"Fontanka" has helped return the medal "For Courage", which he was awarded the first, and then his family searched for more than 60 years. An employee of one of the St. Petersburg restaurants accidentally discovered it in the sand, brought for the construction work two years ago, but failed to find the owners of the coin is only now, when the young man turned to reporters.
Award accidentally found in the sand, brought to strengthen the summer terrace of a restaurant in St. Petersburg in the spring of 2009. Pick up an old, worn medal waiter Alex told "Fontanka" that once decided, it certainly should be returned to the owner or, after so many years, even though his family. In the two years that have passed since then, Alex has become almost an expert in numismatics and was able to determine that they found it was awarded a medal during the war (after the award has undergone some changes in the appearance). I searched the forums, talked with knowledgeable people, trying to give discovery to the police, where it was not accepted by sending a young man to the military. However, in the military on Vasilyevsky Island to Walker did not show proper attention.
Some time ago, the journalists learned about Alexei "Fontanka". Referring to the Western Military District, we were able to establish that this reward was awarded nearly 66 years ago. Just a day from the main military archive came the answer: this medal "For Courage" was awarded to Anatoly Efremovich Osjukhina 14 April 1945 in accordance with the order of the commander of 37 Guards Rifle Corps Svirsky Army 9 3 Ukrainian Front.
