For most countries the embassy is for government country to country type work. A countries consulate handles affairs of it's citizens overseas. You might want to contact their consulate and see if they can/will help. Again, this varies from country to country. I suspect you may not get help from the consulate either as they would view it as a private matter or have privacy regulations that prohibit sharing of names etc.

Looks like a well worn original to my eye. I do notice the line in the window which to me indicates a type 8 but the serial number should be a type 9 according to the Mondovor site. https://mondvor-narod-ru.translate.goog/OSlava3.htm?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US

Most likely a long service award, but could be a follow up. I would say...90% chance long service award.

It's called the enshittification of the internet. They bury the most relevant search returns to keep you on longer viewing more advertisements- in this case with ebay the sponsored items.

Looks like they were on a stagnant front around Zapadnaya Litsa river in '43 if I'm reading it right. There isn't much out there in English on units so I do this: Google translate the unit name into Russian Copy/paste Russian name into Yandex Copy/paste yandex page into Goolge translate Here's a few links on the unit: https://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/ruwiki/575437 https://www.rkkawwii.ru/division/14sdf1

I believe it's fairly uncommon to get a citation like that. This is a really good one jammed with information. Well done!

Outstanding! Fascinating individual.

oh wow, that's a nice award citation.

Just as he promoted the Virgin Lands Program as a solution to the grain problem, so Nikita Khrushchev touted the expansion of corn cultivation as a solution to the livestock problem. “There will be no communism if our country has as much metal and cement as you like but meat and grain are in short supply,” he remarked in early 1954. To increase the supply of meat, Khrushchev sought at every opportunity to popularize corn as a fodder crop. http://soviethistory.msu.edu/1961-2/corn-campaign/

There was a Russian movie about it a few year back, I wouldn't recommend watching it. Horribly done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_9th_Company

Welcome to the forum! I don't believe there is a catch-all online source for serial numbers and dates awarded. These web sites can help you: https://sovietorders.com/our-services/database/ http://www.aukedevlieger.nl/index-phaleristics.htm I highly recommend the book 'Echos of War' by Paul J. Schmitt https://www.collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=13774 as for badges you can use these dealers : https://sovietorders.com/badges/ https://www.collectrussia.com/showcat.htm?cat=ExcelBadge Regards,

Same here.

Yes, I noticed his Kutusov isn't on his award card and that it has no serial number to it, a shame. I have his reissued ORB #62257 which I had researched years back and have been trying to find out more about him since. Here's a face to the name.

Andrew, I believe this is what your looking for? Order of Kutuzov 2nd class awarded to Travin Nikolai Vasilyevich (1898-1964), Major-General of Artillery. ТРАВИН Николай Васильевич

That is an eye pleasing award, colors are similar to the Red Banner of Labor.

Anyone else have opinions or thoughts on this?

Interesting piece. The serial number would indicate a screw back award, but this looks to be a Type 3, option 7 if I'm not mistaken (there are several variations that look similar) http://mondvor.narod.ru/ORbnLab2.htm My guess is a replacement/duplicate award? the serial number engraving looks good to my eyes, but why add the '0's before the number 987? I can't comment on the award booklet, those are a minefield to me. I look forward to hearing other opinions on this!

Nice pick ups. Thanks for posting them.

Original post/thread is old, but this medal is a fake if it's not already apparent.

I'm not an expert but I think it looks good. Anyone else have some thoughts?
