Surely no one can argue with the statement that high ranking Soviet parade uniforms were the most awesomw any country has ever possesed and will take a lot to be beaten.

Another question I have is what was the reasoning behind changing the wearing of medals underneath the lapel to being worn on the breast? Surely this was uniqiuely Soviet and a tradition I think they should have stuck with rather than adopting the western traditon. Also from a practical point of view you could get more medals on the uniform when worn in this way! Any thoughts???

Tale out your books, count the awards and use the calculator....

BTW, Ustinov had 11 orders of Lenin - that's more than 300 Grams of gold....

Bazanov,

The first one is a propaganda poster about the October Revolution, piece, etc.; I have no idea what the second one is, it's probably from one of the Baltic States and is not in Russian, could be an election poster; the third one is from the serie of information posters abut WWII heroes, in this case a lady, who was a full Cavalier of the Order of Glory.

Bazanov,

The second is an election poster for Arnold Veimer, for election to Supreme Soviet of USSR, from Rakvere, Estonia. He was Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars
28 Sep 1944 - 25 Mar 1946 Arnold Veimer (b. 1903 - d. 1977)
and
Chairmen of the Council of Ministers
25 Mar 1946 - 29 Mar 1951 Arnold Veimer
He seems to be one of the primary Estonians that helped the Soviets take over, and is considered a traitor by Estonians today, but interestingly enough, there is still an Estonian government marine research ship named after him.

Mostly awards issued by the central Committee of the Komsomol.

I purchased this poster few months ago. Don't know if it's original or not, it sure looks original to me. The poster was made by one of the leading Soviet poster Caricaturist's Victor Deni. One of the first Soviet Posters of WW2.

Comments are welcome and greatly appreciated.

Looks OK from what I can see, but you really should scan it because it is hard to judge with all the shine.

Regardless, it is rather amusing.:)
