This award was presented to Igor Girkin by Malofeyev's Charitable Foundation of St. Basil the Great because Girkin was among "those who made the greatest personal contribution to the Crimean events of 2014."

Igor Girkin (war name Strelkov) is the Russian former commander of militants in eastern Ukraine.
In need of money he is selling this gold medal he was awarded in 2014 for his role in the occupation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.

The award was given to him in the spring of 2014 by Russian billionaire Konstantin Malofeyev, a key figure linking the pro-Russian forces on the ground in eastern Ukraine to the political establishment in Moscow.

The auction will take place on April 13 at Moscow's StandArt Hotel. It says the starting bid is 1 million rubles, or about $15,000.

The gold medal includes the inscription "In memory of the reunification of the Crimea with Russia in 2014," with Putin's profile on the front and a map of Crimea on the back.

As part of 2nd Guards Taman Motor Rifle Division, the regiment was disbanded and absorbed into other detachments in 2009. In 2013, the Taman Motor Rifle Division was recreated, but I'm not clear if the 15th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment is part of it again.

The badge is a large size, made of stamped tin or copper. The blue cold enamel obviously didn't cure correctly and looks more green--flag of Bulgaria maybe?? :D Generally, I still prefer Soviet badges for their design, color balance etc.

The first one is from 1992, and for all intents and purposes it could have been a Soviet badge. Great design.

Once again I'm not sure just who are supposed to be issuing these but I'm certain there will be more of these out there than Cossacks that participated in the "campaign".

With more recent events taking over the headlines these have lost a considerable amount of their popular appeal in the west and prices of items relating to Russia in Crimea have been tumbling accordingly (20-25% drop in the last week and likely to continue downwards for at least the foreseeable future).
