Tal,
I am not so sure it is a fake. It could very well be one of those unofficial awards. I just don't have enough information about those badges yet. You are right in the sense that even if it exists it is probably made by some small factory, that would be happy to sell them to anyone. The medal certainly doesn't do with this document, it has an early type Russian eagle, as opposed to the current type pictured in the document.
