Shopping for the Order of Victory

[Soviet]

I believe that there are only 2 Orders of Victory on display in Russia. One at the Almazniy Fund in Moscow, ...

Marc, is the Almazniy Fund at the Kremlin near the Armoury Palace?

They keep it in the metro.

#1 And here is the most rescent subway stop in Moscow (up to now). Park Pobedy (Victory Park).
#2 Publicity in the Metro
#3 Smolenskaya Metro Station

No I can't confirm it, but considering the display I thought it wasn't the real thing.

Oh and here is the selling of the Hall of Glory at the Victory museum in Moscow. It could make a nice avatar

Great idea! I cleaned up this one and Soviet's a little through photoshop and have added them to our avatar collection. Of course to get such an honor as the Order of Victory you have to work for it it is available to any member with 500 posts or more. Feel free to send more..I'll try the metro victory but it may be to dark

[Soviet]

Gee, I've got less than 500 posts. I'll post more pictures in that case.

#1 Small display at the Central Museum for Contemporary History of Russia (not sure if it is the right name in English)
#2 Ceiling from the Stalingrad Panorama Museum in Volgograd
#3 Some lights before entering Mamaev Kurgan (Volgograd)

EDIT: Ouff, that's it. I haven't seen other Order of the Victory during my last trip.

I couldn't resist :devil that ceiling light with the glowing red "rubies" is fantastic. I'd give anything for a replica to replace the ceiling light in my "collecting room".

I have nothing to say , as YOU allowed me to get my avatar in resizing it... many years ago now ...

Cheers.

EDIT: Last picture is from outside of the museum.

The banner made a unique looking avatar..

Soviet,

The Almazniy Fund is in fact inside the Armoury Palace. You have to purchase a separate entrance ticket once inside the Armoury Museum. Then, you enter in something like a huge vault where diamonds, gold, platinum and other goodies are on display; only drawback (well, there are actually quite a few of them in fact): strictly no cameras allowed, no mobile phones, and they kick you out after a maximum of 45 minutes inside. Still, it is well worth the entrance price
