Soviet Afghan War Medal with Award Booklet – USSR

This is an authentic Soviet medal awarded to veterans of the Soviet-Afghan War, along with its original award booklet (Грамота). The medal is presented to those who served with distinction during the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan, which lasted from 1979 to 1989. The front of the medal features a red star with the emblem of the USSR, encircled by a wreath and a blue enamel center depicting two shaking hands, symbolizing international solidarity.

The accompanying red award booklet bears the insignia of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and includes detailed information about the recipient and the reason for the award. The booklet serves as an official recognition of the bravery and service of the soldiers who took part in the conflict.

The inscription inside the booklet reads: “For courage and military valor shown while fulfilling the international duty in the Republic of Afghanistan.” The decree date of December 28, 1988, is also mentioned, marking the formal recognition of the service rendered by Soviet personnel in the conflict.

This set represents a significant piece of Soviet military history, particularly related to the USSR’s involvement in Afghanistan, and would be a valuable addition to any collection focused on Soviet or Cold War-era military memorabilia.
