In 2010, a photograph captured the image of an elderly Russian man clutching his military uniform on his deathbed. This man was a Soviet soldier and a World War II veteran.

are the Order of Glory, 3rd Class, the Order of the Red Star, and the Order of

the Order of the Patriotic War in 1975, as it was awarded to other veterans of

medals recognizing valor or merit in combat.
