I am surprised by the author's decision to combine under one cover Stalin's SU and Hitler's Germany, other than that - this is good reference book.

Strange combination indeed. The question is - is the book worth the money? Is new information included?

I saw the book in Moscow. Price - 8$.

To my mind this book is for junior collectors of GERMAN awards, not for Russian.

You can find nice pictures of awards, a few words about each of awards.

As for Soviet awards - scanty information . Statute, well known facts - thats all.

Resume - useless book. Not for advanced collectors :D

Alexscl,

I am too not impressed by the Soviet section and I like German section of the book better.

I just buy all reference books on the subject of Soviet awards collecting and had to buy this one as well. It's definitely worth small $$$ I paid for it.

This book also exist in German version... for those who don't read Russian...

Having seen this book in a book shop in Minsk, I flicked through it, but decided to keep my money. Can't say I'd recommend it.
