Hi again
I read some stories about tourists who bought cheap medals and they were confiscated at the Moscow airport.
The question is, if a veteran's family sold expensive award (such as Ushakov 1), and it is now on sale outside Russia, is there a risk for the buyer? Is the award still considered a state property? Is there a way in which Russian government will sue sellers/buyers of those awards?
