Description
Soviet Order of the Red Star #1596435 with document
Awarded to Captain Alexander Danilovich Zubchenko (Александр Данилович Зубченко)
Soviet Order of the Red Star; Made of silver and enamels. Measures 48.11 mm in width, 46.43 mm in height and weighs 31.1 gram without its screwplate. The mint mark is located above, and the serial number underneath the screw post.
This original order is in excellent condition. The higher laying parts like the soldier show medium wear although most details are still visible. The enamel is problem free and only shows some microscopic contact marks. The screwplate is time period to the order and the screw has not been shortened.
The order comes with its award booklet which is in excellent condition with all pages firmly attached to the cover. Unfortunately a scammer added 3 entries after the Red Star in order to sell those awards as being part of a group. I crossed those entries out to prevent future misuse of this scheme.
Brief and specific description of the personal feat or merits
“Working as a propagandist in a hospital section with 600-800 wounded recovering men, he proved himself as a good organiser and a persistent officer, who is capable of combining party-political work with enforcing strict military discipline and order in the hospital section.
Despite his poor state of health, comrade ZUBCHENKO works long shifts, sometimes 20 hours, and dedicates all his energy for political education and combat training of the lightly wounded recovering Red Army personnel. Despite the 100% overcrowding of the hospital section, comrade ZUBCHENKO managed to unite the hospital personnel, which is executing excellently their medical work and providing proper medical treatment to the sick and wounded.”
