Gentlemen,

This standard Soviet document for a Victory Medal:

... was issued in 1997, and has the Russian Eagle ink stamp:

You know, all the paper work takes time...and the CCCP is no more, so what? The important thing is that the justice was done with the veteran!

Tal,

You are right, but in this case it took a little too long, even for Russia. I think it's interesting that they would use a Soviet type doc, that is obviously freshly printed, and not a Russian Federation document.

Agreed. BUT, maybe there are HUGE stocks of documents?
BTW, as you know, SOVIET passporet are still used today!

I hope the veteran lived to see the medal...

Tal,

I think you are right. I have just compared it with a document awarded in 1973, and the paper is absolutely identical.
