Despite what we are told to believe about the DDR, there is a very different "chemistry" at work there. I find it very interesting.
GDR had shizophrenic relations with the soviet brothers in many fields: copying or not copying? Some awards were "twins" , some others were "socialist prussian-style"... Much originality in the first years of the regime and in the fifties, more conventionnal under the Honcker rule... about 50-60% of awards were with a pentagonal device. But I'm defintively off-topic.
I had a glance in the small Durov of 1988, and nothing about the genesis of the russian pentagonal ribbon. I think we need some help from Russian readers.
