The reverse of the paper has "3057722 26.08.52" hand written on it. Could that be the number and date of the award?
There is a Vladimir Mefod'evich Mal'ko on podvignaroda with a date of birth 1925 if this were the same person it would be impossible to be awarded for 15 years long service which would lead to the conclusion that it is for a different Mal'ko or possibly for actions in Korea (or something else contemporary).
Neat document.
The number on the back would be the serial number; it fits with the time period. I'm not sure which particular date the one noted is. I've never observed it as a decree date. Could you please post a scan of the reverse?
I don't think there's anything here to suggest Korea or other such contemporary "fun".
