I've order stuff from the former USSR before, but knowing the export rules, never buy medals from Russia, Ukraine. The countries occupied by the former USSR, eg the Baltics, Poland etc don't seem to have any problems selling soviet awards, so many awards from Russia and the Ukraine are smuggled to these 'safe' countries for export to the west. I've bought several things from the Baltics and never had any problems.
In fact, thinking about it, of the hundred or so items I must have bought so far, I've only ever had problems with two of them. One was bad packaging and the other was a 'representative' picture of a medal, which turned out to be in much worse condition than the 'photo'. Both were problems were resolved to my satisfaction.
Kind Regards,
