The international research group Bellingcat analyzed information on awarding Russian servicemen with combat awards, collected by user @Askai70715 and the InformNapalm team from open sources, and came to the conclusion that over the past two years, the number of those awarded is many times higher than the number of military personnel awarded medals in previous years. GORDON quotes a stripped-down version of the report, which Bellingcat researchers say "supports claims that thousands of Russian troops were operating in eastern Ukraine."

Since the beginning of the war in the Donbass, Russia has issued significantly more awards to the military than in the "peace period"

In the report, the Bellingcat team analyzed data on awarding four medals: "For military honors", "For Courage", the Zhukov medal and the Suvorov medal. Each medal has a unique number; thus, by finding two medals issued at different times, you can find out how many people were awarded during this period.

devil in medals

Due to the nature of the data published in open sources, it is impossible to indicate the exact number of Russian military personnel who participated in the battles in eastern Ukraine without additional information. We have already mentioned reports that there were or still are thousands of Russian military personnel in Ukraine who are also actively participating in the fighting. Data from open sources confirm the presence of Russian military personnel and units/formations of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine, but it is very difficult to estimate their number, even approximately, based on the available information.

Only a part of the Russian servicemen published posts on social networks indicating participation in the Ukrainian conflict. Those who gave interviews to the press, openly acknowledging the fact of such participation, are even fewer. Not surprisingly, only a small percentage of military personnel sent to Ukraine have made publicly available information confirming their participation in combat, and that such information is becoming less and less as the number of investigations based on it increases. Thus, the fact that the InformNapalm team managed to find more than a hundred profiles of such people in social networks is already a great achievement in itself. At the same time, it is obvious that in fact there were much more Russian military personnel in Ukraine. @Askai707 indicates which Russian units/formations were involved in combat or located in eastern Ukraine. Documentary confirmation of the Russian military presence not only gives an idea of ​​the individual cases of the presence of Russian military personnel on Ukrainian territory, but also makes it possible to indirectly assess them. total.

We used images of medals published by Russian military personnel who, according to previous analysis, were definitely or allegedly involved in combat operations in Ukraine. This report considers only those medals that have serial numbers. [...] We will compare the number of medals awarded from 2014 to 2016 with the number of medals awarded before 2014 to understand whether Russian military personnel were involved in the Ukrainian conflict.

The obvious advantage of this approach is that with a relatively small amount of data analyzed, one can get a clear idea of ​​the dates of awards and the number of medals issued over a certain period of time.

The fact that a medal is awarded to any military or civilian person may provide information about Russia's involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, even if we do not know anything about the connection of this award with the fighting in eastern Ukraine. Thus, we do not need to confirm that the awarded military personnel were or are still in Ukraine, since the only thing that interests us is the number of medals awarded. Of course, this approach has some drawbacks, because not all medals were awarded to those military personnel who participated in the hostilities in Ukraine. Moreover, the awards we are talking about are given not only for military merits and not only to those who are on active duty in the Russian army. Therefore, the number of medals awarded must be interpreted with caution.

Medal "For Combat Distinction"

Ministry of Defense medal Russian Federation"For military distinctions" are awarded to military personnel of the armed forces of the Russian Federation:

* for distinction, courage and dedication shown in the performance of tasks in combat conditions and in the conduct of special operations in conditions involving a risk to life;
* for skillful, proactive and decisive actions that contributed to the successful completion of combat missions;
* for the successful management of the actions of subordinates in the performance of combat missions.

Thus, the medal is quite suitable for the purposes of our study. It is marked with a serial number, it was established after two Chechen wars and is awarded only to Russian military personnel and only for participation in hostilities or combat missions. This means that the medal should have been awarded only for participation in clashes in the Caucasus in the period after the Chechen conflict and for participation in the Russian-Georgian war of 2008. Considering that until September 2015, Russian troops were not officially involved in any armed conflict, in 2014 and in the first half of 2015 the number of medals awarded should not have increased. However, we see a sharp increase in this number between 2014 and 2016. Most of the medals were awarded before September 1, 2015.

For example, on November 7, 2014, the medal "For Combat Distinction" No. 2464 was awarded. We can see that over the following months, the number of medals awarded increased greatly: on March 26, 2015, medal #5507 was awarded, on August 6, medal #5741, and on February 28, 2016, medal #6802. In general, from November 7, 2014 to February 28, 2016, more than 4,300 medals "For Combat Distinction" were issued, of which about 3600 - in the period from November 2014 to September 2015 .

