Based on the fact that the uniform is for a Colonel General, that he's a HSU and that it displays very specific orders, I'll be able to identify the wearer. Given that only 35 LOMs in the degree of Commander were awarded to Red Army officers, this will be easy. More to follow...
BTW Doug, your picture of MSU Konev's VP taken at the same time clearly shows his award of the LOM in the degree of Commander. You might consider adding that shot to this thread as another example.
The uniform belonged to Colonel General F. F. Zhmachenko, Commander, 40th Army, 2nd Ukrainian Front.
