Commemorative Medal "For Distinguished Service".

[CtahhR]

Here is another Medal "For Distinguished Service". The Ministry Of Defence instituted the continuation of the Medal "For Distinguished Service" as a ministerial award in the 92-94 period (exact information is on a "lost" hard drive). As for how many were awarded or if they were even produced at that time is not yet known. These frequently seen Medals may be the result of some contract which allows a manufacturer to produce it. As for whether or not these were ever intended to be awarded or not is another story but they were officially instituted by the Ministry Of Defence of the Russian Federation prior to any other award service or otherwise.
