TacHel Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) It was just a matter of time. Following the dissolution of the Internal Troops (VV MVD) and establishment of the Russian National Guard on April 5, 2016 by decree of the President of the Russian Federation № 157, new departmental awards were created by Order of the National Guard of Russia № 50 of February 14, 2017. I'm presently translating the lenghty document and am already at work producing a new Wiki page. Here's a teaser below... Above - Honoured Fellow of the National Guard of Russia (highest departmental award). Left - Medal "For Distinction in Combat". Center - Decoration "For Distinction in Service". Right - Medal "For Service in Strengthening Law Enforcement". Edited April 2, 2017 by TacHel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost started crying when I saw this... I'm seriously considering going back to collecting beer labels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry T Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Is there any way for a Russian not to win any medals? This is getting just too ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Frank, I think we should recommend you for the Medal "For the Promotion of the National Guard" - as you are busy telling the medal-loving world about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bosses would L-O-O-O-O-V-E to get a phone call from the Russian consulate informing them I was being decorated by them... I'd probably lose my security clearance and get water boarded! Oh by the way... Have a looksee here: CLICK HERE TO WIKI PAGE 22 hours ago, Jerry T said: Is there any way for a Russian not to win any medals? This is getting just too ridiculous. Actually, it's pretty much the same in the USA... Look at the different service awards then add all of the states' National Guard awards, ROTC, etc... Those 2 countries really do love their bling!

Megan Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Wiki page is magnificiently informative... and bodes fair to distract me from current activities (Malawi on my site and US National Guard and British Campaign Medals on the OMSA site if you must know!).

TacHel Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 I just received the first batch... More to follow... "EXCELLENT" badges similar to the ones for the armed forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 I went through the lengthy establishment order, there are 6 more badges.
