Description: Russia 2010,S/S,WW-2 Order of Victory Highest Soviet Military Award,Scott # 7212,XF MNH**OR-2 The Order of Victory (Russian: Орден "Победa", Orden "Pobeda") was the highest military decoration awarded for World War II service in the Soviet Union, and one of the rarest orders in the world. The order was awarded only to Generals and Marshals for successfully conducting combat operations involving one or more army groups and resulting in a "successful operation within the framework of one or several fronts resulting in a radical change of the situation in favor of the Red Army."In its history, it has been awarded twenty times to twelve Soviet leaders and five foreign leaders, with one revocation. There is only one surviving recipient as of 2016. The Order is made out of platinum in the form of a pentangular star with rays between the arms, measuring 72 mm in diameter. The star is studded with 174 diamonds weighing a total of 16 carats (3.2 g), while the arms of the star are made out of synthetic rubies (the need for the five stones to be of uniform color precluded the use of natural gems). In the center of the star is a silver medallion, with the Moscow Kremlin wall, the Spasskaya Tower, and Lenin's Mausoleum depicted in gold surrounded by bands of laurel and oak also colored in gold. The laurel and oak are bound with a red banner. The sky in the background is inlaid with blue enamel. Against the sky, the letters "СССР" (USSR) appear in gold centered on the top of the medallion, while the word "Победа" (Victory) is displayed on the red banner at the bottom. The total mass of the order is 78g, which consists of 47g of platinum, 2g of gold, 19g of silver, 25 carats of ruby and 16 carats of diamond. Instead of being made at a mint, each Order was made in a jeweler's workshop.List of recipients British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery (left, wearing beret) was awarded the Order of Victory on June 5, 1945.
