For Combat Merits,U/N 1982,Security Officer,Submarine "K-424",Arctic Sea
Unfortunately, I do not have a translation of the record card of the full recommendation, just the "core". I have the original in Russian, though.
I also have his full documented group. Captain-Lieutenant Vladimir Vasil'evich Vas'kovsii The recommendation: "Comrade Vas'kovsky V. V. while being a security officer of the Special Department of KGB USSR showed himself an active, disciplined, and responsible officer. He actively participates in works of the local party chamber and is a candidate of local party bureau. "He participated in five long-haul voyages. In November 1982 as K-424 crew member he participated in the development of new tactical procedures, including the use of an atomic submarine under the ice fields of the Central Arctic. That included fourteen ice-breaking surfacings done by K-424. He did a great amount of work to ensure the state security amongst the crew of the submarine. "Both in everyday life and during the long-haul voyages, he spends all his energy maintaining high combat readiness of the atomic submarine and strengthening personnel’s military discipline. "His active work helps the Command fulfill combat missions aimed at the defense and protection of the state interests of the USSR. "For successful fulfillment of Command's tasks and developing new tactical procedures for use of atomic submarine’s weapons from under the ice fields of Central Arctic he deserves to be awarded with the medal 'For Valiant Labor'." Obviously, this recommendation was later altered. Researched by name, but with documents for the MMM and long service medals. You want to see them? |

Re: Combat Service Medal,under the Arctic ice somewhere,unnumbered
So from Valiant Labor it was changed to Combat Service, cool!
The three Good Service medals probably did not belong to him. As a uniformed officer he was most likely issued regular Armed Forces variations. In any case, I love this group! Alexei |

Nope, KGB document.
Think: "Hunt for Red October" (the first 20 minutes). |

Yes, the document would still be KGB. BTW, thanks for posting it.
You wouldn't happen to have a photo of the recipient wearing those medals, would you? I never could make myself watch that movie for more than 5 min. :cool: Alexei |

No such luck. I am bloody well AMAZED they (1) came out and (2) could be researched. We are often told (1) navy can't be researched and (2) KGB can't be researched. Oh, well.
Happy me. :D Quote:

Often this is the case, but KGB personnel awards given while serving in Army units are sometimes researchable, just like BoHs and RBLs, given to military personnel. Medals for Combat Service to Navy personnel are often researchable through the Podolsk archive. Don't ask me why. :confused:
BTW, I should have access to the navy archive in January. Keeping my fingers crossed. Alexei |
