Starovoytov on Russian language Wikipedia edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I considered translating the equivalent Starovoytov article from the Russian language Wikipedia, but there were no sources cited, and two of the three external links were dead. Here are some facts on it that I could not source:

Order of Honor - 1996 Medal "For Military Merit"
1944 SU Medal For Distinguished Labor ribbon, "For the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945."
born in Smolensk, Russian Empire, died in Moscow, Russia
engaged in speed skating
played hockey on the Spartak trade union team.
elected to the Russian Hockey Hall of Fame 2004
Awarded the medal "For Labor Difference" 1976.
interred at Golovin cemetery

If anyone could source these claims, it would be greatly appreciated! Flibirigit (talk) 18:03, 24 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

He possibly received the Silver Olympic Order in 1986, along with William Thayer Tutt of the USA. Any sources are appreciated. Flibirigit (talk) 19:22, 24 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
