The 3 grades. Are they really for 15, 25 and 40 years? If yes, what's the "spange" at the top for? -

Russian Federation Commemorative Medal "Marshal Vasily Chuikov"
TacHel replied to TacHel's topic in Russian Federation
I couldn't agree more! When I began collecting modern Russian medals I almost went nuts. I can tell you I have a drawer full of worthless bogus, public, associative medals, even some from ministries that were awarded eventhough never approved by the ministers! Each department having its own particular awards is also nonsensical for an Armed Force so large... A medal for efficiency, OK... But a diffrent one for tankers, engineers, radiomen, submariners, etc makes no sense. I'd bet most Russian soldiers can't identify more than a minute fraction of the medals available for their service. -

TacHel replied to podpolkovnik's topic in Russian Federation
By cockade, do you mean the markings on aircraft and tanks or cap badges? -
why there arent any more russian marshals ?
TacHel replied to podpolkovnik's topic in Russian Federation
Unless Putin gifts it to minister Shoigu because he's running out of state awards to give him, I very much doubt it. The only reason I could possibly see would be if some of the now independant border states opted to combine their armed forces with Russia's...
