New Defense of Caucasus Medal Booklet

Just published in 2004 is the 83-page Russian-language booklet "Medal 'Za oboronu Kavkaza'" (The Defense of the Caucasus Medal) by V.A. Boev and V.G. Lazarenko. The book identifiess four varieties of the medal (large ring 1944, small ring 1945, ring as part of medal 1947, and voenkomat type '58-'89) and also highlights the several types of documents by various republics and other awarding organizations. The book also details the Cyrillic letters with their corresponding awarding organizations, i.e. an "A" was awarded by the Azerbaidjian SSR, "Zh" was awarded by the Grozny oblast, "Sh" by the Armenian SSR, etc. Twenty-seven pages of color illustrations depicting various documents and medal types. Rather interesting even for English-speakers.

New Order of the Red Star publication

I recently purchased a Russian-language booklet on the Order of the Red Star. It is by V.A. Boev and entitled Raznovidnosti Ordena "Krasnaya Zveza" (Variants of the Order of the Red Star). It is published in Kiev in 2005 and has 80 pages and 86 color photos, as well as narrative, serial number spreads for encountered types, as well as prices. Interestingly, a Goznak Red Star is priced at $15,000 and the popular 3-pin variety at $1000. He breaks down the Red Stars into six types, and also shows varieties of dublicates, re-awardings, and documents. Interesting.

Could you please elaborate some more on that book? How much was it? Could you also post a scan or two of it?
Thanks,

-Alex.

I know that somebody quite known has been working on such book for a couple of years now, but don't think it went into publishing...

Labor Banner Book

This volume is part of a new Russian produced series regarding variations of orders and medals. They are a nice compendium. The publishing quality is a compromise between the old Soviet quality and glossy: they include a glossy photo section, with the bulk of the text section done in b-w.

Got this today.
By Mr. Vladimir Boev. A catalogue and price guide of some Soviet chest badges. Published in 1999, black and white images, 44 pages plus index, Russian language.
A handy guide if nothing else.

Here's another by Mr. Boev.
РЕВЕРС 3 (BACKSPACING 3 (???))
СОВЕТСКИЕ НАГРАДНЫЕ ЗНАКИ (SOVIET НАГРАДНЫЕ SIGNS)
A price catalogue. Some of the prices seem accurate, some seem kooky.
136 pages, black and white images (though of better quality than above) of what I say are common badges, military and otherwise of the postwar era.

Hi Eric,

Good discoveries. I have never heard about these two books / catalogs.

I just think REVERS must be compared to AVERS, the other famous catalogs... Probably Mr Boev just wanted with humour, position its catalogs again the "competition"... ;)

Cheers.

Ch.

Boev book 3

Here's probably the nicest of the bunch; a book about booklets.
Published in 2008, 160 pgs, b&w photos, 8 x 5.75 inches (same size as the others.)
Orders booklets, medals booklets, medal documents inside. Very nice.
I got this one for $11, the previous one for the same price and the fist one above for $6 from a good seller on eBay. PM me if you want his ID.

Sorry about the poor images; my scanner stinks. The cover images are fine and the last inside image is about as accurate as I could get; the other two are my bad, not the publishers.
