Sergey,
Here's nice State Prize group that I have in my collection. These are Stalin Prize replacements. Group of 3 documented State Prize Medals, two 2nd and 3rd class, to the same recipient. Includes: - Two 2nd class State Prize Medals, - One 3rd cl State Prize Medal, - Small Gramotas for all three medals, - Order of October Revolution with document dated 1971. Small Gramotas were all issued to Evgeniy Komar in July 1962. They actually were given as a replacement for much earlier Stalin Prizes that he received in 1948, 1951 and 1953 accordingly. Interestingly, although it clearly says in the books that "The State Prize was issued in 1948, 1952 and 1953" no such award even existed then. Those were undoubtedly Stalin Prizes, 2nd-3rd cl. A new documents without any mentioning of Stalin was issued to him in 1962 - in a typical Soviet re-invention of history. It's interesting to read the commendation for his awards. The one from 1948 is for "invention of turbogenerator ... with hydrogen-based cooling". For the other two higher 2nd cl Prizes the description is more vague - say “for execution of the special task of the government” – code phrase that always covered a military related research or industrial project. When I bought this group, I was told that this scientist was involved in some sort of H-Bomb-related project. I am not sure whether I should believe that or not, but the dates of his awards correspond to the dates when Soviet Union was working on it's first nuclear devices. I guess I'll know the answer when I'll run some research on this group. Best regards, New World Last edited by new world; 07-26-2002 at 10:50 AM. |

The folders for the Gramotas for 3rd and 2nd class State Prizes are covered in nice leather with gold embosing "Diploma for the Winner of State Prize of the USSR".
Second picture is the cover of the actual Gramota. Last edited by new world; 07-22-2002 at 01:58 PM. |

Inside of 3rd and 2nd class State Prizes.
Note the dates of initial issue of the Prizes - 1948, 1951 and 1953 - the original Stalin Prizes. They all were replaced in 1962 for State Prizes. Last edited by new world; 07-22-2002 at 02:03 PM. |

Great pieces with wonderful provenance, thanks for posting them. I understand that the State Prize continues to this day. Does anyone have an exemplar of the current version?
