Soviet Soviet Soldiers... A photo...

[IrishGunner]

No idea what's going on here... Looks like the 1950s/60s. Can't identify any of the badges or ribbons.

Looks like a mix of railroad personnel, conscripts, and regular army officers....interesting.

Rick, please scan this photo again (in maximum possible resolution).

Then cut from original scan awards of every man (like I did it in this thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/55130-japanese-officers-with-chinese-manchukuo-and-nanjing-government-awards/page-3)

Then post these cuttings.

I think it will be possible to identify some of these badges.
