Christer,

Great photograph!

I've noticed that all sailors wear their Red Star orders on the LEFT side (they should be worn on the RIGHT).

Were the wearing regulations different at that period?

William-

Yes, they were. Some of the other folks might be able to give you more specifics, but I'm fairly certain that the switch from the left to the right breast occured during the whole early-43 overhaul of Soviet uniforms, awards, etc.
