Have recently travelled through Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus and discovered that the only medals for sale are either all fakes (including declared copies) or just simply suspicious outrageously priced pieces... . Yesterday was good though, on 9 September 2007, I saw and managed to speak to real veterans - celebrating the day of tankists. Nice event, spoke to a fellow, now a colonel with several orders of Bogdan Chmelnitski (two awarded by Ukraine in recent years) who vividly remembered the battles for Konigsberg and Kharkov. For more see Interesting page 4.

Yet another, fifth, auction of medals and orders
by the La
Galerie Numismatique Lausanne was held
on 29 November 2004 in Geneva (CH). All were in
very good condition, most undocumented, and only
a few actually sold . For more see Interesting.

A falerist friend in Russia sent me a nice explanation
why scans of Soviet awards suddenly disappeared
from his site. For his viewpoint on what can happen
ever since trading in Soviet orders and medals has
been outlawed see attached!

Geneva remains a collectors desert - but I will
