Marshal of Artillery Mitrofan Nedelin's medals

Hi there, I studied on the 1960 incident that involved a new R-16 ICBM. Marshal of Artillery Mitrofan Nedelin(1902-1960) was responsible for tragic ICBM explosion that killed him and many prominent Soviet rocket specialists who died in "devil's venom" explosion. He commanded some Soviet artillery divisons during GPW. He was one-time Hero of Soviet Union. I already saw his photo of him in Marshal of Artillery tunic but I cant see his medals very clearly. What Soviet orders and medals besides his HSU medal does he earned during his military career? I am trying to figure out what orders and medals he got during his military career before his tragic death in R-16 explosion in 1960. Thanks! Redjames

Around the neck he is wearing the Bulgarian National Order of Military Mertit with swords and war decoration. I guess, the commanders cross or maybe the grand cross with star?, i am not sure.

best,
Gerd

The combination Commander's cross with breast star is usually for the grade of Grand Officer.
A Grand cross would be the combination of a breast plate and the cross attached to a large ribbon worn diagonally from the right shoulder to the left hip.

That's Militiary Merit Order 2nd Class with war distinction (green laurels). Majority of awardings to the Soviet officers were made during 1945-1947.

This emission is one of the latest, with the royal crown on the lion but the order has the national colors on the back instead of King Boris initials.

This was highly ranked award.

PS: he's also wearing Yugoslavian Partizan Star 1st class.
