C'mon! Nothing awarded to ALL people in USSR... Even this very common medal! Awarded to ALL servicemen and civilians who served in Armed Forces 1941-1945.

In addition to war vets, "every swinging Richard" in uniform at the time was awarded. |

Re: Sorry...we ran out...
Bringing back to life an old thread as I'm getting back into documents somewhat and going through the archives as it were I stumbled across this and began wondering; what is this?
It's not a VoG doc as Dat thought but an anniversary medal doc like Paul says. I think it's a 20 year medal doc, but why the 1983 date? And more to the point why the type-written format? Is it home-made? It does have a stamp but I dunno how much that means. Just curious. Anybody have any other examples of non-standard docs like this?

Re: Sorry...we ran out...
Could well be that a certificate was forgotten to be issued back in the 60's and when they got round to issuing it they were all out. It does seem to be of a higher quality than many of the "temporary" award documents I have seen.

Re: Sorry...we ran out...
Yes, agreed. That's the most plausible scenario. Just think - a "catch up" jubilee award!

Man lost original 1965 document, asked the district military authorities and got the handtyped copy.

Re: Sorry...we ran out...
I suspect the awardee never got his 20th anniversary VOG medal due to a clerical error and never got to requesting one--until 1983. Most of us have seen firsthand how the veterans get more nostalgic with age, developing a penchant for znachki, commemorative medals, etc. To me that's more plausible.. Not sure why one would want the doc alone--so my theory is that they were requesting the medal, and the doc had to be typed up due to regulations. :)
