How To Store And Display Awards.

Captain Ramius, of course, already had the order of lenin (evident on ribbon bar from publicity still). What Dr. Petrov should have said was "You will be named a hero of the soviet union for this!" But I guess that doesn't flow as well when you are about to climb into a rubber raft and your lips are cold.

So let's take a look at his rack. Order of lenin and, ironically, order october revolution make sense. Then an Ushakov and then...order glory + victory of germany? And then some odd and undecipherable awards finishing with two capture of Berlin medals. The Captain led an interesting life before he defected.
Ok, well maybe they are irreproachable service medals but they sure look like capture berlin.
Actually the one on the second to bottom row looks like a US prisoner of war ribbon. I'm sure there's a story behind that!
