On November 8, 1943, the two most significant orders were established in the Soviet Union -. "Victory" for senior commanders and "glory" for privates and sergeants. The Order of Victory was not only the most prestigious, but also the rarest and most expensive: each of them required 300 grams of platinum and at least 180 diamonds and rubies. A total of 22 Victory Orders were made, two of which were never awarded. Order No. 1 was awarded to Zhukov. 5 orders of victory were awarded to the commanders of the allied forces; It was received by Tito, Rulia-Zzymerski, Eisenhower, Montgomery and Michael I. Brezhnev was the last to receive the order in 1978, but in 1989 Gorbachev signed an order denying this award from the General Secretary as "contrary to the law of the order". Video not loading?
