Orden "Playa Girón".

[Taz]

The Marshal and Hero of the Soviet Union Víctor Kulikov received the Orden "Playa Girón" for his contribution to the fortification of the friendship between the towns and Armed Forces of both countries.
The distinction was conferred to him by the Council of State, on request of the Cuban minister of Defense, Raul Castro on his 85th birthday.

The cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first Soviet citizen who received the order Playa Girón on the 26th July, 1961, in Havana.
