No telling HSU Guards Colonel I. I. Kholobtsev he should be swapping out his hanging orders...

This image dates to May 8, 1965. It was taken at a Kremlin HSU award ceremony.
HSU Chief Marshal of Tank Troops P. A. Rotmistrov is the only one I'm able to positively identify. Fellow forum members may recognize others - especially the HSU Admiral of the Fleet of the USSR.

Look closely at Guards Captain M. M. Martynov's OPW. Note, too, his Czech Medal for Bravery Before the Enemy.
He was a fighter pilot.

A great image of Guards Senior C.P.O. M. V. Podrugskiy - a true salty sea dog!

For those of you who always wondered why you never see a picture of a smiling MSU Chuikov - now you know the reason why.

Gents,
It's relatively unusual to see two hanger Suvorovs awarded to the same person. Future Double HSU Guards Colonel A. A. Golovachyov was a brigade commander who was KIA in Poland in January 1945.
