Soviet Russian USSR Cold War documented medal group consisting of a Medal for Combat Service (or Medal for Combat Merit) with document awarded 27 June 1989 to KGB Border Guard Oleg Vladimirovich Chernyshenko for actions during the Soviet War in Afghanistan! As a rule, direct archival research for awards of this nature (KGB/Border Guards) is not possible. The attribution on hand (“border guard” “Soviet-Afghan War”) was provided by experienced researchers who have had opportunities to examine relevant archival documents in the past. The authenticity of this image is highly dubious to say the least. It is therefore not included in the listing images and should not be considered part of the lot. Condition is excellent , as seen in the images! Some markings to booklet pages. All questions in advance. I will answer all coherent, respectful inquiries to the best of my ability. Please see my other listings. Lots of excellent Soviet medals! Many additional high quality pieces available that are not yet listed.
