Interesting diploma delivered to Czechoslovakian military in USSR. Not a common issuance!

 

 I have this same kind of diploma, but for much more common achievement : for high achievements in socialist competition and exemplary work discipline.
The interesting point is who signed this diploma: general mayor Mikhaïl Lavrentievich Dudarenko when he was head of Central Archives of the USSR ministry of Defense. He began his career in the ogpu, then Nkvd, in the border guard.

 

among his numerous awards, he received the 15th anniversary of the Cheka ogpu badge.

 

following what I found on Wikipedia.

Since March 1926, he was the head of the Pskov, Shlisselburg, Kronstadt, Sebezh and Dzharkent border detachments.
