They certainly were skilled enough to make Stalin look younger and handsome on pictures. :D
Do you know what was this nice citation awarded for?

It Stalin's gratitude for participation in some WW2 campaign- possibly a capture or liberation of a city. Seems to be unified and more ornate version of the ww2 "letters"

Here's a trio of "Gratitude"s for Junior Sergeant Shalva Sergeevich Mesropov, which I picked up at the marketplace here. Mesropov was also awarded a "For Courage" medal and possibly more but I only have these three documents in my possession.
The first document is for service in the Caucasus from January 1943, The second for the Taman Peninsula dated October 1943 and finally from 11th April 1944 (The actual day of liberation of the city), Kerch.

Simply amazing. This specific type of "fill in the blank" document is rare to find in such good condition and especially rare to find a set of them. Good hunting.:thumbsup

Here is a 21st November 1945 dated gratitude certificate for participation in the Great Patriotic War named to Senior Sergeant Georgij Malakovich Majsuradze
And here's what the Russian State Archive website told me for free.
Shame that there's another split group out there......
Here is the citation for his Medal "For Bravery". I'm not so good with the Russian handwriting so to sum it up 27th September 1943 at the battle for Farm "Dzheginskij" he destroyed the enemy bunker.
No doubt this farm was somewhere close to or on the Taman Peninsula.

Gents,
A nice example of an NKVD "Letter of Appreciation" to I. Ya. Gerasimenko. He served in the NKVD's 1st Motorized Rifle Order of Lenin, Order of the Red Banner Felix Dzerzhinskiy Division during the GPW.
