Orden "Playa Girón".
The Marshal and Hero of the Soviet Union Víctor Kulikov received the Orden "Playa Girón" for his contribution to the fortification of the friendship between the towns and Armed Forces of both countries.
The distinction was conferred to him by the Council of State, on request of the Cuban minister of Defense, Raul Castro on his 85th birthday. The cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first Soviet citizen who received the order Playa Girón on the 26th July, 1961, in Havana. Víctor Kulikov wearing his award Here is a detailed Image of the Orden "Playa Girón" showing the after 1979 version ribbon. Many thanks again to Michel (Cussonneau) for the use of his photo.

Orden “Playa Girón”, type 1 (1961-79)
Sorry for the naked medal. Ribbons are very difficult to locate. It is a gilt (lightly so) medal of a surprising 51 mm. No number or anything else. |
