Translating from the Russian version of the article:


 * 1898 - Order of the Double Dragon (Chinese) 2nd Class 3rd Grade
 * 1900 - Order of Saint Anna 3rd degree < This makes sense, no reason to dispute
 * 1910 - Order of Saint Anna 2nd degree < This makes sense, no reason to dispute
 * - Order of Saint Stanislaus 2nd class < This makes some sense.
 * Order_of_Saint_Stanislaus_(House_of_Romanov): the order was added to the honors system of the Russian Empire in 1832, where it remained until 1917. The Order of Saint Stanislaus 3rd degree became the junior-most award in the order of precedence of Russian orders and was the most common reward. It was awarded to almost all military and government employees as well as civilians who served the empire with a blameless record, and who has status in the Russian table of ranks. In 1845 the highest command suspended the awarding of the 2nd and 3rd class. Awarding resumed on 28 June 1855, but from this date the right of hereditary nobility was awarded only with the 1st class of the Order of Saint Stanislaus, the other two being awarded with personal nobility only.
 * - Russian Geographical Society awarded the Lütke Gold Medal for his work on soil geography. cite: <makes sense. "In 1873, the Russian Geographical Society introduced the Lütke gold medal."


 * - Silver medal in memory of the reign of Alexander III (1845 - 1894) worn on the ribbon of the Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky < this makes little sense, begs verification. the Order of Saint Alexander "granted the highest esteem and was not usually bestowed upon people below the rank of Lieutenant-General or equal political status. It also granted hereditary nobility."
