Shawn,

I'm sorry but I believe that if you served in the Red Army, you got the VOG medal, no matter what. You did not need to have served in Europe. I have seen multiple researched groups where the person was stationed in the Far East for the whole war and had both medals. While I am sure there are exceptions to this rule (everything dealing with the USSR has an exception) I am almost sure this is correct.

Either way, all veterans were eligible for the Victory Anniversary medals.

Just my opinion,
Ed
