Soviet Order of Labor Glory

[Ed_Haynes]

OK, OK, these aren't for killing fascists and, therefore, lack some of the excited interest of the military awards! But I maintain that they, too, are an important part of the everyday, pragmatic, "normal" reality of the CCCP.

A pair to Yury Vol'vin:

Order of Labor Glory, 2nd class - 42440

Order of Labor Glory, 3rd class, var. 2 - 356334

Ed,

Those are very nice!!! I have yet to add them to my collection. I have to finish buying the Polish ODMs Doc Wes has on hold for me. Then I can start adding gems like these.

[order_of_victory]

I Curently have a 2nd Class and two 3rd Class all three with docs but issued to different people. My second 3rd class is currently for sale on ebay!

2nd Class No. 31385

3rd Class No. 106217

Here are some pics of the second class

[Guest Darrell]

Well I also have a clunky 3rd Class, but not documented

ED: Your Labor Glory guy was Yury Andreevich Vol'vin. My generation of Russian-students was taught to use an apostrophe to indicate the little aspiration squigglies that aren't real letters, to indicate that they are there. "Volvin" in this instance would not indicate the Cyrillic spelling.

But I'm a dinosaur, so I don't know what the current fashion in transliteration is.

Guys, These are very nice indeed!! I'll soon have them in my collection. In the mean time I'll drool over yours!!!

A combination:

I don't normally collect civil awards, but I have a weakness for the individual lettered "C" "C" "C" "P" Badges of Honor.

[Guest Rick Research]

Maybe I should post the reverses in the OBH thread, just to be fair!

[attachmentid=36435]

Both to the same female Comrade

[attachmentid=36436]

[Guest Rick Research]

First Comrade Gornyak got the OBH in 1966 at the beginning of the tidal wave of those awards in 1966-67, and then again, a mass flood Labor Glory 3rd:

This is a 1957 edition book first used in 1966 and re-used in 1978.

Beautiful grouping Rick!
