In addition to the excellent workmanship and exquisite production, the medals of the Soviet era have another feature, that is, the naming of many medals is actually a continuation of some medals from the Tsarist Russia period, or after some famous military generals in the Tsarist Russia period. named after.

For example, the Order of Alexander Nevsky, formerly the St. Alexander Nevsky Imperial Order awarded by Empress Catherine I of the Russian Empire in 1725, was used to commend outstanding contributions to the country, mainly Russian nationals, politically or militarily.

Alexander Nevsky, Russian commander-in-chief and politician, successively served as Duke of Novgorod and Grand Duke of Vladimir.His struggle against the Swedish invaders and the German Knights of Livonia saved the northwestern regions of Russia from being conquered by Western Catholic countries.At that time he decisively defeated the Livonian Knights on the ice of Lake Chud near the Estonian border.This battle was later known as the "Battle on the Ice".Later Russian historians often commented that this battle saved the Russian nation.

After the October Revolution, the Imperial Order of St. Alexander Nevsky was abolished by the Soviet government.And during World War II, when Nazi Germany's troops penetrated deep into the heart of the Soviet Union, Stalin declared Alexander Nevsky a national hero.The Soviet Army established the Order of Alexander Nevsky.

For another example, the Kutuzov Medal is awarded to the Russian Marshal of Tsarist Russia, a famous Russian general and military strategist. named after.It is mainly awarded to military chiefs and commanders who are good at planning and implementing the campaigns of the front armies and group armies, or skillfully avoiding the enemy's assaults and successfully implementing counter-assaults.

Another example is the Order of Alexander Suvorov and the Order of Bogdan Khmelnytsky.These are named after famous commanders and military strategists in Tsarist Russia in history.

"First Class Bogdan Khmelnytsky Medal!" Fang Mingyuan repeated. The Bogdan Khmelnytsky Medal is awarded to Bogdan Khmelnytsky, an outstanding military commander of Tsarist Russia. Named after the medal, it was established by the Soviet Union to begin the expulsion of occupying forces from the territory of Soviet Ukraine. The medal is mainly awarded to soldiers and partisans who have made meritorious service in the battle against the German army.Fang Mingyuan remembered very clearly that Major General Danilov, the commander of the group army at that time, was the winner of the No.1 First Class Bogdan Khmelnytsky Medal.

Fang Mingyuan picked up the medal, it was heavy and textured.

"Huh? There's something under here." Luo Jin noticed that there was a piece of paper in the box, and Fang Mingyuan noticed that there was a medal certificate under the box.

"This medal was awarded to a major general named Cliffley in [-] in recognition of his heroic performance in the battle against the German invaders." Rozin's Russian is okay, but the Russian language is almost meaningless .Can only see a general meaning.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed. If the person who received the medal knew who received it, the value of the medal would be much higher than those who didn't know who it belonged to in the first place.This is like the ancient paintings of Huaxia. If they are collected by celebrities, they will be more valuable.

The first medal was so meaningful, which made Fang Mingyuan more interested in the other medals collected by the old man. According to the habit of Chinese people, the better the thing, the more it should be kept until the end.I don't know if this Soviet old man is also like this?

Fang Mingyuan took a look at Khodokovsky. If that was the case, it would not be a good thing if his deal with the old man fell into the eyes of the Soviet lord.

Seeming to see Fang Mingyuan's scruples, Khodokowski took the initiative and said: "Three bosses, take a look here, I'll make some tea for you." He went into the kitchen as he spoke.

"First Class Kutuzov Medal!" The second box gave Fang Mingyuan a bigger surprise.

"First Class Suvorov Medal!" The medal in the third box made Fang Mingyuan gasp again. It was named after the great Russian commander, Grand Marshal Suvorov. Medal for military chiefs and commanders who wiped out the enemy's superior forces. The No.1 winner of the Suvorov Medal is the famous Soviet Marshal Zhukov.Before the establishment of the "Victory" medal, the first-class Suvorov Medal was the highest military medal of the Soviet Union.Its preciousness can be imagined.

