The riddle of the day: where did the veteran get the rare and a very expensive Order of Victory?

The riddle of the day: where did the veteran get the rare and a very expensive Order of Victory?

25 июня 2020, 13:39
In total, 17 people were awarded this order, and all of them have already died.

The journalist Ilya Shepelin asked a question in his blog that he could not solve even with the help of his many readers:

“My God, what a veteran took the parade today. The highest and largest star is the Order of Victory. The production of one such order required 180 diamonds and 300 grams of platinum.

And all the gentlemen of the order are more than known. There are only 17 of them: Stalin, Marshals Zhukov, Vasilevsky (2 times each), Konev, Rokossovsky, Malinovsky, Tolbukhin, Govorov, Tymoshenko, Antonov, Meretskov, General Eisenhower, Field Marshal Montgomery, Romanian King Michael I, Polish Marshal Rolya-Zhimersky, Yugoslav Secretary General Tito and our Secretary General Brezhnev.

All of the above are not only deceased, but Brezhnev was also posthumously deprived of the Order of Victory. Who, then, this marshal was? And how long can you turn the Victory parade into a masquerade ball?

(Clarification: this grandfather was at the parade in St. Petersburg, and not near the Mausoleum, please forgive me for this omission)

PS

They write that only the value of the jewelry of this medal is a couple of million dollars..."

Readers of the blog vividly responded to this riddle, making various assumptions, the main of which was undoubtedly this:

- Listen, well, the head of the general staff at once wears the 3rd and 4th degrees of awards, although only one degree, the “senior”, is worn... What do you want from a very elderly person, well, they handed some kind of sign similar to the Order of Victory , Umalatova won veterans packs handing out awards similar to awards of the times of the USSR.

- At the beginning of the zero-years in Moscow, a whole batch of replicas was made. Both full copies with diamonds, and fakes from basic metals.

Blogger Yan Orlov suggested how this order appeared:

“These are just fake badges from the swindlers. But where does the FSO (Federal Protective Service) look, why are these, so to speak, “rewards” allowed to the stands?
