Tal,

I don't know how much truth there is to this, but I heard there was some controversy about Brezhnev's Order of Victory award, in that I heard he (or someone close to him, maybe a relative who he installed in the bureaucracy) tried to sell the gems (for those who may not know, the Order of Victory has 5 rubies, and 110 diamonds) out of the award. Don't ask me for any proof to back this story up. I heard it a long time ago and it may just be some sort of crazy rumor. BTW, Brezhnev was awarded Gold Star of Hero of the Soviet Union 4 times, if I'm not mistaken he awarded one of these to himself for his 60th birthday, and an Order of Lenin and another Gold Star for Hero of USSR for his 75th birthday (he held a total of 6 Orders of Lenin!)
