Damaged, Repair, Clean, Preserve Soviet Awards And Documents.

[Kirchgoens]

I have several ORS's in various degrees of "broken-ness" like this. I often find them as left-over pickin's in bazaars. I nab them because they will otherwise be melted for jewelry making. I figure just because it's broken doesn't mean there's no history.

Now, when the Podolsk archives are open for regular guys to do research (and when pigs subsequently fly out of my ass), I'll research them. Until then, I guess it'll never be affordable or timely bez documents.
