You can find them in Kutsenko's Book "Orders of the USSR". However, you aren't going to find a comprehensive list for the Orders of Glory. They were awarded in a non-sequential fashion, e.g., they were awarded based on what awards each unit had. Thus, a unit in a sector that saw less combat could be awarding a five (or even four) digit Glory 3rd in May 1945 whereas a unit that saw a lot of combat could be awarding the same award at the same time but in the 500,000+ serial number range!
