r/redcollecting

I am not super familiar with the chest ribbon placement but I tried to place em from lowest to highest!

Bought for £15 in Ho Chi Minh City from a military shop. Guy had one other backpack, with different inscriptions

Medal for Activist of Socialist Work (Aktivist der sozialistischen Arbeit), an honor title awarded in the German Democratic Republic (GDR/DDR). It was awarded for outstanding performance in the workplace.

I've had this medal given to me by a pub holder in my hometown in the french alps.

He offered a few drinks to a broken Russian athlete competing in the Albertville 1992 Olympics, who in exchange gave him this medal.

From the story I've been told, the dude passed out and had to sleep in the pub overnight.

I have no further information such as his name, the kind of sport he was doing, or else ...

Has anyone already seen such a thing ?

Can a Russian redditer give the writings a proper translation?

I got this on a captured Russian oil rig not sure where it originated

Can't find any other examples.

Image search only brings up an image used on an Italian news forum, "La Stampa," with no citation.
