Just my two cents.. I am not going to comment about the legality or legitimity of the thing, but in my opinion, we, collectors, are doing a lot of good for the soviet history by exporting the awards out of CIS. We are going to have those orders displayed at home, we may have them researched, published on the internet and we are spreading the heroic actions that those people did during the war, we are preserving the memory and transmitting the history to other generations and to other people who would not know if it was not of the collectors. As far as I know, collectors are probably the ones who takes the best care of the awards.
Look at Dave's webpage ForValor and you will see what I mean. It's a very beautiful collection of awards and interesting information.