...In the following time, old man Nakhimov's wooden box gave Fang Mingyuan a great surprise. In this wooden box, except for the Red Banner Medal, the Victory Medal, the Lenin Medal, and the Gold Star Medal, almost everything from the Soviet Union was stored. The main medals and medals that have been awarded, even the Ushakov Medal, the Pavel Nakhimov Medal awarded to naval officers and soldiers, the Captain’s Medal specially awarded to submarine captains, and the medal awarded to the hero mother Both.And the most commendable thing is that about half of these medals come with certificates.

Fang Mingyuan took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement.In terms of value, these medals were nothing to Fang Mingyuan today, but in terms of their historical value, how could they be measured purely by money.You must know that many of these medals have a history of decades, and the Soviet government with a population of hundreds of millions has only awarded two to three hundred medals in total.

"Brother Luo, please be an interpreter." Fang Mingyuan took a deep breath and said, "Ask the old man, if I want to buy all these medals, how much do I need to pay?"

"Buy them all?" Luo Jin and Wu Wei said in unison in surprise.Although the two of them could tell just now that Fang Mingyuan seemed a little excited, they didn't expect him to want to do it all together.

"Well, I bought them all!" Fang Mingyuan nodded heavily.After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the value of these medals will rise all the way.

"I said, brother, aren't you worried that these things are fake?" Luo Jin lowered his voice.Although it is said that there are not as many people making fakes in Lao Maozi as in Huaxia, it is not the case.This is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

"It's okay, if it's fake, I'll let them spit it out for me!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.Even if only the less valuable half of these medals were real, this time it was not in vain to follow Khodokovsky.Even if everything is in vain, it is nothing to him now, anyway, the Soviet Union will be ruthlessly slaughtered next time.Not bad for the money.

"Young Master Fang, why don't you ask Brother Luo to ask him about the origin of these medals." Wu Wei suggested from the side.

It didn't take long for Luo Jin to find out that the old man was originally a colonel in the Soviet Siberia Military Region, and he liked to collect these medals.Although he is married, he has no children and no daughters all his life. Except for the necessities of life, all the salary is put into the collection.These medals and medals are accumulated little by little over the years.

"This is possible. Although these people who have received medals are all generals and marshals, once they fall in a political struggle, it is normal that these things cannot be kept." Luo Jin and Fang Mingyuan said.He has been in the three northeastern provinces for a long time, and he is also a son of an official. He naturally knows that the top leaders of the Soviet Union have changed several times, which has affected a large number of senior officials. It is also commonplace.

"He asked for 20 rubles, or [-] U.S. dollars, and Japanese yen and British pounds of the same value are also acceptable!" Luo Jin hesitated, "No bargaining!"

20 rubles, or [-] U.S. dollars, the Japanese yen and British pound of the same value, can be regarded as a considerable amount of money. Using so much money to buy a bunch of medals, even Luo Jin himself has to think about it.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment. Although there was a lot of money, it was nothing to him, but he didn't bring so much cash with him.Moreover, looking at the desolate look of the old man, he also has some compassion. If he is given rubles, the depreciation tide of the Soviet Union's ruble will soon kick off, and in the old man's condition, he doesn't think , when the time comes, he will have the ability to exchange all the money into US dollars or other currencies.In any case, the old man beat the Japanese devils back then, and based on this, he should give him some preferential treatment.Thirty thousand dollars is only half of the auction price of a first-class Kutuzov medal in the future, and there are two first-class Kutuzov medals in this wooden box.People should not be too greedy.

"No problem!" Fang Mingyuan snapped his fingers.

Although Fang Mingyuan didn't bring that many dollars, Wu Wei and Luo Jin didn't bring many dollars either.However, the checks payable at sight by Citibank of the United States still have great effect in the State Bank of the Soviet Union.Fang Mingyuan just talked with the president in the office for 10 minutes, and when he went out, he already had an extra box in his hand.And such high efficiency was only because Fang Mingyuan had sandwiched two hundred dollar bills under the check.The president who was as fat as a rhinoceros smiled as if he saw the God of Wealth.

In the car, Fang Mingyuan handed the cash box to the old man, exchanged it for the wooden box in the old man's reluctant hand, and walked into the bank again.He didn't intend to run around with this thing, let alone bring it back to the country today. Luo Jin's prudence and the value of these medals reminded him that things must not be lost.Otherwise, if I want to receive so many medals, I'm afraid I won't have such shit luck.

It is obviously a good choice to temporarily store it in the vault of the State Bank of the Soviet Union here, and then bring it back to the country when the time is right.
