A new Defense Ministry award created by order 722 of 2014.Medal "For Merit in Maintaining Law and Order"I'm still looking for the entire order. I must admit at being a bit weary about a "military" medal having to do with law enforcement...

By order of the minister of defense of the Russian Federation number 955 of 2014, a special variant is authorized for the 70th anniversary parade.
The obverse has an image of the Order of the Patriotic War at top center and the reverse inscription "For participation in the military parade to mark the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" (Медаль «За учаÑтие в военном параде в ознаменование 70-Ð»ÐµÑ‚Ð¸Ñ ÐŸÐ¾Ð±ÐµÐ´Ñ‹ в Великой ОтечеÑтвенной войне 1941-1945 гг) below a much reduced in size ministerial bicephalic eagle.

"Possibly", (and a bit late) in relation to his 1988 official reinstatement to the rank of Fleet Admiral of the Soviet Union, the minister of defense of the Russian Federation, by order 34 of 2013, renamed the medal to: Medal "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union N.G. Kuznetsov".

Interesting recent development, by order of the minister of defense of the Russian Federation number 35 of 2013, the medal was renamed to: Medal "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union S.G. Gorshkov".

Bison, if I understand you correctly...
This is a Médaille d'honneur de l'Aéronautique niveau or from the Transport Ministry then?
Wow, this is the first one I've ever seen!

Wait a minute... I just noticed the reverse doesn't say Ministère de la Défense... Hmmm... An unrealized prototype of a new model Médaille de l'Aéronautique?

You're in the right spot. Welcome to GMIC!
That's an odd variant I've never seen before. It's a Gold level honour medal for civilian personnel of the French defence ministry working for the air force (Médaille d'honneur des personnels civils du ministère de la défense niveau or pour l'aviation). Never seen one with laurels, looks really sharp.

So far, word is only 650,000 will be produced. The previous ones were produced in the millions... The last 5 to 10 years have seen a great proportion of WW2 vets pass away.

Not yet, not even on Russian maker and/or auction sites. Maybe they're waiting for the May Day parade...?

This ribbon is a good alternative until I find the real thing... If ever.

Honestly? They look like crests a Russian trophy shop would use... Seen very similar articles on Russian (non military) maker web sites.
The badges with the building cranes look like the logos of the Russian Agency for Special Construction, and like the logo and designs from its Soviet predecessor agency.
The badge with the wrench and hammer over the column look (exactly) like the crest of the Russian Railway Troops surperimposed on the crest of the Russian Justice Ministry.
The cockade at top right bears the collar insignia of Russian infantry (ground troops), potentially, possibly a Cossack prototype badge?
You bought them?...
Hope you paid very little...? 0 -