In the course of the analysis, we were unable to find a source that would indicate the number of medals "For Distinction in Battle" awarded for participation in the Russian-Georgian war of 2008. However, we found a source that lists the number of awards given from 2003 to 2008. It says that 492 medals "For military distinction" were awarded between August 25, 2003 and June 1, 2008, of which 253 were for participation in counter-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus region.

Examples of certificates for the medal "For Combat Distinction", examples of certificates, top left - medal No. 2464, top right - medal No. 5507, bottom left - medal No. 5741, bottom right - medal No. 6802

Thus, during this period, on average, less than 0.3 medals were awarded per day, and from 25.08.2003 to 07.11.2014 - about 0.6. The latter figure covers the 2008 Russo-Georgian War and also possibly includes some of the medals awarded in the second half of 2014. However, it seems insignificant compared to the average of 9.3 medals per day between November 7, 2014 and February 18, 2016.

In 2014, between the first two known dates, the number of medals per day is very high (more than 60 medals per day). This indicator is in high level throughout November and December 2014. The highest figure was recorded in the period from 10 to 16 December 2014 (more than 70 medals per day). In the first three months of 2015, there is again a relatively high number of medals (10 medals per day), it increases sharply in the second half of March 2015. Between March 2015 and April 2015, the number of medals per day is relatively small, but still noticeably higher than in 2003-2014. This figure increases in August 2015 and early September 2015, but is still significantly lower than in March 2015. From September 2015 to February 2016, it is about five medals a day.

You can trace the connection between the number of medals per day and the events in the east of Ukraine. In August and early September 2014, the fiercest battles were in full swing in eastern Ukraine. A few months later, the opponents of the Ukrainian army launched a winter offensive, during which they captured the Donetsk airport and Debaltseve. This period is characterized by a significant number of medals awarded. The relative calm in the second quarter of 2015 is also characterized by a relatively small number of medals awarded. At the same time, the sharp escalation of the conflict in August 2015 is followed by an increase in the average number of medals awarded per day.

Medal of Honor"

The medal "For Courage" is awarded to military personnel, as well as employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, the State Fire Service of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Disaster Relief and other citizens for personal courage and courage shown:

* in battles in defense of the Fatherland and state interests of the Russian Federation;
* when performing special tasks to ensure the state security of the Russian Federation;
* when protecting the state border of the Russian Federation;
* in the performance of military, service or civil duty, the protection of the constitutional rights of citizens and in other circumstances involving a risk to life.

Since this award was established in 1994, it was probably awarded both for both Chechen wars and for the Russian-Georgian war in 2008. In addition, this medal is awarded not only to military personnel and not only for participation in hostilities or combat missions. This makes it difficult to collect information about this medal.

On this moment managed to find seven medals awarded in 2014-2016. The first of the established medals awarded in 2014 is number 64145. The two medals awarded in December 2014 are Nos. 65059 and 65392. Of the medals awarded in 2015, one was awarded in June, another in August and another two in November. The last known medal number is 66613. From September 1, 2014 to November 23, 2015, about 2470 medals were awarded, of which about 2260 were awarded from September 1, 2014 to August 24, 2015.

Considering that so many medals were awarded before September 1, 2014, it is quite difficult to assess the significance of the 2,470 medals awarded between September 1, 2014 and November 23, 2015 without additional information. On average, in 1994-2014, about 8.6 medals were awarded per day, and from 09/01/2014 to 11/23/2015 - about 6.3 medals. However, many of these medals were probably awarded for actions in the Chechen wars.
For example, it is indicated that medal No. 30706 was awarded on February 21, 2000. There is a picture of the medal #61161 awarded on September 27, 2008. Thus, it can be established that the number of medals "For Courage" awarded per day in peaceful years is significantly lower than the average for years. Judging by the medals No. 61161 and No. 64145, from September 2008 to August 2014, an average of about 1.4 medals were awarded per day. This figure is significantly lower than the 6.3 medals per day awarded from September 2014 to November 2015.

Suvorov medal

The Suvorov Medal is awarded to military personnel for personal courage and courage shown in the defense of the Fatherland and the state interests of the Russian Federation:

* in combat operations on land;
* when performing combat service and combat duty;
* when participating in exercises and maneuvers;
* when performing service for the protection of the state border of the Russian Federation;
* for excellent performance in combat training and field training.

