Going by the post-1991 state instituted awards by each and every post Soviet nation there are hundreds.... many of which are not even represented on this forum (unfortunately). Then you have your official "ministerial" awards and over a good few of the post-Soviet nations that soon adds up....
Looking at this situation through Russian eyes there are FAR more bits of shiny "junk" than awards instituted by those voted in to be able to do such a favour. If a day goes by without a new "organisational" award someone is missing a trick!
I have noticed that very frequently it's a "do what you feel" affair when veterans wear their awards when not in service....
Got to this end of this without mentioning "unrecognised" states.....
