"For meritorious service managers and workers of the Kharkov Tractor Plant named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze rapid development of manufacturing process and bring the production of tractors in a shorter period against the plan to 100 tractors a day.
