WW2 Russian Soviet Order of the Patriotic War 1985 Reissue # 3151881 With Booklet

The WW2 Russian Soviet Order of the Patriotic War 1985 Reissue #3151881 is a Soviet military decoration originally established during World War II to recognize acts of extreme bravery, leadership, or service in combat. This particular example is a 1985 reissue, produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. Official Soviet reissues from this period were awarded to surviving veterans and retain the distinctive red enamel five-pointed star, crossed sabre and rifle, and hammer-and-sickle emblem at the center. The reverse is serial numbered—#3151881—and the order is accompanied by its matching award booklet, documenting its issuance. The medal is constructed according to the period’s standards and features a screw-back attachment. The Order of the Patriotic War remains significant among Soviet awards for its direct connection to World War II and continued use in formal military recognition decades after the conflict ended.
