I just got these today. A group of nine all awarded to one man; Red Army Man Chinskiy.
I'm guessing right now he was with the 2nd Ukrainian Front.
On all documents the reverse is marked:
"Отпечатано в типографии газеты Сталинская гвардия"
It is printed in newspaper printing house Stalin guards
All documents are printed with:
Командир части - Unit Commander
Начальник штаба - Chief of Staff
This first one is dated August 22, 1944
The cover: УЧАСТНИКУ БОЕВ ЗА ДНЕСТР - TO THE PARTICIPANT OF FIGHTS FOR DNESTR
During World War II, German and Romanian forces battled Soviet troops on the western bank of the river Dniester (Dnester).
Inside:
За отличные боевые действия по прорыву сильно укрепленной и развитой в глубину обороны противника южнее Бендеры гвардии
For excellent operations on break of defence of the opponent strongly strengthened and developed in depth to the south Bendery* guards
* aka the city Bender, then (1944) in Romania, currently part of Moldova. Located on the western bank of the Dniester river in the historical region of Bessarabia
