Seb,
You're right about the 3rd ribbon, I've just read the Regulations for the Jubulee Medal for 20 years of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and obviously it can't be that one.
Eddie,
When I suggested what I did for the 3rd ribbon that's because I thought the ribbon was Blue with Red border stripes, but I realize you are right and in fact it looks Violet instead, which in fact would be the ribbon for the Medal for Valiant Labor, but as you say I don't think Zaitsev was awarded that one!
If as you suggest the painter got his colors completely wrong, may be in that case that 3rd ribbon could be for a Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class! But in a previous post you mention he was awarded with a OGPW 1st Class, not 2nd Class, so I just don't know...
What do you guys think of this mysterious ribbon?
Best,
Dolf
