  • I don't think that's particularly interesting either: it's not unusual to receive a decoration for war service (and most readers won't know that Hero of the Russian Federation is a particularly prestigious award). The question is, what did he do that was meritorious? buidhe 05:14, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with it as well. Approving, buidhe 02:33, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
