The medals are mostly of the commemorative kind, decade anniversaries since the end of WW2, or as the Ruskies call it "The Great Patriotic War".
The badge looking thingy on the top left is a silver "Soviet Order of the Patriotic War"
The smaller medals down the bottom are emulation awards given to workers for "hard work".



This little fella is a KGB medal.

We called it the Cold War back in the 50's & 60's. I just remember Nikita Khrushchev saying they were going to bury us. A scary time for us kids growing up. The KGB were the bad guys.

Neat medals for sure Wom.
