This medal came in a large "collection" of medals and badges (read: grocery bag of stuff) that I got as gift from a friend in Murmansk.
I find it a bit interesting - as you can see from the photos, it has some kind of bird in the front. A swan? Reminds me of something that has to do with the environment.
On the back it has a star, not a soviet star, but something that looks more like a thin NATO-star and then the names of some of the republics and some other regions, but not the SSR names but rather the names as we know the states now - Rossija, Ukraina, Azerbadjan etc.
Ideas of what this is?
