HISTORY The official statue of the medal was established on 9 May 1945 , which is celebrated in Russia and Eastern Europe as a Victory Day . Works on the medal prototype started already in the end of 1944 in the anticipation of the upcoming victory. Most of the awards were granted right after the end of the war. A proof of participation in the combat military operations was usually required, in order to be eligible for this decoration. After the war the medal, along with its less widespread sister medal '' For The Victory Over Japan '', was commonly used to distinguish between the actual veterans of World War II and all non-combat participants. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS The medal is made out of Brass and features the profile of Stalin at the front and the ''"For the Victory Over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945"'' text at the reverse. The ''ribbon'' of this medal is the Ribbon Of Saint George . EXTERNAL LINKS
