The Ushakov Medal, which is rarely awarded outside Russia, is a former Soviet, now Russian Federation, medal honouring bravery in naval theatres.
A SECOND World War veteran from Shepton Mallet has been awarded a top military medal – by Russia.
Thomas Dean is a veteran of the Arctic convoys, and was presented with the Ushakov Medal by a Russian Embassy official on the day of his 57th wedding anniversary.
