As we plan, after updating and restarting the general project of the Russian newspaper and the central archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation under the name “Victory Star”its expansion Functional capacity and double the nominee of the nerve award for the participants of the great patriotic war (from 65 843 to 134 498 personality) Rg RG, authors and partners of the project begin to receive written and oral requirements on what to do and where to contact when discovered. As an armed reward.

They asked – we answered.
The general principle now is this: only awarded award for the great patriotic war can only be awarded – at an individual application or as required to be prepared on behalf of him and designed properly.
If the person was awarded, died of wounds, disappeared or died after the war, and the neutral reward was only discovered now, his direct heirs (widows, widows, children, grandchildren, big children -Grandchild, etc.
The collection of award -proof documents and the fact that the prize is not awarded, as well as the document certification of family relationships, are in the applicant.
Now – in specific situations.
1. If the soldier ahead is still alive and his non -armed reward will be discovered, he himself (with the help of relatives and friends) must apply with a personal statement about the award of the award at 119160, Moscow, Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the head of the main board of staff of the personnel (Guk Mo RF).
In the application, you need to show your passport data, address, phone (to communicate and complete data, if necessary). To confirm that the award was not awarded before. Application must be attached:
1) A copy of the passport – page and main page with a residence permit;
2) Certificate for other prizes, if any;
3) In case they have changed – a document about this;
4) If possible, a copy of the military card or accounting card, if those documents are stored in the family or are found in military enlistment offices at the residence.
Important and practical support in collecting the necessary documents should be provided by specially trained employees of military enlistment offices – this is included in their mission. There you should also contact in some difficulties.
2. If the awarded soldier is no longer alive (died, disappeared, awarded afterwards, died after the war), and his heirs or relatives discovered a non -armed prize, they should apply to the head of the General Department of Russian Defense (as in the first case) on the transfer of certificates to the family. This procedure is prescribed by the provisions of the State Award of the Russian Federation, approved under the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation on September 7, 2010, No. 1099 “on measures to improve the state award system of the Russian Federation” (amended by the Decree of the Russian Federation on December 16, 2011).
The problem of transferring to one of the heirs or relatives of the certificate to the state award was considered by the General Department of Human Resources of the Russian Defense Ministry in the presence of the following documents:
Applications of inheritors or relatives on the transfer of certificates to the state award (applications must indicate passport data, address, telephone – to communicate operating and complete data, if necessary); Copies of passport pages and birth certificates (marriage certificates) of the applicant; Copies of the pages of the document (-OV) confirmed that military service was awarded during the great patriotic war (a monitoring record from an individual's officer, military ID or the Red Army book, and in their absence-Archive reference); Copy of notice of death or certificate of death of the person being given; Copies of the Certificate pages for the Soviet Awards, which the soldier ahead was awarded earlier.
Documents should be sent to the address: 119160, Moscow, Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the head of the General Department of Human Resources (Guk Mo RF).
3. Before sending the document (and even better – before they start collecting them), you need to make sure a non -armed reward I found it Your loved one has, not his full name.
We recommend that you verify not only the name, but the whole year of birth, as well as the place of service at the time of the award. If the dossier of the nerve reward is found in the name Victory Star Star, the minimum necessary information is displayed in the results of the search query in the following chain: full name, sponsor, year of birth, place of service at the time of award and/or military unit, issuing an order for the award. For example: Ivanov Dmitry Kirsanovich was born in 1898 where to serve: 50 SK 2 English lines of glory of level III.
If there is still doubt, try to find it on the website “The Feat of the People” Awards and/or order for similar biographical data awards. In these documents, if you are lucky, you may encounter data on the location and time of draft for the army, previous prizes (if any), information about wounds and, maybe, other clarifying details.
4. If the award is no longer alive, and his disabled prize discover acquaintances, neighbors, students, grandchildren of the soldiers, search engines, volunteers, museum staff or storage without information about relatives of the person being given, as well as in other cases of organizations, cities, cities, regional museums, republic or parts, places with appropriate conditions for this.
As realized, from the General Department of Human Resources of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, this type of requirement will be redirected to the Foreign Affairs Award of the Russian President – only decisions that can be made in special cases.
5. One answer and other suggestions – for people in Database name “Victory Stars” He did not find any of his relatives, but from his father's story (mother, grandfather, grandmother, a relative or an acquaintance), he remembered that he (she) could have an unpaid reward. How can other be checked? First of all – Contact Electronic banking “Feat of the people”In which all the award documents of the great patriotic war accumulated, were transferred to digital formats.
But unlike the “Victory Star” search facility, where they are collected Only confirmed information Regarding orders and medals not given, in the bank award documents digitized as “miracles of the people”, such cases have not been allocated in any way. And if you find a reward that your grandfather, grandmother or big father does not have, or something you don't know, you will have to make a clarification request in Center storage of the Ministry of Defense.
Only after confirming from Tsamo, the collection of documents and sending them to the known address: 119160, Moscow, the head of the General Department of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
