Re: war on stamp
A very interesting (and poorly documented) moment indeed. I have seen both Soviet and Mongolian gallantry decorations for that intense border conflict.

Re: war on stamp
I haven't found a Soviet commemorative stamp for this conflict although the soviets did issue over 6000 different stamps between 1917 and 1991. Strangely enough I've been scanning some soviet stamps today.

Re: war on stamp
I know that in the US, unless you focus in on Soviet studies, you won't get even an adequate education regarding the Soviet Union, but just how small was this "little war" to merit a stamp in China, but no mention in nearly any history book written in English?

Re: war on stamp
The conflict over island Damansky is well known in Russia. A song performed by Iosif Kabzon and a poem written by Vladimir Visotskiy have been dedicated to this incident. A documentary on this confrontation is viewable on youtube. Gen. (later Marshal of Armored Troops) Losik gave an order to deploy Grad (Hale) multiple rocket launchers. Forum members can imagine what this more modern version of Katyusha did to its opponents :) To my knowledge, Damansky Island conflict was the last battle for which Order of Glory was awarded. A list of decorations:
HSU Colonel Leonov (posthumously) Sr Ltn Strelnikov (posthumously) Jun Sgt Orehov (posthumously) Sr Ltn Bubenin Jun Sgt Babansky 3 - Lenin 10 — Red Banner 31 — Red Star 10 — Glory 3 63 — For Bravery 31 — CSM Bubenin became the first commander of KGB's anti-terrorist group ALPHA! |

Re: war on stamp
Simon,
Thank you for the information. I remember an old conversation in which I did say that OG were issued for conflicts later than WW2, as I did know that some were issued for the Demansky Island incident, but I was very flately rebuked then :rolleyes: By the way, do you know of any concrete source in which these appear?

Re: war on stamp
Do you have any numbers on the numbered orders? As those of us with 1969 issued orders will most likely have catch-ups and not one of the few dozen for this combat operation.
