Snoopy Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 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.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteti Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Hello DmitriThank you very much. I really appreciate it. All the best SnoopyIt 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).

Guest Rick Research Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 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 bestSnoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 The front is surprisingly dull!You are right. The document seems to need a soviet style star, over the text, or something similar. Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Compared to the 'War Veterans badge'..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. Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
