Orders And Medals Of The USSR (Shishkov/Muzalevskij) - Page 2

I have this set of books and find them very useful. The medal variations, in particular, are very nice to have, as well as the photos of the award citations. For the Russian reader, the appendices describing the regulations codifying the postwar practice of giving high orders and medals for years of service is very interesting.

Gentlemen,

Is this book "Orders and Medals of the USSR 1918-1991" by Sergey Shishkov & Mikhail Muzalevsky, still considered a must for a serious Soviet Awards collector, or in the meantime was a better and more accurate reference (in English or at least in Russian AND English) published? If yes, which one? By the way, when was this book published? After PMD's "The Comprehensive Guide", right?

Art, have you bought it in the meantime? What would be your verdict?

Thanks a lot,

Dolf

Dolf,

It was published after PMD. I have both, and I do enjoy these books quite a lot (the English text is very approximative). It is an investment, but I believe a worthwile one.
As far as I know, no other useful global reference has been published since, apart from the Mondvor site. Email me if you want to further discuss details.

Marc,

I also do have PMD's Guide, but I'm looking for more reference books on this subject, eventually containing more detailed and/or more updated info and/or other aspects not covered on PMD's book.
From what I've read here it seems this Shishkov & Muzalevsky's book is also a must for Soviet Awards collectors.
So before moving forward I just wanted to check with the experts on the Forum if there's nothing even better and more recently published that would worth the investment.

Merci,

Dolf

It's a good book to have. Just remember that the information in this book is not up to date, and there are some mistakes in it.

I have these books and am very happy with them.

Best ten-spot I've spent so far this year. ;)

Dear Mr. Inbar,

Are you still interested in Soviet militsry orders? I corresponded with you some years ago concerning "Service to the Motherland 1st class order.

I would like to contact you again.
