Hauptmann Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi Doc,Veeeeeeery nice! Especially the first one... love the Aurora on the reverse and the enamel on the front! My favorite part about the second one funny enough is the ribbon! Very colorful.Great pieces! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris S Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I found these some years ago ...5 I think...nice and graphic but typical of a mass produced medal which means nothing (my opinion).Funny thing is you don't see them that often now and could be quite hard to find...Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RedThreat Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Two KGB types with that nasty chap beria on one....indicative of how out of step these medals are...ChrisChris,I think it's Felix Derzhinsky, the first head of ChK.Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Chris,I think it's Felix Derzhinsky, the first head of ChK.SimonI agree Chris, that's definitely him. Beria was clean shaven, kind of looked a bit like Bob Hoskins who I believe played him in a movie along the way. Had those little metal framed glasses if I remember correctly. Beria was a real nasty if ever there was one. Stalin's lap dog! An awful beast who got what was coming to him. At least some folks in the General staff and Politburo had some good taste and sense of justice in them.Don't know why I didn't catch this the other night as I saw all these then. My mind was elsewhere I guess. Thanks Simon for picking up on this one... good catch! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Gentlemen,Yes, that is definitely Felix Dzerzhinski. Known as ?Iron Felix?, he can be considered to be the founder of the communist secret police. Such a medal would make sense as he was always one of the favorite communist icons. There are numerous badges and pins that commemorate his life and death. Beria? Never! Too twisted, even for that bunch. Bob Hoskins stole the show with his portrayal of Beria in a film called ?The Inner Circle?; a little known film which I highly recommend to anyone even if only vaguely interested in The Stalinist period.Best wishes,Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inner Circle (1991)... great film! Highly recommend it. Also Stalin with Robert Duvall (1992).Also, there's a great movie... a comedy... a bit offbeat though but great... called Children of the Revolution. It explains how Stalin "really" died.
