I've spent some time looking for his Soviet citations but to no avail. I've tried his real names, pseudonyms and Russian/Korean variations - Nothing.

Any news on the list of his awards? OK, I can guess the answer, but I just wanted to ask.

I would expect the very first award may well have been the Soviet Medal "For Victory Over Japan".

Here is a photograph of Kim Il-Sung during the Soviet Occupation Of Korea. It looks like he's just been awarded this Red Banner.
