The Ushakov Medal, Part Two

[@JamesMcMorrow-u8u]

Another instructive and facinating video on a Soviet award. Thank you Igor for that and your lesson on researching Soviet awards. It is very helpful. I am looking forward to your video on the Order of Lenin.

Glad it was interesting to you and thanks for watching! We have an episode on the Nakhimov Medal coming up next Sunday morning.

I am VERY happy to see Igor on youtube. That said, 2 hours+ and 2 parts on such an uncommon medal and pricey item is, respectively, silly, IMHO. I'm a US-based Soviet phalerist since ~2000, have bought from Collect Russia, and am a contributor on many major medals forums. On social media right now the biggest focus is on "research" (aside from the 'is my gas mas OK(wtf?)' or 'is my EM cap good' posts.
