Maybe next to the names of the list of recipients a brief description of what their achievements were.

I need a source for Nasser being awarded the status, or I'm removing it. I can't find any mention on google, and I would think such a thing would be well-documented. Sherurcij ^{(talk) (bounties)} 05:51, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the extremely late reply :-)) but the source is [4]. Cmapm 02:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vladimir Melnik

What about Vladimir Melnik? It says on the article about the "liquidators" (workers who helped to clean up after the Chernobyl (sp?) meltdown) was awarded it for placing a radition sensor on the reactor.

[edit] First women recipients

Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was not the first woman recipient of the title - she was the first WARTIME woman recipient. The first women to be awarded with the title were Valentina Grizodubova, Polina Osipenko and Marina Raskova in 1938 - see [5].

[edit] Leonid Brezhnev

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).
