Re: Hero Of The Soviet Union Vasiliy Nikiforovich Shpagin
Here is the original citation for his Star №4596. Shpagin was born 19th January 1913 and died 18th September 1995 so the Ukrainian 50th should be his last award.
There should also be a 10 years "For Combat Merits" out there somewhere too as he worked for the MVD for 22 years after the war.

Re: Hero Of The Soviet Union Vasiliy Nikiforovich Shpagin
He was also put forward for a Red Star independently from the Hero Title and received a Glory III a month before becoming Hero Of The Soviet Union.
