Actually, you don't have to speak Russian to use Mondvor web site. For each variation there are known serial number ranges indicated. Digits are similar in both English and Russian :)
Concerning "serial number" vs. "time of issue" I would say that in general all Glories 3rd class with a numbers higher than 400.000 were issued after May 9, 1945.
I haven't heard about Korean Glories. As far as I know there were no Soviet privates or sergeants in Korea, officers only.
But I know for sure (I have citations) that Glories were issued for Russian-Chinese incident on Damansky peninsula.
Glories "for spilled blood" were given in 1960-70 only in case if severly wounded soldier didn't get any other numbered award during the war.
