I just got these today. A group of nine all awarded to one man; Red Army Man Chinskiy.
I'm guessing right now he was with the 2nd Ukrainian Front.


On all documents the reverse is marked:
"Отпечатано в типографии газеты Сталинская гвардия"
It is printed in newspaper printing house Stalin guards

All documents are printed with:
Командир части - Unit Commander
Начальник штаба - Chief of Staff


This first one is dated August 22, 1944

The cover: УЧАСТНИКУ БОЕВ ЗА ДНЕСТР - TO THE PARTICIPANT OF FIGHTS FOR DNESTR
During World War II, German and Romanian forces battled Soviet troops on the western bank of the river Dniester (Dnester).
Inside:
За отличные боевые действия по прорыву сильно укрепленной и развитой в глубину обороны противника южнее Бендеры гвардии
For excellent operations on break of defence of the opponent strongly strengthened and developed in depth to the south Bendery* guards

* aka the city Bender, then (1944) in Romania, currently part of Moldova. Located on the western bank of the Dniester river in the historical region of Bessarabia

The next, dated August 27, '44.

Any help with the full name and especially the unit would be very much appreciated.

The front of this document is marked:
"УЧАСТНИКУ БОЕВ ЗА ГАЛАЦ Румыния" - To the PARTICIPANT of FIGHTS FOR Galatz Romania

[Komandir RKKA]

The man had an interesting father's name - АВТОНОМОВИЧ.
It means his fathers name was АВТОНОМ - AUTONOMOUS.
