Soviet Medal of Ushakov – #5384

Product Description: A desirable Soviet Russian Medal of Ushakov, featuring the Type 2 suspension and bearing serial number 5384. The medal is in nice overall condition, showing crisp details and a light, even patina. The original ribbon exhibits minor discoloration from age, but remains structurally sound and retains its original form. A fine example of this Soviet naval valor award, increasingly sought after by collectors of WWII and Soviet-era militaria.

Historical Description: The Ushakov Medal, established by the Soviet Union in 1944 and still awarded by the Russian Federation today, honors naval personnel for exceptional bravery and steadfastness in service. Named after 18th-century Admiral Fyodor Ushakov—renowned for his undefeated record and moral integrity—the silver medal features his portrait encircled by an anchor chain and bears the inscription “For Courage and Valor.” Initially awarded during World War II to Soviet sailors and naval support staff, it later gained international recognition when presented to Allied veterans of the Arctic Convoys. Today, it remains a rare but prestigious military decoration, symbolizing enduring maritime valor and Russia’s naval heritage.
