Dear All

Here is an interesting photo of Guards Col Galperin, Matvej Jurievich. He is wearing both an American Legion of merit and a Bronze star. Interesting for a person to receive 2 American awards. Matvej's fathers name was Udel (nice Jewish name) and he has changed it to Jurij (more Russian)

The Col was a professor of Marxism at the University of Leningrad for many years and in his CV mentions all his war time achievements and decorations but makes no mention of his American awards. However there was a nice picture of him wearing these in his file.

Does anyone know how many American awards were made to Soviet forces and under what conditions. Is there a record of these awards???? Interesting that he is proudly wearing them in the photo and there is no mention of them in his file.

regards from sunny South Africa
