Yeah, although it's not Hero of the Soviet Union medal, he recieved that one only after WW2 victory (and exactly for leading USSR during war). The one he always wore before, including on the photos you linked is Hero of Socialist Labour medal, easily distinguishable up close by slimmer star and hammer and sickle in the middle, but looking pretty similar from afar.

Ah, that's right. Very hard to tell, but in one of the photos of him it does seem to have a hammer and sickle on it.
