I personally prefer the bravery of Georgians during the GPW but Russians do it for me too... (Remembering that the Georgians were not fighting to liberate their home soil whereas the Russians were). Anything Soviet is fine with me.
My favourites include the 414th Rifle Division and anything Railway related but I'll take anything that's not nailed down (and a few things that were).
Availability and selection are the simple reasons why I got into it. There are so many awards for almost every activity covering all the communist nations of the world. From the "Destroy everything imperial" early RSFSR, to the transitional "imperial communists" of Bulgaria, to the 21st century Juche processions of Korea.
Keep remembering that it was the Soviet Union with a Red Army and not a Russian Army. The only Russian army that fought in the GPW fought for Hitler (not a German) against Stalin (Not a Russian, nor his sidekick Berija).
The section for purely Russian Soviet period items is Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic - The Soviet Military Awards Page Forum
For the modern Russian section there is Russian Federation - The Soviet Military Awards Page Forum.
