Gorbachev was never named a Hero of Socialist Labor?

I remember seeing an official photo of him when he became a full member of the Politburo, and he was wearing the Hammer & Sickle Gold Medal.

I don't think he won this award. Can you post this picture or can anyone confirm he did win it?

It appears that you are correct. I found this at a WWW biography of Comrade Gorbachev (http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/2768/gorbache.html):

"Was decorated with three Lenin Orders (he received his first while still a harvester operator), Orders of October Revolution and the Red Banner of Labor, "Sign of Honor," and medals. Nobel Prize winner (1990). He also has many foreign decorations and awards. He remains a colonel in reserve."

No mention of being awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor, although there is mention of him awarding/nominating someone else, Chernenko, I believe.

Gorbachev was not awarded HSL.

BTW, I never saw pictures of him wearing ANY awards, except (I know, it is not an award...) Supreme Soviet Badge.

Awards of V.I. Lenin

Was Lenin awarded with Soviet awards? Foreign awards?

If he wasn't awarded Soviet awards, do you know why?

He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. But he did not get it. ;)

Stateleaders usually get foreign orders when they are on a state visit. I could not think of any country that would have had Lenin as their guest while he still was alive. When he was in exile he visted about every country in Europe, but he surely did not get any orders from them at that time.

Lenins father is a completely different story. He held the St. Anne Order I believe.
