1. Citation for excellent work in serving the troops in the soldiers' canteen, Military Unit # 20132, 1969. Good condition.
Measures 9 ½" x 13", very nicely decorated, with Lenin's portrait against the background image of the Grand Kremlin Palace. The bottom of the frame somewhat unexpectedly features the image of the Ready for Labor and Defense badge.
In good condition, showing partial separations at the horizontal fold line, some creasing and small rips along the right-hand and bottom edges, and minimal soiling. There is also a tiny brownish stain in the center. The wear is not too intrusive to the eye, and not very detractive.
2. Citation on occasion of birthday and the 51st anniversary of the Soviet Armed Forces, military unit # 44128, 1969. Good condition.
Measures 9 ¾" x 13 ¼", colorfully decorated with graphics reflecting on all branches of the Armed Forces. It was traditional for WW2 veterans to be honored in their workplace on the Soviet Army Day (23 February), and Victory Day.
In good condition. The citation has been stored folded in four for a long time, developing partial separations along the vertical fold line. There is also a small brownish stain in the very center, occasional minor faint stains elsewhere on the margins, and some fraying and small tears along the top edge. The wear is on the margins and has no significant effect on the document itself. All the decorative graphics, text, seal and signature are crisp, vibrant and perfectly legible.
3. Citation on occasion of birthday, military unit # 44128, 1971. Good condition.
Measures 9 ½" x 13". The decorative elements are the same as in the 1969 citation by military unit #44128 but the size is slightly smaller. Of note is that Comrade Leonova is addressed here in a more familiar manner, by her short name "Asya" rather than "Anastasiya". Probably a reflection on her being well-liked in her workplace.
In good condition. The document has been stored folded in four for a long time, but only at the bottom of the vertical fold line we see the beginning of a separation, easily repairable with tape on the verso, if desired. There is a large water stain covering the center part of the citation. Luckily, it is very faint and is noticeable only on the margins. All the decorative graphics, text, seal and signature are crisp, vibrant and perfectly legible.
