Slavik Zaveni Pogosian, Eagle-Suicide Squad Member.

[CtahhR]

Here is an exceptional, yet incomplete group to Slavik Zaveni Pogosian, an Eagle-Suicide Bomber of the 5th Brigade Of Liberators during the Artsakh War.

This group comes directly from his widow, the two missing pieces were lost by the recipient before his death.

The group is also a great example of how some of the most prestigious awards are of very poor quality. The Eagles were legends in their own lifetimes but the awards indicating their deeds were certainly not made of precious metals.

Furthermore, this groups also destroys another myth - the myth that all the Eagles were awarded a Bravery Medal or higher by the Republic Of Armenia - Pogosian was an Eagle that only received the Combat Service Medal.

Although this group was awarded over only 16 years it is larger than many Soviet award groups and is the largest post-Soviet group I've seen offered to date (5 official Armenian Awards (1 missing), 1 Russian Organisational Award, 1 NKR Organisational Award and 7 Armenian Organisational Awards)
