Medal “For the Return of Crimea” was established by the Russian Ministry of Defense in 2014. It has been awarded to the Russian soldiers who participated in the occupation of Crimea (the Green men), as well as to the local Crimean betrayers who helped Russia to annex Crimea. The medal has its own page on wikipedia:

Although the medals were awarded several months ago, in spring 2014, they came to news again in the context of deaths of Russian servicemen in Ukraine. It turned out that many Russian servicemen who participated in the annexation of Crimea were then sent to eastern Ukraine (in particular, the soldiers of the 76th Pskov division). Between the annexation of Crimea and their inglorious death in eastern Ukraine they managed to be awarded with the medal “For the Return of Crimea”. They thought that occupation of eastern Ukraine would be as easy as the occupation of Crimea, they were wrong and paid for this mistake with their lives.
