Another facinating episode on Soviet militaria. Igor's knowledge is absolutely astounding. I cannot get enough of these videos.

Thank you, @user-sn4qf3ky6o !!! We will keep it going.
Great video guys....my defence of Kyiv medal has heavy oxidation....is that an indication that it could be a fake? Many thanks

Thanks @LondonHistory1977, glad you like the channel! Heavy oxidation in and of itself is not an indication of anyting. I've seen many common, more recent Soviet jubilee medals that are heavily patinated and at times, even have very ugly blemishes.
