Soviet Need help with a badge and medals

[Snoopy]

Hello

I have just returned from a trip to Riga. I bought these items very cheap, from a street vendor. I wonder if anyone can tell me what they are, and if it's just something made for tourists. Thank's in advance.

All the best

First ugly little badge (never seen that before) is for Excellent GUARD/SENTRY Service in whatever that organization is or was. It's in Russian.

Zhukov Medal was handed out to all WW2 veterans alive in 1996.

The Labor Veteran was given to anyone in a civilian job on retirement.

Both are quite common.

Thank you very much guys. The badge is actually not that small. It's the size of a medal. I think that the face of the soldier, looks a bit like the monster from the Alien movies.

Hi Marc & Snoopy,

Post 1 & 2 would be a badge for Excellent Military service in the PribVO (the former Baltic Military District)

:Cat-Scratch: DOH!!!! It is sooooo ugly I assumed some version of the VOKhR or similar semi-civilian outfit.... Brain never clicked on the Military District abbreviation.

I've never seen another one like that.

Yep, sometimes, one thinks too hard to figure things out. Thanks Eddie!
