Welcome aboard, Tom :thumbsup
Hope you enjoy this hobby as much as all of us do.
You already got some very good advices from CtahhR and medals73. Follow them and I assure you you will have a lot of fun and almost zero grief.
Now, regarding your interest area, there are many sub-categories to focus on. Some examples are: Researched awards (with information of the recipient, like who, when, and why he got it for), awards with their documents (the certificate that came with it), award groups (all the awards and paperwork awarded to one person), cased ones, military ones awarded during peacetime or combat, Soviet awards given to foreign people, Labor awards, awards given to individuals of a certain ethnic group within the USSR, etc... You have a lot of choices!
These areas are not my cup o' tea though, since now I´m focusing on other Warsaw Pact awards rather than Soviet ones.
Kind regards.

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again
Looks any different to me

And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again
