In 1974, a commemorative medal was struck to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the birth of Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union, Ivan Stepanovich Isakov, known in his native Armenian as Hovhannes Stepani Ter-Isahakyan. His distinguished military career and pivotal role in the development of the Soviet Navy during World War II were emblematically represented by this honor. Isakov's legacy as a tactician and strategist who significantly contributed to the Allied victory over Axis naval forces is a point of national pride. This commemoration not only recognizes Isakov's strategic prowess but also his Armenian heritage, symbolizing the significant impact of Armenians in the broader narratives of Soviet and World War II history.
