Since many people here know Russian, could someone please translate me what is written in this medal? I bougth it from a store that sells old stuff, since this medal was cheap and I like medals. It is a Medal "For Impeccable Service" of 2nd class of the Soviet Union. It was given to those who where in the Soviet Military for about 15 years.
Wow, nice find! I know a tiny tiny bit of Russian, and aside from the CCCP at the bottom (which is USSR as I'm sure you know), I think the words at the top mean "armed forces" and then "of 15 years". Can you get a clearer scan? Crop it natively with an image editor and upload it to imgur.com Edit: don't bother, got it. middle two words mean "distinguished service" *not sure about that one If someone knows better Russian than me please confirm, I'm not very confident
