A late follow up

If there was a "Hero of the Revolution" awarded, it would have been awarded to Abdul Ahad Mohmand. He was the Afghan cosmonaut that went into space in 1988.

I tried to contact him, but the guy doesn't like Americans very much. An Afghan friend of mine made contact with him; living in Stuttgart, Germany. Abdul told him that he was only awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union, but not the "Hero of the Revolution" ... He left his awards behind in Afghanistan so they are long gone .... so ends my search for the "Hero of the Revolution" ... well, it just started again.

Screen shot from a BBC story on Abdul Ahad Mohmand. These are the awards that he was awarded. Could this be the "Hero of the Revolution" ?
