Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
That PRB Order Of 9-9-44 1st Class really dwarfs the standard size Soviet Medals.... What would the four awards after it be?

Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
Last time I was in the KGB Museum in Moscow his tunic was on display, under glass. I took a photo of it and I think it is in another thread.

Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
I think (I may of course be wrong) this is the uniform Doug means:
http://soviet-awards.com/forum/sovie...html#post21662 It is not Fedortjuk, but one of his KGB fellows, Viktor Chebrikov. |

Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
Thanks Patrick. Good find.:thumbsup This is only a guess, but with a few exceptions, KGB generals were appointed to the KGB after serving elsewhere (Red Army mostly) and thus the red piping. I've only seen black and white photos of KGB generals that were straight line agency men like Oleg Kalugin.
Just guessing, Marc - so I can't "elaborate" on the above.:chuckle Phillip

Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
Is this man in the uniform of the KGB? KGB generals wore uniforms with red piping, army type, but MVD generals wore the brick-red piping. I think we have here a brick-red piping, consistent with the years of service of this gentleman (KGB chairman in 82, army general in 82, minister of the interior from 82 to 86).

Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
He became an army general (the rank he wear on the picture) sometime in 1982 and in december 82, he became soviet interior minister.
Федорчук, Виталий Васильевич — Википедия It seems to me that the picture was taken during his time as MVD boss (that kind of picture in full attire were more frequent in MVD than KGB). May be an uniform just like this: Щёлоков, Николай Анисимович — Википедия |
