    The Soviet Medal you got was actually the Medal "For Distinguished Labour", which is *not* a military medal; it is a civilian medal, awarded to labourers who distinguished themselves with high production rates or for development of culture/science/manufacturing.

    "I thought Halva was a Middle Eastern thing..."
    With 12 timezones, they can be wherever they want to be. But as far as the Middle Eastern thing, I'd like to remind you that Chechnya and Dagastan are both very close to Iran.

      Halva is also there in India. So, I am guessing it would also be in Iran.

    4:26 Its not a military medal, it says "Trudovoe Otlichie" which means that whoever earned that did especially well in working on something... (I don't know how to explain it better). The literal translation is "Working Speacialty" or something like that. (I speak Russian).

    Hey Barbs. I have an IDEA! ;)
    When you finish the UN recognized countries (alphabetically) or in the 'filler' weeks, would you mind to do some special episodes for countries that don't exist anymore, like:
    Soviet Union, 1922-1991.
    East Germany, 1949-1990.
    Czechoslovakia, 1918-1992.
    Yugoslavia, 1918-1992.
    Austro-Hungary, 1867-1918.
    Tibet, 1913-1951.
    South Vietnam, 1955-1975.
    United Arab Republic, 1958-1971.
    Ottoman Empire, 1299-1922.
    etc....

    Yepp, we Russian sure do love the halva (халва). (: Also, I live in Sweden and we do have both skumbananer and ajvar. I eat ajvar with almost every meal, to be honest. By the way, it's really cool that you got a Soviet medal! I think my grandfather had one of those, actually, and another one with Lenin on it. :p
