Table medal made in the Soviet Union. The text on the medal reads:”Alexey Victorovich Shchusev Architect Academician 1873-1949″. Shchusev was the designer of the Lenin Mausoleum. Alexey Victorovich Shchusev (1873-1949) was a Russian and Soviet architect who was successful during three consecutive epochs of Russian architecture, Art Nouveau (broadly construed), Constructivism, and Stalinist architecture, being one of the few Russian architects to be celebrated under both the Romanovs and the communists, becoming the most decorated architect in terms of Stalin prizes awarded.
On the night of 22–23 January 1924, Shchusev was summoned to the Kremlin to receive the most important commission of his life, the design of the Lenin Mausoleum.
The reasons for choosing Shchusev remain unknown. Dmitry Chmelnizki speculates that, regardless of Shchusev’s conservative planning policies, he had already become “the architect closest to the Communist Party elite”. The first, temporary, wooden mausoleum was designed overnight and erected in three days, at temperatures reaching -30 °C.
Due to a lack of time and resources, Shchusev’s original proposal was scaled down to a bare minimum. The resulting makeshift hut was too small for its intended role as a communist shrine; thus in March 1924 Shchusev was commanded to design and build a larger temporary structure that could also function as a tribune for the use of government officials. The second wooden mausoleum was built in April and opened to visitors in August 1924.
Five years later, the government decided that the concept “had passed the test of time”, and awarded Shchusev a contract to design a third, permanent mausoleum.

Medal from the Sovjet Afghan war, 1988. With unwritten document. The back of the medal says:”From The Grateful Afghan People”. The same on the front of the document. Inside the document it says:”Republic of Afghanistan. In accordance with the decree. Awarded. To the international warrior from the grateful Afghan people.”
The Soviet–Afghan War lasted over nine years, from 1979 and ended in 1989. Insurgent groups known collectively as the mujahideen, as well as smaller Maoist groups, fought a guerrilla war against the Soviet Army and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan government, mostly in the countryside. The mujahideen groups were backed primarily by the United States making it a Cold War proxy war. Between 562,000 and 2,000,000 civilians were killed and 32.000 Sovjet/Afghan forces and 57.000 mujahideen.
The war derives from a 1978 coup when Afghanistan’s communist party took power, initiating a series of radical modernization reforms throughout the country. These reforms were deeply unpopular among the more traditional rural population and established power structures. It led to the rise of anti government armed groups and by April 1979 large parts of the country were in open rebellion. The ruling party itself experienced deep rivalries, and in September 1979 the President, Nur Mohammad Taraki, was murdered under orders of the second in command, Hafizullah Amin, which soured relations with the Soviet Union. Eventually the Soviet government, under leader Leonid Brezhnev, decided to deploy the 40th Army in December 1979.
Arriving in the capital Kabul, they staged a coup, killing president Amin and installing Soviet loyalist Babrak Karmal from a rival faction.

Medal, Order Of The Patriotic War 2nd. Class with documentation.
The Order of the Patriotic War is a Soviet military decoration that was awarded to soldiers in the Soviet armed forces, security troops, and to partisans for heroic deeds during the German-Soviet War, known by the former Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War.
In order to inspire soldiers to preform heroic acts during the war, the soviet union issued a large number of expensively made medals. The Order Of The Patriotic war came in 2 classes. 1st. class and 2nd. class, breaking the tradition of a classless society. The 1st. class was for truly heroic acts such as; bringing two enemy planes down as a pilot, destroy 2 or more tanks, sinking a warship or do repairs while on enemy fire.
The 2nd. class was for less heroic deeds. In 1985, during the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, it was decided that all surviving veterans of the war would be awarded either 2nd or 1st class of the Order, and about 2,054,000 first class and 5,408,000 second class were issued then.
As of January 1992, the total number of all awarded Orders was 2,487,098 first class and 6,688,497 second class variants. Almost 10 million in total.
