Re: Starshina Leonid Aleksandrovich Sheffer, MVD.
It would be awesome to reunite the group! Especially with the news Commie Luigi posted above! :D
I do not have the ability to type in Russian. Can someone please type his name and I will look for that forum to reach out to the seller. Maybe I could work something out with the seller or buyer. I bet that this was a huge grouping! I would love to know the other medals that are missing. |

This thread is 4 years old, so slim chance of recovery I think. I sent the seller an email just in case. Fingers crossed! Cheers, Alex PS - it's Comrade Mario :D Luigi is the green one.

Re: Starshina Leonid Aleksandrovich Sheffer, MVD.
Even before the NVKD the GRU led the way into China in the 20's. I was of course referring to classification as an "Armed Force" rather than actually holding a weapon.
The "30 Years Of Armed Forces" in the collection marked MVD are to either "Troops" of one sort or another or issued by MVD "Lagers" without mentioning the designation of the forces there (possibly some other variations but I don't have all resources on hand). They will all be posted with time. The shuffling of People's Commissariats into Ministries, the transition from war to peace (including demobilisation) and the fact that someone had to be in service to be awarded the "30 Years" makes for some interesting and often confusing awards. It's a shame there isn't currently a scan of Sheffer's to shine a little light onto him.

Thank you for contacting the seller. It would be cool if he still has them. That means that he would have had all of the anniversary medals. Talk about a full house. |

Conscripts were registered at the same voenkomaty, and were chosen from the very same pool as those to go to the Army. They would also recieve AF anniversary medals. Even tough they were under different ministery, they did count as members of the Armed Forces. The same applies to the Border Guards (who for the longest period were under the KGB), and to other KGB troops (but troops, not all the KGB personnel). When the manpower of the Soviet Armed Forces was given, it usually inclouded both VV MVD and PV KGB, at least that is what gen. Jaruzelski suggestes in one of his books and I "think" he knows what he is talking about. |

Re: Starshina Leonid Aleksandrovich Sheffer, MVD.
I found another "30 Years" to a Lieutenant (formerly Guards Jr-LT) , signed by the deputy minister of internal affairs which once again doesn't really specify too much.

Re: Starshina Leonid Aleksandrovich Sheffer, MVD.
Those documents have arrived!!! I will post another photo of the entire grouping. Pretty exciting, despite the passage of much time.
