Is this Russian source image from AH's bunker perhaps?

Looks about as bad as this (a commie thing)
The Korean General in the center can't even access his
hip pockets anymore...pinned shut with these breast stars!
Same comment for the ugly way over-sized visors!

This trend is also popular in Africa

some liked "old-style" I suppose. Does not bother me really

Have those generals won some of theirs awards on the field along with theirs men, or just playing Risiko?

Obviously Nazi Germany invented new wave of design "MINIMAL" i personally belive that during that period germans come up with great new idea Minimize to Maximize

All these oversized awards on Marshall Konev chest are not Russian, (all foreign origin). Without them his chest would look much cleaner (see picture below). Also don't forget that this guy won a lot of battles of world war 2 and it is just a studio photo where he is posing with all his awards for history, they did not wear it everyday So no comparison can be made with these Chinese or African "warlorlds"

Nice photo, looks like he is wearing his US Legion of Merit neck
order as a chest medal, in the same photo with just Soviet awards,
it is kind of like a Cold War era version without all the foreign stuff.

to be a Cold War edited version - note belt gaps from deleted foreign?

My friend you are funny I just quickly edited/ removed non-Russian awards, so no Cold War involved

[Eddie]

those foreign awards was erased in photoshop,here is his picture wearing only Russian awards, this picture is showing his tunic a little better,very high quality and excellent design.
