Unfortunately the related documents I have to the star won't fit in my scanner (and I'll also have to travel through 6 time zones to get to them) but they are signed by Generals and there is at least one in Russian and one in Bulgarian.
The offer is there if you ever decide to take me up on it. I am very happy sitting on it knowing it once adorned AHK's chest (even though it was only a 70th birthday present).
On top of Avgust Hristov Kabakchiev's Hero Of Socialist Labour and the selection of documents I have now been fortunate enough to obtain his cousin's group (that I will post later in its own thread).
Avgust was the son of Hristo Stefanov (born 2nd January 1878 in Romania, Died 6th October 1940 in Moscow) who was the son of Stefan Nedjuv (born 18th December 1834 in Turnovo, Ottoman Bulgaria). Stefan's other son Nikola Stefanov was Kiril Nikolov's father.
Here is a picture of Avgust Hristov's full cousin (both sharing their paternal grandfather) Kiril Nikolov Kabakchiev in uniform in 1955. At that time a Captain in the Bulgarian People's Army.
On top of these, I have now found Professor Kiril Nikolov Kabakchiev's wife's group in the collection. Ekaterina Hristova Kabakchieva. Not to be confused as a sibling of Avgust due to the "Hristov" connection but a cousin-in-law.
More items continue to be found in the collection but it will be very many months before sorting is complete.
