It's a rare occasion to encounter a "Triple Crab" winner. Lt Gen I. K. Kolodyazhniy is one to behold.

One of only 13 officer to receive all three classes! According to Shishkov, his 1st Class was nr. 11 (Feb 11, 1982), his 2nd Class nr. 9 (Nov 18, 1980), and his 3rd Class nr. 38000 (Feb 21, 1978).
