Multinational group
Found this on eBay today. Since I.M. is selling it it most definitely is not a joke.

Looks to me like just the bottom row (with all those silly red ribbons) of what must once have been, before being broken, a very large and very nice group.

Shall I add the items descriptions? That may help.
"Soviet East Block Ribbon Bar with 7 foreign medals including Chinese Korean War related pieces. All medals are original, quality pieces and in excellent condition. Including 1951 Anti-American and Support of North Korea Medal, 1951, issued by the National Committee of Chinese People's Council. Brass, enamel. Red star with gold sunburst and portrait of Mao Tse-tung in the center, reverse shows Chinese writing and date '1951'. Also includes medal of Sino-Soviet Friendship 1953. Gilded brass, enamels. Shows flags of USSR and Peoples Republic of China. Medal was issued to Soviet military and civilian personnel helping the Chinese during the Korean War. Also Commemorative medal of People's Liberation Army probably 1954s. And one medal showing Stalin and Mao together, probably rare because I could not find it in any of my references. Also includes Polish Liberation of Warsaw campaign medal and Polish Medal for Oder - Neisse - Baltic Campaign, March - April 1945 and an East German DDR 20th Anniversary Medal. All medals in excellent condition, perfect enamel on aluminum suspension with generic type red ribbon. Note the red ribbons are not original to the medals but Russian Generals sometimes had their foreign medals mounted in this fashion. Soviet East Block Ribbon Bar with 9 foreign medals. All medals are original, quality pieces and in excellent condition. As may have been worn postwar by a Soviet General. Includes 1) 1945 Polish Medal for Victory and Freedom and 2) Polish Medal for Oder - Neisse - Baltic Campaign, March - April 1945 and 3) a Grunewald Cross in excellent condition. Includes 4) Medal of Sino-Soviet Friendship. Gilded brass, enamels. Shows flags of USSR and Peoples Republic of China. Medal was issued to Soviet military and civilian personnel helping the Chinese during the Korean War. Czech Medals are 5) Medal for 20th Anniversary of Slovak National Uprising of 1944. In brass. Shows a man with PPSh submachine gun, with mountains on the background, and dates "1944-1964". 6) Medal of the Czech Army Abroad, 1939 - 1945. Dark bronze. Issued to Czech volunteers who fought against Germany and Italy alongside the allies. A wreath with vertical sword and Czech lion at the bottom. 7 & 8) 2 different styles of War Cross of 1939-1945. Manufactured in Great Britain during the war and issued by the Czechoslovakian government in exile. Finally, you also get 9) Dukla Pass Campaign Medal. Issued to Soviet soldiers who participated in the battle for this Carpathian mountain pass (on Czechoslovakian - USSR border) in the fall of 1944. Nice! All medals in excellent condition, near perfect enamel on aluminum suspension with generic type red ribbon. Note the red ribbons are not original to the medals but Russian Generals sometimes had their foreign medals mounted in this fashion."
