O' Lord...

I'd probably be thrown out of there if I attended, since I would have passed out several times just sitting there, stunned.

Thanks for sharing, real eye-candy here, haha!

An absolutely stunning image of an unidentified FCOLG at a recent gathering of FCOLGs and HSLs.

Never seen so many Orders of Lenin in one place at one time. . .

You're going to flip out when you see Dmitrij Ustinov photographed "in conference".

Haha, I know I did when I first saw him.

11 Orders of Lenin, was it?

I haven't seen many pictures of him with all 11 though...

I wish they had allowed to let me take pictures when I wound up getting invited to the lunch held in honor of the "relevant veterans" that commemorated the anniversary of the Hitlerite invasion that was held at FSB Border Guards headquarters (where I'd gone just to visit the museum).
The museum director did give me a nice pair of badges, though.

Also worth mentioning is record holder Nikolai Patolichev, who was a twice HSL and awarded 12 Lenins. He was the 12th First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Belorussian Communist Party (1950-1956) and later the 5th Minister of Foreign Trade (1958-1985).

Wohoho!

Thanks for the info! I've always wondered if anyone could break Ustinov's record...

Can't find any images of Patolichev and his stack, though...
