    It appears to be some sort of 50th anniversary commemorative of WW2. I am wondering what Country this is, what it could possibly say, and if there is any value here? Just picked it up for the shop for 10 dollars.

    Yes it looks like a Russian form of letters, I also think Russia was the only country to recruit women to their army and the rifle looks like a Mosin Nagant too

    There is nothing stereotypical about that, here is a famous reproduction of an actual battle, showing a Russian infantry bear from a grenadier squad:

    It commemmorates the partisan movement in the Great Patriotic War --- which means it honors the partisans who fought in WWII on Russia's side.... the words are Партизанское движение в Великой Отечественной войне Which translates Partisan Movement in Great Patriotic War


    and anytime you see the words
    Банк России
    on a coin, that translates to Bank of Russia.

    "Партизанское движение" means "partisan movement" (organization or group of people with a common goal or ideology), not "division".

    Definately not a Mosin-Nagant of any type - they (M38, M44, M91-30) all have full handguards. And the buttstock is all wrong. Looks like a hunting rifle.
