Gelashvili, Estat Mihajlovich, Construction Worker

[CtahhR]

Here is a strange group to Georgian Construction Worker Estat Mihajlovich Gelashvili or Est'at'e Gelashvili (ესტატე გელაშვილი). The group covers 1975-2010.

The group is strange in the way that as far as I can find out Gelashvili was NOT a Great Patriotic War veteran and is most likely a complete group.

His Labour Glory III #133293 is a Type 1 with rivets.

The 21st April 1975 Ukazs cover vast areas of the construction industry of the entire USSR.

The 19th March 1981 Ukazs also cover vast areas of Soviet Construction.

After Georgia's withdrawal from the CIS they decided to go their own way with a 65th Anniversary Commemorative.

Gelashvili was awarded #011284. Likely for contribution to Georgia or to the celebration of the anniversary rather than actual participation in the War.
