Uncover the history behind Soviet medals—where courage meets recognition. Explore detailed records, trace award recipients, and reveal the untold stories of heroism from the Soviet era.

As a Soviet medal collector for over a decade, my journey began with a fascination for the design and beauty of these historical artifacts. Each medal, with its intricate details and craftsmanship, held a unique charm. However, as my collection grew, so did my curiosity about their stories.

Who were the people who earned these honors? What acts of bravery, sacrifice, or dedication led to their recognition? Unlike those who wore these medals with pride, I have never had the privilege of earning such honors myself. It must have taken tremendous courage and relentless effort to be awarded a medal—whether in wartime or during the Soviet era.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union meticulously documented its awards, preserving a vast archive of historical records. These records grant us the privilege of uncovering the personal stories behind each medal, connecting us to the past in a profound way.

Through this website, I aim to help fellow collectors and history enthusiasts trace the origins of Soviet medals, discover their recipients, and piece together the incredible narratives they hold.Join me in this journey of discovery, where each medal is more than just metal and enamel—it is a testament to history, heroism, and human resilience.
