The Order of Victory of Socialism (Romanian: "Ordinul «Victoria» Socialismului") was the highest distinction in the Socialist Republic of Romania. This socialist order had no knights but rather several degrees. The 2nd degree was decorated with diamonds and gave the owner the right to bear the title of Hero of the Socialist Republic of Romania.[1][2]
Description
