Senior Sergeant Aleksei Antonovich Vybornov's Order of the Red Star, #3279681. . .

Very nice! :thumbsup Too bad the archives don't report what instrument.

Somehow I doubt it'll be a termenvox.

A nice long service pair which surprisingly doesn't include a VOG.

Looks like he didn't manage to rack up the 20 years service award in 1956.

I'm thinking "Stairway to Heaven" on balalaika. . .

Never mind, no disrespect meant or intended. . .

Yes, that was my thinking as well, long-service awards.[/SIZE]

The wobble board!

Thinking about this award more it may be possible to find recordings of performances of the ensemble during his time with them.
