Dear Tal,
Comrade Leonov is really impressive: 2x HSU and 2x HSL + all that metal .... that's something folks.
Your last picture is interesting: This colonel wears in front of his SU "Friendship ..." the lowest and basic order of Austria: "Silberne Ehrenzeichen der Republik Österreich", which is really a rather shitty award for a cosmonaut, because every civil servant, who didn't steel silver spoons and completed a university education (masters degree) gets this award after a certain time. Maybe someone can tell this "hero" to wear the Austrian award behind the SU-award, which is several classes higher.
Regards from Vienna
