Mainly Ukraine. Prices in Ukraine are low due to the banning of Communist symbolism plus the rather poor situation has caused some desperation.
The economic issues faced by Russia has also caused a huge glut of awards to surface onto the market. Prices just keep getting better and better but the fakes are still out there too.
I've also noticed many US based "collectors" liquidating their collections because speculation is no longer profitable. Even "well know over priced dealers" have slashed prices.
As I'm only interested in the historical value, it wouldn't matter to me if the monetary value fell to zero, I'm not in this for a profit.
