In addition to being well-made and exquisitely made, the medals of the Soviet era also have a feature, that is, the naming of many medals is actually a continuation of some medals of the Tsarist Russia period, or it is said that they are named after some famous military generals of the Tsarist Russia period.

For example, the Alexander Nevsky Medal, formerly known as the Imperial Order of St. Alexander Nevsky, awarded by the Empress Catherine I of the Russian Empire in 1725, was awarded to Russian nationals for outstanding contributions to the country, mainly in political or military fields.

Alexander Nevsky, Russian commander and statesman, successively served as Duke of Novgorod and Grand Duke of Vladimir. His struggle against the Swedish invaders and the German Livonian Knights 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 later became known as the "Battle on the Ice". Later Russian historians often commented that the war saved the Russian nation.

After October, the Order of the Empire of St. Alexander Nevsky was abolished by the Soviet government. And during World War II, when Nazi Germany's armies 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 named after Kutuzov, a Russian marshal during the Tsarist Russia period, a famous Russian general, and a military strategist, who led the Russian ** team to repel Napoleon's army in 1812 and won the Russo-French War. It is mainly awarded to military chiefs and commanders who are good at jihua and carry out the campaigns of the front and group armies, or skillfully avoid the enemy's surprise attack of their own troops and smoothly carry out the counter-assault.

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

"The Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky of the 1st degree!" Fang Mingyuan repeated, the Bogdan Khmelnitsky Medal is named after Bogdan Khmelnitsky, the outstanding military commander of Tsarist Russia, and was established by the Soviet Union to begin the expulsion of the occupying forces from the territory of Soviet Ukraine, and the medal is mainly awarded to servicemen and partisans who have made meritorious contributions in the battle against the German army. Fang Mingyuan remembers very well that the commander of the group army at that time, Major General Danilov, was the first recipient of the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky of the first class.

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

"There's something down there. Luo Jin noticed that there was a piece of paper in the box, and Fang Mingyuan noticed that at the bottom of the box, there was a certificate of medals.

The medal was awarded in 1944 to a major general named Clevelley for his bravery in the battle against the German invaders. "Rozin's Russian is okay, but Russian is almost meaningless. I can only see a general meaning.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, if he knew the specific person who received the medal, the value of this medal would be much higher than that of those who didn't know who it belonged to in the first place. This is like an ancient painting in China, if it has been collected by a celebrity, it will be more valuable.

The first medal is so meaningful, so that Fang Mingyuan has a greater interest in other medals collected by the old man, according to the habits of Chinese people, the more good things are, the more they should be kept for zuihou. I don't know if this old Soviet man is the same?

Fang Mingyuan glanced at Khodorkovsky, if that was really the case, it would not necessarily be a good thing that his deal with the old man fell into the eyes of this Soviet master.

As if seeing Fang Mingyuan's scruples, Khodokowsky took the initiative to say: "Three bosses, you take your time here, I'll make tea for a few people." With that, he went headlong into the kitchen.

"Order of Kutuzov of the 1st Degree!" The second box gave Fang Mingyuan an even bigger surprise.

"Order of Suvorov of the 1st Degree!" The medal in the third box made Fang Mingyuan gasp again, which was named after the great Russian commander-in-chief, Generalissimo Suvorov, and awarded the medal to the military chief and commander who annihilated the enemy's superior forces during the offensive. The first person to be awarded the Order of Suvorov of the 1st degree was the famous Marshal of the Soviet Union Zhukov. Before the creation of the Order of Victory, the Order of Suvorov of the 1st degree was the highest military merit medal of the Soviet Union. Its preciousness can be imagined.

…… In the following time, the wooden box of the old man Nakhimov gave Fang Mingyuan a great surprise, in this wooden box, in addition to the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of Victory, the Order of Lenin, and the Golden Star Medal, almost all the major medals and medals that the Soviet Union had ever awarded, even the Order of Ushakov, the Order of Pavel Nakhimov, the captain's medal specially awarded to the captain of the submarine, and the medal awarded to the heroic mother. And the most commendable thing is that about half of these medals and medals carry certificates.

Fang Mingyuan took a few deep breaths and calmed down his excitement. These medals, in terms of value, are nothing to Fang Mingyuan today, but in terms of their historical value, how can they be measured purely by money. You know, many of these medals are decades old, and the Soviet government, which has a population of hundreds of millions, has only awarded two or three hundred medals in total.

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

"Bought them all?" Luo Jin and Wu Wei said in unison in surprise. Although the two of them could see it just now, Fang Mingyuan seemed to be a little excited, but they didn't expect him to want to serve it in a pot.

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

"I say, brother, aren't you worried that these things are fake?" Rozin said in a low voice. Although there are not as many people who make fakes in Lao Maozi as in Huaxia, it is not for nothing. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of whatever!

"It's okay, if it's fake, I'll let them spit out all of it to me!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Even if only half of these medals are of lower value than they are genuine, this time they did not come to Khodorkovsky in vain. Even if all of them are lost, it is nothing to him today, anyway, the next step is to slaughter the Soviet Union fiercely. It's not bad for this money.

"Fang Shao, otherwise, let Brother Luo ask him about the origin of these medals. Wu Wei said on the side.

It didn't take long for Rozin to inquire clearly, the old man was originally a colonel in the Siberian Military District of the Soviet Union, and he liked to collect these medals and medals. Although married, he had no children and no daughters in his life, and that little salary was put into the collection in addition to the necessities of life. These medals and medals have been accumulated little by little over the years.

"It's possible, don't look at these people who have been awarded medals are all generals, marshals or something, but once they fall in the political struggle, it's normal that these things can't be saved. Luo Jin and Fang Mingyuan said. He has been in the three northeastern provinces for a long time, and he is the son of an official eunuch, so he naturally knows that there have been several changes in the top leadership of the Soviet Union, which have affected a large number of high-ranking officials, including the military, of course, so it is common for the families of these people to not be able to keep the medals they had during their lifetimes.

"He offered 200,000 rubles, or 30,000 dollars, and the same value of yen and pounds can also be used!" Rozin hesitated, "No bargaining!"

200,000 rubles, or 30,000 dollars, the same value of yen, pounds, is also a considerable amount, with so much money to buy a bunch of medals, even Rozin 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 old man's desolate appearance, he also had some compassion, if he was given rubles, it would not be long before the tide of ruble depreciation in the Soviet Union would begin, and in the condition of the old man, he did not think that when the time came, he would be able to exchange all this money for dollars or other currencies. Anyway, after all, the old man had beaten the Japanese devils back then, and on this basis, he should also give a little preferential treatment. $30,000 is only one-half of the auction price of a future Kutuzov Medal of the First Class, and in this wooden box, there are two Kutuzov Medals of the First Class. People should not be too greedy.

"No problem!" Fang Mingyuan snapped his fingers.

Although Fang Mingyuan didn't bring so many dollars, Wu Wei and Luo Jin didn't bring many dollars either. However, Citibank's checks at sight still had a great effect in the National Bank of the Soviet Union. Fang Mingyuan only talked with the president in the office for ten minutes, and when he went out, he already had an extra box in his hand. And such high efficiency is just that Fang Mingyuan also sandwiched two hundred-dollar bills under the check. The president, who was so fat that he had a fight with a rhinoceros, smiled as if he had seen 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. He didn't plan to run around with it, let alone bring it back to China today, Rozin's prudence and the value of these medals reminded him that there was no room for error. Otherwise, if you want to receive so many medals, I am afraid that I will not have this shit luck.

Storing it in the vault of the National Bank of the Soviet Union for the time being, and then bringing it back home when the time is right, is obviously a very good choice.
