I am hoping to start a new thread where we could show scans of awards and award documents belonging to important people.

To give it a start here's a set to Soviet Ambassador Dobrinin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly_Dobrynin). Unfortunatelly, it's not mine, the scans were sent to me by a fellow collector.

In this wonderful photo reportage of Sergio there are several astonishing sets of orders and medals http://www.rkka.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28375.

In some cases the name of the recipient is present..
In other cases the sets are so famous that one does not need a name to recognise who they belonged to

Terrific pieces! What a lucky fellow collector do you have!

very impressive

Definitely outstanding! It's surprising that such groupings can be in private hands.

The Alexander Bovin Group, another very famous diplomat, is also in private hands (don't know if i can post pictures here).
Trust me, when you know the quotations of those VIP groups you understand why realtives decide to sell.

amazing group

A "small grouping" that changed owners for close to $200,000 ten years ago (ahhh, the good old times!!!)

And these are Eremenko's awards, and his M58 parade uniform with its unusual wound stripes (items which, incidentally, are not held together and show that one may have to comb many different spots to re-"group" them;))

Alexander Bovin.
Sorry for the quality but i cannot post details.
