Don't know. I know I don't have any in my smallish collection. The RKKA had a huge cavalry arm, especially early war; by the winter of 41/42 is was pretty much the only mobile force remaining. It was never disbanded, and used up until the end of the war, often in "Cavalry-Mechanized Groups." A cavalry corps was combined with a tank or mechanized corps under one commander for a specific mission of deep exploitation. (There were at least two used in operation Bagration.) Given their missions I'd be surprised if there weren't a whole lot of medal winners in them.
