Best as I can say the lower document is a pass for transport department of NKGB USSR of Lvov Railroads issued to Seargeant Duchenko Roman (patronym illegible)

The upper document is a certificate of award for active participation of work awarded by Volonteers Society of Assistance to Soviet Army (DOSAAF). Signature appears to be of Marshal of Soviet Union C.M. Budyonny.

If its a signature not a stamp it could be an interesting document. If you wanna see more about the guy just check this link:

I just looked at the docs and based on the content tried to explain what they are. Cannot be the one to say whether it comes with a medal or badge as I have not seen anything of the sort before. But the name did catch my attention and I thought I'd look it up. Beyond that.....I hope someone else throws more light on them for ya!

I think this (post 7) is a membership book in the Spartak Sports Society, or what we might call a club. There should be pages with provisions for annual membership stamps behind the page you showed us. I'm pretty sure it still exists. It was one of the oldest. Others included Dinamo, Lokomotiv, Shakter, and many others, usually under the umbrella of a sponsoring workers' professional association. Let me know if you decide to collect these as a theme. I've got a few around here.

Yes, I think it entitles the recipient to five rubles a month based on a medal he/she was awarded.

I'll look for some other sports club membership books. I know I have a few. In fact, these two Shakter books were sitting right here under my computer monitor. The pin is either a membership pin or a conference pin, I'm not sure.

And here's where the annual stamps go.

We don't talk much about sports and sports awards here. I don't exactly know why. Sure, they aren't military, but they are Soviet (and other) awards and they have some interesting history, especially with the Soviet Union, where government was a part of everything.

Do you -- does anyone -- know whether sports awards are allowable on GMIC and, if they are, which forum would be appropriate to share Soviet sports awards? I have only posted one, my shooting champion's national team sash with badges and medals, but I have some more.

I have always thought that Soviet sports awards would be an interesting theme to collect. I haven't made an organized effort to do so, mostly because of the sheer size of the universe of awards. You could almost devote a sub-forum to the subject here. Any other thoughts on the subject?

Related to that, of course, are the sports clubs like Shakter that we are discussing here. I have some pretty rare old variations of sports club badges. Not many of them, rarity being what it is, but some.

Wow

The stamp in the bottom one looks nicer than what I was expecting

As to how they fit in to GMIC, Im not sure

But Im sure it could turn into a facinating thread , though not a collector of Sports awards, Iam developig a un-healthy facination of Soviet Documents, so Im sure I must have some documents to add.

Eh, throw 'em in with any OTHER awards, just as is.

Problem is, IF there are reference books on these, I don't know about them.

So much to know, and so little information to go by...

which is why it is ALWAYS good to post things and see what else comes out too.
