Most likely Army general Varennikov http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C2%E0%F0%E5%ED%ED%E8%EA%EE%E2,_%C2%E0%EB%E5%ED%F2%E8%ED_%C8%E2%E0%ED%EE%E2%E8%F7

These are non-governmental awards issued by prefectures, towns and even villages to veterans of S-J war. Also there are commemorative jettons (sometimes in the form of medals - what made them practically indistinguishable from previous class) which could be bought by "fervent patriots".
