Yes, it's Vitushchenko and I should have made it more obvious.

May be Tarcza 76, same men, same uniforms as on the famous picture with Raul Castro. And Jaruzelski wear the same badge on the right pocket.

anyone of you gentlemen has pics of Dobri Djurov please?

[Al-muell]

Thanks! That may be right, esp. if the same countries participated in it. Do You have copy of that photo?

As for the Grunwald badge - Jaruzelski got it in 1944 or 1945 I think.

I could only find this.
Funny, that the transcription for bulgarian gives this letter as "j", while from russian it would be "zh". I had some troubles because of this. Luckily in polish its a simple "ż":D for both of them.

Hello Al -Muell,
You can find the picture, and some others, quite easily in searching Tarcza 76 in Goggle image. Note that the badge I speak about is the little round one, not the ubiquitous grundwald shield.
For Charlet I have a little but interesting picture of Djurov in the late eighties.

Kliment,

Could it be a Marshal star?

It is the bulgarian equivalent for armejski general. I think that Djurov was the only wearer. Here a picture:
