Individual citations given for the taking of a city or cities. Last one seems to be for Warsaw.
Can you reshoot the photos to show the middle section between Stalins profile and the drawing? Then we can tell which cities these were for.

Re: information on documents '#1
I am bad with handwriting, however:
First one is in gratitude of the liberation of Shenlanke/Tshtsyanka, Lukats-Kreits/Kshizh, Boldenberg/Dobegnev and Drishin. (Four towns to the west-northwest of Poznan.) Second one is in gratitude for action in Stargard, Novogard. Third one is in gratitude for action on the Visła and Warsaw.

"Gratitude"
These two are hopefully for actions against Hitlerite invaders. Classic Stalinist propaganda at the very least.
Again, I've made no attempt to decipher these, yet. I'm just tossing them out here to generate a little interest in case anyone really cares. OK. The first image translates to: УЧАСТНИКУ БОЕВ В ВОСТОЧНОЙ ПРУССИИ ------- Приказом Верховного Главнокоиандующего Марщала Советского Союза товарища СТАЛИНА от 10 (unrecognizable) 1945 года за #272 войскам, участвовавшим в боях за овладение городом ПРЕЙСИШ АИЛАУ, об`явлена БЛАГОДАРНОСТЬ за отличные боевые действия. Командир части----- ___________________________________ To the PARTICIPANT of FIGHTS In EAST Prussia [trooper's name] by the Order of Supreme Glavnokoiandujushchego Marshchala of Soviet Union of companion STALIN from 10 (not readable) 1945 for #272 armies participating in fights for mastering by city of PREJSISH АИЛАУ*, about ` it is shown GRATITUDE for excellent operations. The commander of a part [Officer's sig.] *or Preysish Aylau ___________ ___________ ___________ Took me about a half-hour to translate this, letter by letter. Can anyone help with the blue colored parts please? I also find this about the possible town: The town of Preussisch Eylau was renamed Bagrationovsk to honour the Russian Field Marshall P.I. Bagration*, who, together with the Prussian** army under l’Estocq, fought Napoleon here on February 7-8 1807. The outcome was undecided, but still a major setback for Napoleon, who nevertheless went on to win the Battle of Friedland and conquer Königsberg. * AKA Operation Bagration (of the GPW) ** Oh the irony... Quote:
To the Participant of the battles in East Prussia [Ivan Frontovik] by the Order of Supreme & Exalted Grand Poobah of the Soviet Union comrade Stalin ...or something along those lines...:rolleyes:

Thanks for the help Marco! I knew I was close. :)
And yes, I love these citations as well. I was lucky to find these. They will be well kept in my ever expanding Soviet paper collection. Got this one today from Lithuania as well but this time I didn't get such a good deal. This one's heavily faded and has some heavy water damage as well. It looks like someone has pasted the document to a heavier piece of cardboard sometime in the medium past. Still, the price was right and it's not too terribly common. Anyone wanna take a stab at the name and the battle for me? Please? :)

Re: Certificate 1945
Is that "Stettin", and is the date 20 March 1945? (Date is right for when the east bank of the Oder was cleared at Stettin.)
