What was he saving from the Germans in 1936? i just wonder, after years, how much of the story is accurate; if some is and some is not, then its going to be even more difficult to nail down.

I recommend he submit the details for research and get the most definitive answer.

Doug, I'll ask him..Paul, how could he do that without a serial number? Can he just forward this information to the researcher and taking into account how unique the award is, they would be able to find the missing info?

Giving the full name, as precise a date as possible, and the circumstances may bear fruit.

Maybe the year was '46. Would Nikita's wife have had such an influence in getting an OL awarded in 1936?

Re: An Email I received from a visitor, Khruschev awarded Order of Lenin
I was under the impression that Kruschev did not have that much authority in 1936 to be that influental especially since his wife nominated the award. I agree that the date and detail information is sketchy but it seems that given a name and ideas on the date of the award, there might be a hair of a chance. The wife remembers playing with the award, does she know that this is the award in question or another award or awards?

Hi Bogdan,
Sorry, this post was from last year :) I've lost all contact with the person who originally emailed me. Thanks though! Art
