Re: Official Chernobyl awards
Eric,
I am a bit confused here. Were those awards you presented (Orders "For Courage" and medal "For rescue") specifically presented in relation to Chernobyl? Another small point, the "medal" for Chernobyl cleanup is in fact a badge ("знак"). Marc |

Re: Official Chernobyl awards
I have no idea how many of those Badges were made but they are everywhere. Were the powers that be expecting tens of millions to "liquidate"?

Re: Official Chernobyl awards
Re the small Chernobyl badge, how easy is it to come across the document for these? I see the badge itself everywhere but no docs?
If anyone has a spare, let me know! Tom |

Re: Official Chernobyl awards
Although they were supposed to be around 500,000 awarded the documents can be very difficult to find. You can pick up the Badges by the dozen but the documents (blank or filled in) can be a struggle. I've not got one yet.

Re: Official Chernobyl awards
A couple of points...

Marc, I believe they were, although that wasn't at all made clear. I think I've seen at least two of them elsewhere. Eric, are they currently in your collection? Could you share the stories behind them please? Last edited by CtahhR; 01-01-2013 at 02:12 PM. |

The awards "For Courage" and medal "For rescue" were issued specifically for Chernobyl - 100% Cnernobyl clean up is a badge - I agree :D, but the OFFICIAL badge :D:D |
