If you are in search of the owner of a lost reward that somehow got to you, it means that fate has rewarded you with a noble heart. After all, it is no secret that orders and medals, behind which stand someone's valor, courage, work, are not of moral value for everyone. For some, what a falerist or collector will lay out for them is much more significant. Finding a person by order can be difficult if the surname of its owner is not known, if the order was issued in another region or country. But in any case, you need to start with archived data.
Instructions
Step 1
Contact your regional commissariat to find information in the awards archives for your region. If it turns out that the order was not issued on the territory of your region, the specialists of the military commissariat will send a request to the Ministry of Defense. At the same time, if the owner is not established, the award must be returned by law to the administration of the President of the Russian Federation.
Step 2
Continue your own search if you want to see it through to the end. You can contact the Russian State Military Archives, contact information can be found at the link: https://rusarchives.ru/federal/rgva/index.shtm. If there are award documents, use the information in the databas
Step 3
Also, for an independent search for a person, contact the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with a corresponding request. It is located at: 142100, Moscow region, Podolsk, st. Kirov, 74. The request can also be sent to the Military Memorial Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at the address: 103160, Moscow, K-160, st. Znamenka, 19.

Here is the Central Naval Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Step 4

Strekalov: "Order of the Red Star", "Order of Lenin", "Order of the Red Banner". These books contain information on awards, awards and awards documents with sufficient completeness. And "Obverse No. 6" is a favorite book of the phalerists, perhaps, it will give ideas about other ways of searching.

Search the Internet for a portal about awards, awards and awardees by typing the line "onagradah.ru" in the search engine.
