Nice document duo, although I'm guessing your ethnic Latt must have fought in Belarus.

This is an important distinction and without getting into 60-year-old politics, the Baltic peoples weren't too keen on Soviet rule and correspondingly Soviets often treated them as Nazi collaborators. Additionally, whenever you view Soviet maps showing partisan resistance centers, there are remarkably few (if any) such points indicated in the Baltic countries (compared to Russia, Ukraine, and Belorussia). Some of this is due to suitable terrain, yet...

I own several of these Belorussian documents, a Ukrainian one, and even a single Moldovan partisan document (which I posted on the forum), but has anyone seen a post-war, strictly Latvian, Lithuanian, or Estonian document for partisan unit participation done in the respective, ethnic languages?

Nice set. Was the Glory for partisan actions, or post-partisan service in a "line" unit?

Post partisan service. He was a sergeant in the 2nd infantery regiment in 1944/1945. Born in Belarus but after the war he lived in Latvia.

I need help with the translation of this document.
Best regards.

Resurrecting old threads...why not. :)

"Ivan Fedorovich Salenik took part in the partisan movement during the period of the Great Patriotic War from January 5 1944 until July 20 1944, as a: Private of troop "Bolshevik" in the Brigade "Stalin."

The document was awarded in 1969; please see upper left of the book where the doc is stamped "badge awarded."

It's sometimes thought that the badge in my photo was contemporary to the doc, but I believe the badge was a much later vintage: 1989-1991 or so. I will do some research on this and report back.

I'll admit my assertion is not conclusive, but I've seen many times more docs than these particular badges.

That's my theory too. I believe the original issue was just the doc, the badge came much later.
