Beginning with the last medal in the next to the last row and continung through the last row are the long service medals for the military; the same set for the MVD (Ministry of Interior), and the same set for the KGB. The reverses are different for the three groups.

I showed these photos to Ranger and he was impressed as I was. Skip has posted his Russian medals which are also very nice. I wonder if he has seen this thread.
