message: Hi i am from Türkiye. I think i saw a mistake. I know that only Georgy Zhukov was given Hero of the Soviet Union medals as four times. Leonid Brezhnev was awarded 3 times. The medal at the right in his photo is not Hero of the Soviet Union medal. It is Hero of Socialist Labor medal. Not only becouse of photos i also know it from the museum in Kiev. This museum is under Motherland statue and at the fourth floor it is written on the wall that only Georgy Zhukov was awarded for four times. I visit there several times. http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kullan%C4%B1c%C4%B1:Devrimdpt —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.252.253.247 (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Brezhnev did, in fact, receive the Hero of the Soviet Union four times, as referenced in this plaque: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brezhnev_plaque.jpg .  He wore five star medals of two different kinds: four medals of Hero of the Soviet Union, and one star for Hero of Socialist Labor. --Ericdn (talk) 21:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

message: E. Puusepp is listed twice. I think he should be only listed among "domestic" recipients as at the time of decoration he was a citizen of USSR, but nevertheless he was Estonian and not Soviet.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.97.48.83 (talk) 21:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: POV problem?  From the end of World War II until Estonian independence from the USSR, all Estonians living in the Estonian SSR or elsewhere in the USSR were Soviet citizens.  More to the point, if he received the Hero of the Soviet Union award, chances are he wasn't anti-Soviet, at least at the time. --Ericdn (talk) 21:51, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The flags next to two Spanish-born recipients (Rubén Ibárruri and Ramón Mercader) show the Spanish flag of the 2nd republic (1931-1939)  which seems to make no sense.  If all the flag icon is saying is that "these men were Spanish" then shouldn't it be the current spanish flag?   That seems to be more cosnistent with the guidelines, as the point is that they were Spanish, not something to do with the 2nd Republic.
:Common practice on Wikipedia is to recognize people for their achievements under the flag that they were under at the time. For example, the East German recipients are shown with the East German flag, even though they would live in reunited Germany under the German flag if they were alive today. By the same token, a German general from World War I would be given the old Imperial German flag, not an anachronistic modern German flag, and a general from the Nazi era would get the swastika flag. 72.148.45.37 (talk) 12:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In the second verse of the Russian version of the Internationale, which was the Soviet national anthem until 1944, it says "No one will grant us deliverance,
Not god, nor tsar, nor hero." I would be interested to hear how that was reconciled with the title "Hero of the Soviet Union". Gingekerr (talk) 19:14, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
