You just wait comrade!

I'll try to make a literary translation of citation for your medal.

Next find again - saved from the scrap silver box. This one was surely on the small kolooda...

[JapanX]

Yep.

It surely was.

on the small kolooda...

Only it is kolodka

Usually this small one is called kvadrokolodka (i.e. "quadrangle medal bar").

[Noor]

Ah, kolooda is called here in Estonia. I have been here 3 weeks already and messing up all the languages .

[JapanX]

Kolooda (only without double o) will be block, log or card batch in russian :)

From what period this last medal would be from? Archive research is ordered, so can't wait to see a result.
