The Medal of Zhukov Gentlemen speaking about the medals of the Russian Federation we should mention here the Medal celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Zhukov , The Medal of Zhukov (Russian: медали Жукова) is a state award of the Russian Federation initially awarded to veterans of the Great Patriotic War but now awarded to serving members of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It is named in honour of Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov, the most decorated general in the history of the Soviet Union. The Medal of Zhukov was established on May 9, 1994 by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No 930. The medal's statute was defined on December 30, 1995 by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No 1334. The initial statute of the award stated the medal was to be awarded to military and civilian veterans of the Red Army, the Navy, of NKVD troops, guerrillas and members of the underground, for bravery, fortitude and courage displayed in fighting against the Nazi invaders or the Japanese militarists, and to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Georgy Zhukov. The basis for award of the medal was simple proof of direct participation in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 as part of the army, or in combat against Japan. It could also be awarded to servicemen of the Ministry of Defence and other ministries and departments, in which Russian law provides for military service, for courage and bravery displayed in combat operations in defence of the Motherland and the public interests of the Russian Federation. Although established in Russia, the Medal of Zhukov was later adopted by and also established in all of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States by decision of the Council of the Heads of State of May 26, 1995. Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No 1099 of September 7, 2010[1] completely revamped the Russian state awards system including a new statute for the Medal of Zhukov. The Medal of Zhukov is now awarded to soldiers for bravery, selflessness and personal courage in fighting for the protection of the Motherland and the public interests of the Russian Federation, for distinction in military bearing during service, for alertness and active participation in exercises and manoeuvres, for excellent performance in combat training. The Russian Federation Order of Precedence dictates the Medal of Zhukov is to be worn on the left breast with other medals immediately after the Medal of Ushakov. The Medal of Zhukov is a circular, 32mm in diameter brass medal. On the obverse, the bust of marshal Zhukov, his head half turned to the right, on his uniform, four stars of Hero of the Soviet Union and a Marshal's Star around his neck. Below the bust along the medal's lower circumference, two branches of oak and laurels. Above the bust, along the medal's upper circumference, the relief inscription "GEORGY ZHUKOV" (in Russian "ГЕОРГИЙ ЖУКОВ"). The medal's original reverse, as mandated by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of March 6, 1995 No 243,[6] bore at its center the large relief years "1896 - 1996" and oak and laurel branches at the bottom following the medal's lower circumference. Some makers produced a variant of the medal with a smaller inscription (1896 - 1996) and added a relief "N" and a line for an award serial number. More than 2.5 million were awarded. Following the 2010 amendment[1] to its statute, the reverse of the Medal of Zhukov now bears the relief inscription "FOR EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE" (in Russian "ЗА ОТЛИЧИЕ В СЛУЖБЕ") in the center, below the inscription, a relief "N" and a line for an award serial number. At the bottom, along the medal's lower circumference, oak and laurel branches. The medal is suspended to a standard Russian pentagonal mount by a ring through the medal's suspension loop. The mount is covered by an overlapping 24mm wide silk moiré ribbon, the left half of the ribbon is red, the right half of the ribbon is in the colours of the Ribbon of Saint George. An interesting fact is that the image of Marshal Zhukov on the medal has an error , as you know , has been awarded four times the Star of Hero of the Soviet Union ( the third and the fourth star was awarded in June 1945 and December 1956). On the currency in which it is depicted on the medal, there are the four gold stars, but this type of uniform ( single-breasted, with stand-up collar ) was abolished in 1945. As a result, a similar picture can be represented with only two stars from Hero of the Soviet Union or at most three . There are four known variants of the medal Var 1 - on the flip side in the branches of oak and laurel brand ММД is the identifier of the Mint of Moscow Var 2 - is better bill and on the back of the ring is stamped the initials of the mint ЛМД identification of Leningrad Var 3 - on the back of the medal there is an N and a line to enter the serial number and the brand has ММД Var 4 - on the back of the medal there is an N and a line to enter the serial number and has the word " ЗА ОТЛИЧИЕ В СЛУЖБЕ " (Distinguished Service) About to the documents there are altogether seven variants , the medal was not awarded only to Russia but also to other states . Russia, Kazakhstan , Belarus, Ukraine , Moldova and Transnistria and finally the leather doc for personalities, with a serial number. Here we see three of the four variants of the medals, unfortunately about the Var 4 i haven't found pictures on internet. the variants of documents The Document of the Russian Federation The Document of Kazakhstan The Document of the Republic of Belarus The Document of Ukraine The Document of Moldova The Document of Transnistria The Document for the Variant 3 and 4 with serial number --- --- ---

ohh nice news Nick thanks

Unfortunately thousands of unofficial RF medals lack both completely ... What you mean Nick

Oh my god other 6? hmm i think in the moment i am ok with this medal+doc Yes Nick i know about the existence of others versions but change only the stamp and the signature, the document aesthetically remains the same,, i dont know maybe in the future i will search others docs

Thank you for the advice Paul hope one day you will show us your cabinet i am very curious to see Nick you mean that for not expensive medal is not needed a cabinet? if you mean this I do not agree with you, a collection, as all the various collections in the world are made up of many pieces put together with dedication and passion by the collector, because he loves his medals and his orders, and certainly does not want them but in a drawer but in a cabinet, in a frame, display etc. .. so no matter if a piece is worth 10 or 1000 in order to be worthy to stand in a display to the delight of the eyes. each piece for small or inexpensive as it is, has its own story to tell if you know how to read..
