A very "Little Land" (Malaja Zemlja) award. The map changed very little from February to September 1943 as the small pocket was cut off from the main force of the North-Caucasus Front.

I'm not certain if Brezhnev lists the 879th in his book or not (so many units are listed they can't all be remembered)