The year of establishment and the principles of awarding impose almost the same restrictions on the analysis of the medal as those regarding the medal "For Courage". It was probably awarded to participants in both the Chechen wars and the Russian-Georgian war of 2008. Moreover, this medal is also awarded not only for participation in hostilities or combat missions.

It was possible to identify 13 Suvorov medals awarded in 2014-2015. The first of them was awarded on November 24, 2014 and has the number 41099. Six medals are known to have been awarded in 2014. However, four of them were awarded on the same day in December 2014. The number of the sixth medal, 41422, does not match the award date and is therefore not considered in the analysis. It is known about seven medals awarded in 2015. One of them was awarded in February, two - in March, one more each - in April and May, and finally two - in December. The last known medal was awarded on December 8, 2015 and has the number 43672. Thus, from November 2014 to December 2015, about 2,570 medals were awarded.

In the figure on the left, the date is represented as dots, for each day the last medal number for that day is used, and linear interpolation is used to connect the dots. In the figure on the right, the difference in medal numbers for 2 different dates and the number of days elapsed are used to calculate the number of medals awarded per day. The vertical gray lines mark the first day of the year. The lighter rectangle indicates the situation between September 2013 and November 2014.

The top red line marks the average number of medals awarded per day from 1994 to 11/24/2014

The top red line marks the average number of medals awarded per day from 1994 to 11/24/2014

On average, from 1994 to 2014, about 5.5 medals were awarded per day, while from November 24, 2014 to December 8, 2015, about 6.8 medals were awarded.

Zhukov medal

The Zhukov medal is awarded to military personnel for courage, dedication and personal courage shown

* in combat operations in the defense of the Fatherland and the state interests of the Russian Federation;
* for special distinctions in combat service, combat duty and participation in exercises and maneuvers,
* for excellent performance in combat training.

The study of the Zhukov medal has some limitations, which are also characteristic of the medal "For Courage" and the medal of Suvorov. First of all, this is due to the fact that the criteria for awarding this medal are also not limited to participation in hostilities and the performance of combat missions. However, the reset of numbering in 2010 greatly simplifies the analysis of medal numbers. The current numbering of medals does not take into account the Chechen wars and the Russian-Georgian war of 2008.

Only four such medals are known. The first known medal, number 277, was awarded on December 12, 2014, the second (#361) shortly thereafter, on December 25. The third medal, #541, was awarded on January 22, 2015. Finally, the fourth medal, #1349, was awarded on December 8, 2015. Thus, from December 12, 2014 to December 8, 2015, more than a thousand medals were awarded, while from the date of the change in the medal statute in 2010 until this period, no more than 277 medals were awarded.

During this period, almost four times more medals were awarded than from 2010 to December 2014.

Results

The most obvious evidence of the active participation of Russian military personnel in hostilities is the significant number of medals "For Combat Distinction" awarded. From November 7, 2014 to February 18, 2016, 4,300 of these medals were awarded. This indicates that during this period the Russian army took an active part in major hostilities. In addition, a significant number of the other three types of medals awarded are not typical for a country not in hostilities. Thus, the presented data indicate that more than 10,000 medals of all four types were awarded during the period under review.

Accordingly, we can draw the following conclusion: in 2014-2015, thousands of Russian servicemen took part in hostilities and were awarded medals. The results of the study sharply contradict Russian claims that active Russian military personnel did not participate in the hostilities in 2014 and in the first two-thirds of 2015. In this case, the question arises: in what kind of undeclared war did the armed forces of the Russian Federation participate in this period? However, it was during this period that the most active phase of the war in eastern Ukraine fell.

It is most likely that this conflict is the undeclared war in which the armed forces of the Russian Federation have participated and continue to participate. Thus, taking into account the evidence presented in earlier studies, we can conclude the following: "Thousands of Russian servicemen took part in the fighting in eastern Ukraine and were awarded medals for their participation in these operations".

Furthermore, in view of the significant number of different awards presented during this period, and since it is rather unrealistic to assume that every Russian soldier who took part in the conflict in eastern Ukraine received one of the medals studied, one more conclusion can be drawn: "Most likely, more than 10,000 Russian troops took part in the fighting in eastern Ukraine. Most likely, tens of thousands of Russian troops took part in the conflict in eastern Ukraine directly or indirectly.".
