Soviet Foreign medal recipients

[Snoopy]

I know that this might be a stupid question, but is it common for citizens of former Soviet states, still to be awarded russian medals? A couple of days ago, a friend gave me a medal, with what I believe is a ukrainian document.

That was quite normal-- in 1995. I have ONLY seen Russian and Ukrainian issued documents for the common/shared medal, so don't know if there were other Republican-specific paprwork issued.

No idea what was done for the 2005 ones.

This was an OFFICIAL award and not to be confused wth the lunatic vanity trinkets sold since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Hello Rick

Thank you very much, for the information. I am new to collecting soviet/russian militaria, and I don't read russian, so I am allways full of questions.

The same happened with the 1996 Zhukov Medal - I have a Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian document for this medal.

It was still the case in 2005... I've got a cased medal for 60 years of victory with Ukrainian document that I've received as a gift from a relative in Ukraine. They were awarding them in the spring of 2005 and there was some leftovers... so he was kind enough to think about me! This is why the document is not filled (they were pre-filled and were just missing the awardee name to be entered at the local awarding site).

Here's the Belarusian document..

Never seen those other Republic issues before, since all my sources were from the Ukraine.

That's a decent fitted box for the 60th anniversary medal.

Here's the Belarusian document..

That's a nice document. What does the front of the document look like? Is it similar to the soviet douments?

All the best

The front is surprisingly dull!

Compared to the 'War Veterans badge'..

You are right. The document seems to need a soviet style star, over the text, or something similar.

Wow, that's a great set. I have never seen that one before.

Hmmmmm, I must admit that I have not seen much at all, since I am new to this collecting field.
