Needless to say, Trotsky signed the order to suppress the rebellion, and Dzerzhinsky organized the suppression. And now Commander of the 7th Army of the General Staff Tukhachevsky signed the order announcing the awards.

In very good to excellent condition. The left margin shows tiny holes and some rips where the order was de-stapled from the file, not too obvious and not detractive as they do not reach the text. The text is crisp and clear, neither blurry nor faded.
