Re: Russia's Modernized Orders
I realize it's a matter of personal taste and sensibilities, but these are really bizarre. The mix of imperial and Soviet themes and design while intending to institute a new award system for the 21st century and beyond is unsettling.
This reminds me of the "new" US Army's "traditional" blue army service uniform. Both it and these "new" Soviet, er, Russian medals are tired anachronisms. |

Re: Russia's Modernized Orders
Agreed, though I have to say that these are at least a little better looking than some of the other post-Soviet awards - though no less gaudy.:rolleyes:
Personally, I think they should just make the move away from ribbon-based awards and go to a system of just badges sort of like the Mongolian awards (pin rather than screw attached though). But that is just my taste at the moment and I'm sure I'll change my mind later. Phillip

Re: Russia's Modernized Orders
Makes you wonder if the new "Order of the Red Star" will even be a star!

Re: Russia's Modernized Orders
I think they are actually pretty nice. But that's based on how well they are made. If they are just stamped colored metal and crummy enamel work then they aren't so great.
