Order of Victory
The Order of Victory, the highest order for military commanders, was instituted on 8 November 1943, during World War II. It was awarded to seventeen people, including five foreigners – three of them twice. The names of the recipients of this award are inscribed on a special memorial board in the Kremlin Palace. This is the only Soviet order to be made in a jeweler’s workshop and not at a mint
