You misunderstood. RUSSIAN IMPERIAL AWARDS WERE NOT ALLOWED! It was even dangerous and risky to wear them, especially if they were officer’s awards. Often people tried to hide the fact they served as officers in imperial army. They were considered to be potential hidden enemies, because most of those imperial officers fought against Bolsheviks during Civil war. Only award that was tolerated (unofficially, not by regulations) was soldier St. Cross and was wearied mostly by soldiers not by high rank officers of Soviet Army even if they received them for World War I. Ribbons for such awards did exist because regulation didn’t allow to wear them.

Those orders are:
1.HSU, Order of Lenin, 4orders of the red banner, Orders of Suvorov, Kutozov, Khmelnitski - among other - but what he have on his neck? - Hero Of Yugoslavia
2. And last: what is the order on his pocket???? – Mongolian Order for Military Valor
