Hi guys,
There is a mistake in the "Hero of Mongolia to Soviets" listing:
Tereshkova, Valentina Vladimirovna did not receive the Hero title but the Hero of Labour title.
Apparantly Tsedenbal did not want to give her the Hero title because no (living) Mongolian woman was honoured with the title at that point.
So she got the Hero of Labour title.
