Original medal! Document is awarded to lieutenant Ioan Borisovich Belenkiy signed by the commander of the 680th independant self propelled Artillery Division Guards Major (if I can see this correct - rank is quite vague to read) Tarakanov.

Good morning Marcel,
Thank you very much for your reply. Good to definitely know the medal is original. And great information of the document, gives me a lead to do some research myself. Any tips on websites or sources for me to look around?
And I will try to make a better picture of the rank later today.
Regards, Rik
Edit: after a look at the photos on my phone it turns out the 680 is actually 650.

It is indeed the 650th division. It was hard to see on the photo.
Research can be done here: Подвиг народа
But it is only in Russian. There are several members here who speak Russian and who could help to find more info on Belenkiy.

Hi! Yes, the medal and the document are fine....But what is interesting and it makes it easier to search...This is the name of the hero!!! Ioan......For Russian language it's a rare name...We have a name that sounds like Ivan.....But here Ioan...Very rarely..I have not met such names in Russia....But before the war on front came people from villages with very ancient names..it's rare!!

If you see.on your medal.. on the medal face of Stalin, pointing to the left (to the West)! It's towards Germany. And after victory over Japan, withdrew medal more rare. - To victory over Japan!"...where the face is turned to the right (to the East)!In the direction of Japan ! Regarding the map of the USSR, of course..
This is a historical reference for colleagues!!
