Damaged, Repair, Clean, Preserve Soviet Awards And Documents.
Am I wrong to get a very, very uncomfortable feeling in my gut regarding all this non-reversible meddling and mucking-about with awards? OK, maybe I just am too much of a purist?

What the recipients did to them is one thing, and part of their history. And that damage or even just that patina is also part of that history. What we do to them may just border on desecration?
