Hello gents, here a badge united to a doc, unumbered variation, but still nice heavy construction...

A beautiful and complete set, Komsomol! This is the first time I have the opportunity to see the document.

Thank you! The set isn't complete, as I received two other documents. Working with Lapa, we are wondering which medal could fit with the Soviet Peace Fund medal document accompanying this teacher set.

Are the two parts specular (different languages)?

Here are the documents:

Nw, which medal?

On the russian wiki (!) the left one is called "gold medal of the soviet peace fund" and the right "honour medal of soviet peace fund". So this last should fit with the paper.
But on two memorial website showing the same diploma than me, the awardees show the "gold medal"...

(really nice webpages!)

Seb,

I hadn't seen the inside of your document before. To me, there is no doubt now: honor medal of the Soviet Peace Fund.

It could fit with a "pochetnii znak"? The two webpages are disturbing: the museum could have forgotten the diploma for the gold medal shown on veterans' chest, but here we have two websites, so two times the same "mistake"?

Guys,

I realise that my previous message may have been a bit ambiguous. Let's clear things up a bit:
. On Seb's pictures above, on the LEFT is the "Gold medal of the Soviet Peace Fund"; on the RIGHT is the "Honour badge of the Soviet Peace Fund".
. Soviet documents always mention precisely the nature of the award (certificate, diploma, badge, medal/order). In the present case, the document mentions "Honour Medal". It follows that the award that goes with it is the one shown on the LEFT in Seb's picture above.
I hope that things make more sense now

Hello Marc, all is cristal clear, thank you!

Guys, got a small group conirming a lot of things, and I add others pictures about peace fund medals.

As you can see it, the honor medal comes with a number and the diplom is related.

Really a beauty Seb This is the silver version of the medal, previously you show to us the gold version, so can you confirm that exist both versions?

The honor badge:

Well, another point to be investigated, but it seems these are two fabric variations.

Guys, I edited the title of this subject. I found another niche to collect: teachers awards. Another complicated filed because the reublican badges are scarce and I love them woth a named paper in order to "put a bit of flesh on metal"... and the federal honoured badge is expensive.

Here are some pieces I found recently.

First, a badge for meritorious teacher of USSR.

A small ukrainian grouping: the known old-shape badge, but with a "senior teacher" badge in aluminium. The seller was proposing them separately. You know how I am, it was impossible to buy one without the other.

Meritorious teacher of Ukraine:

really cheap medal, but the doc is less seen:

This thread is becoming more and more interesting, thanks to you, Komsomol! These badges are simple, but not easy to find, in particular when paired to the document. It would be nice to have more insight about under what circumstances these awards were granted.

The lastest find:

The Makarenko medal for distinguihsed pedagogical work. It is an ukrainian distinction, as his ribon indicates.
A.Makarenko was one of these pioneers of moderne pedagogy, for the soviet union before WW2.
