Russian Federation 50 y comm WW2 booklet help

Can anyone translate the written information for me on this booklet?

What we have been able to find out so far (any corrections welcome):

Name: Petro Danilovich Mandzibura

Date 29 ?????? 1995

That's not Russian-- it's the Ukrainian issue.

Lovely, poetic language. That is "Blossom Month"-- April.

With all respect it is Russian Federation medal, instituted on June 7th 1993 by decree nr 5336-1 of the President of the Russian Federation:

Russian Federation 50 years

Can I conclude from your answer that this Russian Federation Medal was issued to an Ukranian Veteran? And is the booklet in total Ukranian or just the writing on it.?

And did we translate the name correct?

Name

That is as I said the Ukrainian Republic issue, pre-printed Presidium of the Ukraine title and seal just over the date, and with their own national issue bilingual cover design prominently featuring the revived Ukrainian trident emblem:

After the lines about being awarded the medal, in Ukrainian under the recipient's name, the rest is in Russian.

The Russian Federation issue award document has a different cover and of course is ONLY in Russian.

Presumably the other successor Republics (White Russia and so on) may have had their own national issues, but since this is beyond my usual interests, the only groups I have for old WW2 veterans all happen to be from the Ukraine like yours.

The medals are of course all the same, but the presentation paperwork is by successor Republic issue to each new state's residents.

Aha, many thanks this clears a lot for me.

Out of interest, here is a Belarusian issue of the same document.

Nice do you also have a scan of the reverse of the booklet? Nice to see the difference.
