Russian Federation Awards of Russian Federation 1991 - Present

[HuliganRS]

It would appear that there is interest in these so here's some shots of my small collection.

These awards are so new that it's very difficult finding them in the wild.

This is my highest award, Medal for Merit to the Country 2nd class civilian division:

[HuliganRS]

Order for Military Merit.

There's also one for Naval Merit.

[HuliganRS]

This is the Order for Courage.

[HuliganRS]

Medal for Bravery.

It looks almost identical to it's Soviet counterpart but is missing the CCCP inscription on the bottom and is made out of a cheaper German Silver.

[HuliganRS]

This is the Nesterov Medal.

[HuliganRS]

This is the Ushakov Medal.

[HuliganRS]

Here's an interesting one!

This is the offically struck Medal of Nakhimov that was never approved by the government but was struck by the mint in anticipation of it being approved! The whole batch was ordered to be destroyed but a few pieces made it out the back door and there are a few dozen in the wild.

[HuliganRS]

Life Saving Medal.

This is another one of the medals that left the mint through the back door and was not engraved.

[HuliganRS]

Medal for Bravery during a fire.

[HuliganRS]

Medal for 850 years of Moscow.

Although I don't collect any Russian stuff (yet), these are nice items with an interesting blend of Soviet and Imperial designs and motifs.

Where do you find current Russian awards?

[HuliganRS]

Medal for 60 year anniversary to WWII

[HuliganRS]

Here are the 2 variations of the post-Soviet Union Border Guard Medal.

1st Medal is the transitional piece that looks just like the Soviet one except it's missing the CCCP

[HuliganRS]

Here's the official Russian Federation version.

[HuliganRS]

Here's 2 versions of the Medal for Protection of Public Order

1st one looks like the Soviet one except the reverse has a different crest.

[HuliganRS]

Here's the official Russian Federation medal.

Notice that the medal has the Imperial look to it.

[HuliganRS]

That's all I have here for now...

There are a few more medals that I have at home but have not had a chance to take pictures of...

Enjoy,

Rusty.

David,

I've been collecting these for as long as I've been collecting Soviet Union awards! and this is all I was able to find.

They come-up on eBay once in a blue moon and from some good dealers.

300th of RF Navy. I was lucky to get it with an issued document.

[Danny]

50 years of the GPW with issued document.

[Danny]

100 years of Zhukov.

[Danny]

A RF badge: Excellent bridge builder, so I am told.

[HuliganRS]

Danny,

It's more like a roadbuilder badge.

Thanks for posting the other medals that I don't have scans for.

There are a few more that I still need to post...

Thanks for the clarification Rusty. I have a 850 years of Moscow and a 60th of GPW. That's it for RF medals. I've also a 60th partisan medal on hold from Ron which I will get this month. Will be looking for more this year that's for sure.
