"Orders of Gone Country"

Simon · 04-08-2010, 03:29 PM

Russian TV produced a documentary series "Orders of Gone Country" dedicated to orders of USSR. Each episode tells history of one order. I watched order of Kutuzov episode and learned several interesting, little-known facts. Though, by statute, Kutuzov I class was to be awarded to front and army commanders, a senior lieutenant who arrested Gen. Vlasov was given this order. Marshal Tolbuhin was responsible for awarding American general Patton with Kutuzov I. Because the order didn't arrive in time, Tolbuhin unscrewed his own Kutuzov from his uniform and gave it to Patton. Later, Tolbuhin was reissued Kutuzov I which was meant for Patton. If you know or study Russian, you can watch "Orders of Gone Country" on rutube.ru:

Very interesting, thanks. (Though far FAR beyond my Russian skills.)

Is this just one of a series? How many episodes? Are the others available?

Awesome!!! Even without subtitles it's very cool. Lots of nice footage.
Thanks for sharing!

I just learned that before Red Banner was instituted, St. George's Crosses were awarded to Red Army soldiers.

These are the episodes I have found:

Christophe,

The series was made in 2003. In the back of my mind, I have a recollection that I have seen other episodes in addition to the ones listed in my previous post. I will try to find them.
