Soviet Russian USSR Medal Order of the Red Star in the #3.5 million serial number range awarded in 1958 to Private Leonid Pavlovich Baigozin, a POW, who was surrounded and captured at Tula in 1941 and held in captivity until being liberated by the advancing Red Army on December 24, 1944. Baigozin rejoined the Red Army and continued to fight.
