Medal of Honored Medical Doctor of RSFSR, 1975-1995. The top level of recognition
bestowed by the government of Soviet Russian (and later, Russian Federation) upon
MDs. Although the title existed since 1940, the medal (or "honorary badge" by its
official Soviet designation) was only established in 1975. In excellent condition.

Best Medical Nurse, Badge of a Winner of the Competition of the 4th Main Agency, Ministry of Health of USSR, circa late 1970s-1980s. The Fourth Agency ran the special "closed" medical facilities treating the Soviet party elite (which explains the exceptional quality of the badge). In excellent condition.

Stalino Medical Institute (SMI) 30th Anniversary, Graduate Badge, 1960. A very
interesting piece: the city of Stalino (pre-revolutionary Yuzovka) was renamed
Donetsk in 1961 during Khrushchev's "de-Stalinization" campaign; the institute was
renamed Donetsk Medical Institute during the same year. The badge is thus one of
the last to refer to the old name of both the city and school. EXC condition.

Medal in Bronze, with Original Fitted Case of Issue. Features portrait of Ivan
Sechenov, a famous Russian neuroscientist and physiologist. In excellent
condition. One of only pre-WW2 Soviet Table Medals. Very rare, especially with its
original case included.
