Here is a KGB GSSR awarded Gramota to Konstantin Aleksandrovich Israeljan (sounds like a Jewish Armenian name), "For high production performance and successful implementation of socialist obligations in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the formation of the U.S.S.R.".

Presenting here a set of three award certificates to Petty Officer Vladimir Mikhailovich Sukhotsky. Sukhotsky earned all three certificates and two promotions while serving on the submarine K-45 during its sea trials in 1961.
An excellent history of the K-45 can be found here. It had an eventful career all the way until the 1990's. One of its more interesting tasks was shadowing US carriers in the Golf of Tonkin in 1972.
Captain Victor Grigorievich Belashev, the ship's first captain, signed all three certificates (note, he was also promoted during the voyage). Belashev later reached the rank of Vice-Admiral and served as commander of the 10th Submarine Division and 4th Submarine Flotilla. He was killed in an aviation accident in 1981.
All the certificates are in great condition. The submarine artwork is quite neat! The combo of two sub designs and one general armed forces is interesting. But the best part of the group is that the history can be pinpointed.
Enjoy!
