Eddie,

In the excellent thread "Soviet recipients of foreign "Hero" titles - Results to date", located hereafter :

http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/showt...php?t=3143

You include a section for the "Hero of Kazakhstan Republic" star, with only one awardee : Yuri Malenchenko.

I think this is a mistake as :

* This award has been created only after the end of the Soviet Union.
Consequently, no Soviet has had been the possibility to be awarded this star.

* Yuri Malenchenko, amongst his numerous awards is decorated with Gold Star Medal of the Hero of the Russian Federation (and not the Soviet Union !!!), Medal of the National Hero of Kazakhstan Republic...

Maybe I'm wrong, but...

Cheers.

Well spotted. I've delated the relevant post, this thread is of course for Soviet Awardees and not for the Russian Federation.

Christophe, Thanks :)

But it is the contributions of ALL the Forum Members that makes this Online community the best there is.
BTW only the "Results to Date" threads are closed for the Non-Soviet and Foreign Hero Stars.
The ongoing collective research threads are still open, the only reason for closing them was to stop postings in the "to date" threads as that is for the finished research.

Eddie,

In summary of Soviet citizen recepients of foreign Hero titles there's a mistake - Hero of Bulgaria section:

3. Leonov, Aleksei Arkhipovich - ?????
4. Belyaev, Pavel Ivanovich - ?????

These two Cosmonauts were awarded Labor Hero Titles. I have a photograph that confirms this.
