Russia. 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War (1964). Emperor Nicholas II. 20 july 1914-1964. Bronce; 50.0mm; 65.4g. VF Note: Few Russian medals mark the nation’s entry into World War I. Russia was one of the main participants in the struggle, suffering military and civilian losses greater than any other nation. Its unswerving support for Serbia brought it into the conflict, matched by the support it received from Francia, making the conflict truly worldwide. This war brought military defeat and destruction of centuries-old institutions and an entire economic system with the rise of Communism. Memory of the heroic events of late 1914 was kept alive by Russians in exile, notably the large emigré community that settled around Paris after the Russian Civil War of 1918 to 1921.
