My father's unit should have gotten medals from the Russians as well since they hauled supplies by truck across the Persian desert to Armenia during to war:

Note that my father, a Tech Sargent, was part of the first US unit (Army Quartermasters Corp) to arrive in Iran in 1942 and he served continuously until the war in Europe ended in 1945.
