Post-GPW award system
Does anyone know about post-GPW awarding system?
Pre-war, for military folks there was the Lenin, RB, RS, BM, and CSM hierarchy, discounting labor awards. Then, the war introduced the commander awards (Suvorov through Nevsky), Order of Victory, Order of the Patriotic War, the Order of Glory, and Nakhimov and Ushakov medals. Then, post-war, the Order of Victory and commander awards were granted (i.e. Hungary, Czechoslovakia invasions, Cold War exercises and Brezhnev excesses), as well as the Nakhimov and Ushakov medals. Also post-war they introduced the "crab" and several more badges to presumably cover "holes" in the award system. I guess my question is why weren't Orders of the Patriotic War and Orders of Glory NOT awarded for post-war actions (I'm not including retroactive awards for deeds/wounding from the GPW), especially if commander awards (i.e. Kutuzov and Nevsky) were granted? I guess the Order of the Patriotic War wasn't awarded due to it's name, but what about the Order of Glory? |
