Here is an example awarded to Soldier Vasilij Iosifovich Tkachenko by Selidovo Regional Military Commissariat on 11th June 1949.

Tkachenko is a common name but there was a little luck, a 1925 Selidovo born recipient of the OPW1'85.

Here a rather obscure award. To a female Captain in the MGB. Awarded by the Armenian SSR Minister himself on the 12th January 1949. No other information available on her but it looks as though her brother was NKVD from 1934 - a family affair.

Document for the Medal for the 30th Anniversary of the Soviet Armed Forces issued to Petr Andreevich Sosnovskiy on January 19th, 1949, signed by the MGB Minister of the Latvian SSR, a General-Major, by his Deputy Colonel of Security, Andrej Jakovlevich Efimov.[/SIZE]

I believe the Latvian SSR MGB document wasn't signed by the Minister himself (Major General Of Security Al'fons Andreevich Noviks) but his deputy Colonel Of Security Andrej Jakovlevich Efimov. It certainly looks like A. Efimov although he was a colonel and the deputy in 1949 (and never was the minister).
