Very nice, not a bad picture at all. :D

I would be proud as well! Great photo!

Any idea what actions he did to get his awards?

Often called "Father of Russia's Airborne Troops", Gen. Margelov was awarded 2 OGPW I (1944, 1985). The 1944 order is visible on the photo taken during the war. However, the order is missing on his Victory Parade uniform. Does anyone know why?

Thanks,

Simon

Maybe he was just going for a minimalist look. There wasn't a lot of space on his uniform and many had an OPW, but few a Suvorov.

Great photo! I posted a much smaller version of this photo in an old thread, but this is a much better one.

Pull that pin before ya hit the ground! :)
Is that what "desantnik" means, "parachutist"?
