If that is the case, how do you explain the fact that, for instance, people awarded with the Order of the Red Banner of the RSFSR (screwback) who were repressed, received upon rehabilitation a brand new Order of the Red Banner of the RSFSR on suspension!

Marc,
That's an easy one - after wearing regulations changed, it made no sense to give old screwbacks.
I read somewhere that officers arrested during 1930s purges and reabilitated in 1940-41 were given their original awards.
