new world · 09-13-2002, 06:43 AM

There's new book from Russia "Order of Alexandr Nevsky Cavaliers from Moscow and Moscow region". Volume 1 is already published.

Book includes real entries from the award lists and citations with the decription of the heroic deed for which Nevsky was awarded, biography and photo of the recepient of the award.

Book also lists other awards for the recepients.

For over 90% of entries there is serial number of the award.

536 pages, 260 awardees described.

1000 copies.

Alex.

I was offered this book by a dealer in Russia for $50 plus shipping to the States.

Hmm, thanks, but I think, I'll wait to see it in person first. It's likely to appear on eBay or at some main dealers' site soon.

As odd as it sounds, but in Russia, even with the scarce quantities like 1000 copies, all those books end up here, with just a handfull sold there. That is a fact with Muzalevsky book, and Kutsenko "Marshals and Admirals...".
Even though I have several Nevsky's, I'd skip for now.

Thanks for the info, though.

Cheers,

Alex.

I did nt purchase it for the similar reasons.

I'd also like to see the book before I buy it.

On top of that, the chances that Nevskys from my collection will be one out of 360 in the book - are slim. If I knew for sure that I am a proud owner of one of them - then $50 would be good deal for me.

:D

I know its pricy but I would buy such a book. Any book that actaully lists the serial number with the citations etc is worthwhile. If you happen to have one of the awards then its superb but the information contained in the citations may spill over into other groups.

For one of the first Soviet groups I bought I found in another dealers list a citation to a another guy in the same unit for an event only a few days later than the one I had. So its amazing how much you can learhn from citations of other groups.

Where can one buy this book?

Kind regards

Guys,

This sounds like a an excellent book. Imagine what it would cost to have this information researched, and you can see where the value comes in. I'd be most interested in buying this book.

Also, is there any English summarization of the text?

I know Eugene and Alexei like to post in the "Reference Materials For Sale" section. If there is enough demand, I'm certain either or both could get us a few copies.

Art,
I’ve heard about this book about a few months ago. Since it only over two hundreds cavaliers not all of the articles contain serial numbers, I decided to skip on this book. Also I checked with a couple fellow collectors in Russia and no one was very excited about this book. I don’t think it’s worth the money unless you have order of Cavalier from this book, which is very slim chance.

Thanks for the review Eugene..too bad :(

Art,

According to one of my contacts in Russia the information in this book is not very reliable, and far from complete. Basically they put it out to make a quick buck on the growing interest in this area.
