Eddie,

According to this Russian site:

http://sovet.geraldika.ru/article.php?coatid=4630

it was established on 10 December 1979 by Decree-Law No. 30. I am not sure how accurate their data is.

re: Título de Héroe de la República de Cuba

Good find, Taz!

When I was in Cuba, I barely saw two officers in two weeks with some Lazaro Peña awards, and regular people and museum guides didn't even know Cuba had awards.


Any idea how many that's been awarded? I'm certain of 8 awarded, but it seems to be a lot more than we think.
