Badge Of Honour,0012577,Head Of Department,Kirov Factory Leningrad,Winter War
Part of a broken group, but the research makes it interesting.
Order of the Badge of Honor, type 2, var. 4 -- 12577 -- 1940 Research has revealed that this is, in effect, a labor award for the Finnish War. He was a plant manager at the Kirovsky zavod (one of the largest and “most revolutionary” of the military factories in Leningrad). He received the Badge of Honor along with 1280 other workers from Leningrad for support of the front line troops during the Finnish War. Last edited by medals73; 11-07-2011 at 06:13 PM. |

re: Badge of Honor,Finnish War,12577
Thanks for sharing!
Could you post a photo of what look like research paperwork for a civil award like this? Also, I am curious about what are the criteria for a civil award to be researchable. Must it be of GPW-era? Must it be specific type of award, or must it be documented, etc...? I have a HSL and a documented OL I would like to get researched. They don't belong to each other and were awarded in 1962 for OL and 1970-1980s for the HSL. |

So far, the only things on which I have had luck are GPW-era or earlier, and they must be documented (the name and date of award is the key, not the serial number of an orphaned award). And I should add that the researcher who helped me with these seems to have dropped completely off the face of the earth.
Let me dig out the stacks of poorly-Xeroxed newspaper selections and see if anything can be usefully scanned and posted. The "broken" part -- a quite missing RBL, known only from the press (based on researched translation). Delightful in the tone. Or did the press get get it wrong? They never do. Right?

The RBL part must be an error.

re: Badge of Honor,Finnish War,12577
Many thanks.
The mysterious (to me) transcription of the original article. The chance that the translator "messed" up is certainly very real -- I know that from work that I have done. Last edited by medals73; 11-07-2011 at 07:26 PM. |
