Ed,

What is that badge?

Paul

It's a military school badge for an academy graduating Lieutenants (1957 to 1961).

#s 5 and 6 are the award booklet for the little lieutenants' school badge up top above the long service medals, which is the unified type from late 1950s. This is quite interesting-- I have never seen the paperwork for one of these before-- because it refers to officers graduating from "normal military schools." (In Olde Dayse here a "Normal School" graduated school teachers.)

The stamp (I will work at it) from that is something Radio-Technical School (of Anti-Aircraft Defense-- "PVO" I think), signed by Major General of EngTechSvcs Morin on 19.9.58, per decree of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR 20.9.58, as a graduate in 1958 for

Anatoly Petrovich Kostylev.

The stamp is partially illegible from missing ink.

#3 is his full set of long service medals,

10 years as Kapitan, 24.1.66/12.3.66 signed by CO of Unit 01644 Colonel Guzh

15 years 6.12.71/22.2.72 by CO of Unit 67960 Colonel Bur'yakov (or Bur'yanov)

20 years same unit and commander, dates 2.2.77/22.2.77

So he went in in 1956, born ? 1937-ish, Lieutenant 1958, probably Sr Lt ca 1961, Captain by 1966... probably a Lt Col.

#4 is the Medals Booklet to him for a Military Merit Medal awarded 21.2.78/7.4.78 which might be quite interesting.

I don't think school cadets were eligible for the 1958 armed forces jubilee medal. But you're missing the 1978 MMM, 1965 and 1968, probably 1970 Lenin, and 1978 jubilees.

I think this is Air Force.

Well . . . .

Research is in. And it will be interesting. Though some things we don't know (can't know?).

The group is, alas, very broken.

Shall post with the light of a new day.

Well, let me put them up anyway. No translations, so I'll need help.

Please. Pretty please.

[Ed_Haynes]

The reverse.

Need to see if I can get the recommendation on this. Not knowing it existed, I didn't ask.

[Ed_Haynes]

The other award record card.

[Ed_Haynes]

The reverse.

According to the research provider: "Commendation for the Medal is confidential." Guess I'll just need to keep trying?

[Ed_Haynes]

Service record, part 1.

There are many blank sections. These aren't posted (but could be).

And the final bit.

If anyone sees this post, can read the materials, and is willing to help, I'd be VERY grateful.

Thanks in advance.

He retired 18 November 1988 Per Para 59/Point 5 which was presumably in this case the "up or out" age limit having reached age 50.

Thanks, Rick. I find it interesting that the MMM recommendation was "confidential". Need to try for the (missing) other as it might help, among the boilerplate.
