Russian President Medvedev’s Decree


Hi everybody!

I just found out today that on the 8th of April 2009, Russian President Medvedev wrote a decree awarding me a Medal “For Services to the Homeland” of 2nd Level. It’s to honor me for winning the Women’s World Chess Championship in September 2008.

I’m very happy about it, but why did it take them so long to send me the original of the Decree?
