Photographs Of Recipients Of Soviet Awards/Service Personnel.
Gents,

And we're not talking about lumber...

Double HSL A. A. Morozov was the Chief Designer of the Ural Tank Factory Design Bureau and the Chief of the Kharkov Machine Construction Design Bureau. He was instrumental in devloping the T-34-85 tank variant.

Numbering among his awards were three Orders of Lenin, an Order of the October Revolution, an Order of Kutuzov 1st Class, an Order of Suvorov 2nd Class, three Orders of the Labor Red Banner and an Order of the Red Star.

What's particularly interesting about this image, however, is that in addition to his Lenin State Prize (1967), his three awards of the Stalin State Prize (1942, 1946, 1948) were subsequently "de-Stalinized" into USSR State Prizes. Compare this later image of him with the earlier image where his Stalin State Prize awards are clearly visible.

Regards,

slava1stclass
