Hi guys..any info on this man, just bought these....thanks in advance
The medal was given to a Hero of Socialist Labour and not to a Hero of the Soviet Union. Note the hammer and sickle and the longer arms of the star.
It's not the one and the same man.
The first photo:
a Hero of Socialist Labour - Vodianitsky Grigoriy Petrovich, 13.04.1926 — 07.2002, a district scale communist leader in Soviet Ukraine.
The second one:
Handwriting on the back side of the photo: "the colonel Artemchenko Stepan Savelievich, the photo was made in april 1961. ..."
Born in 1922, he is a pilot, 6 downed planes during WW2, 6 downed during the Korean war.
Thanks Mcseam for taking the time to look into these photos....darren
It’s always interesting for me to find out something about those people who saved my country during WW2 , so thank you Darren for the photos.
