Honorary Certificate of Achievement issued to entertainer Anna Sterlina (Анна Львовна Стерлина) on 26 February 1957 for "cultural patronage" of the Soviet Armed Forces.
Single page, 8 ¼" x 12 ¼". Printed by the Moscow Mint Factory, circulation 5,000 copies, very low by Soviet standards. The certificate bears S/N 4659 and the seal of the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Cultural Workers, the issuer of the certificate.
The certificate features a mixed assortment of symbols of the armed forces, culture, learning, and power of the state, headed by the motto of the Soviet Armed Forces "For our Soviet Motherland!" on the red banner.
In excellent condition. If not for the tiniest crease to the top right-hand corner, we would posit that this certificate never left storage.
The recipient could or could not be an entertainer herself. More likely than not, she was an organizer of cultural events for the Soviet Armed Forces.
Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
