Medal For the Salvation of the Drowning

This medal should not be confused with other medals of the Russian Empire: “For the Rescue of Fellow Citizens” [«За спасение сограждан»], “For the Rescue of the Perishing” [«За спасение погибавших»], “For the Rescue of Humanity” [«За спасение человечества»], “For the Rescue of One’s Neighbors at Sea” [«За спасение ближних на море»], “For the Rescue of the Perishing at Sea” [«За спасение погибавших на море»], and “For Rescue” [«За спасение»].
