Major changes to the the Russian Award System
On September 7, 2010, president Medvedev signed the huge Ukaz #1099 reorganizing completely the Russian award system.
In short (and highly incomplete): . all future jubilee medals will no longer be state awards . the Order of the Red Star goes on retirement (it is not yet decided if it will be to Hawaii or the French Riviera ;)) . all orders will be on suspension (including Ushakov, Nakhimov, Nevski, Suvorov, Kutuzov, Zhukov) . all state-awarded medals will be numbered From the Ukaz, it can be deduced that all awards received before 7/9/2010 retain their priviledges and status.

Re: Major changes to the the Russian Award System
So all awards will be worn on the left breast from now?

Re: Major changes to the the Russian Award System
It is about time.
Was the Red Star being awarded for Soviet-era "catch up" accomplishments only? |

Re: Major changes to the the Russian Award System
There seems to be a great deal of detail there, but my online translation programs choke up at the length and legal intricacy of the text. I hope one of our experts will give it a read through and see what it says. Does it, for example, do anything about the proliferation of ministerial, private, and other non-State awards?
It does seem to retain the wearing of all unribboned right-chest Soviet awards in their old locations. The problem is that many of the new awards take the old name, add a ribbon and a cross, and plop them on the left chest among the neo-Tsarist stuff. If you make it to the end you will be rewarded by a very nice color plate showing these awards. |

Re: Major changes to the the Russian Award System
I see the end to State Jubilee medals as a way to clear up confusion. There are now so many non-Federal awards being issued why bother? Also if everything is numbered it will make it easier in the future to research although I don't think collectors will be finding this change friendly to their pocket. Hopefully this change can standardise the system rather than having modern, rehashed Soviet and rehashed Imperial awards competing. Progress?

Re: Major changes to the the Russian Award System
This ukaz deals (and intends to deal) with only with narrowly defined "State" awards. It ignores the the various church awards (which no one dares to touch), the private medals (whether veterans bodies, "Cossack", "Umalatova ", or other), and every-growing ministerial awards. It will be interesting to see if there is every any effort at controlling these.

From what I understand, it would seem so.
Quote:
Apparently, the Red Star was part of the RF award system up until this Ukaz, although I do not know of any awarding of it as a Russian award. As far as catch-up awards go, I tend to think that they will keep awarded them to those who earned them way back when, but never physically received their award.

Some more important novelties that I forgot to mention:
. the gold star of Hero of the RF can only be awarded once. This means then end of multiple heros. . awards can be made only once every 5 years, and provided the new award is based upon new achievements. In other terms, if someone receives a State award in, say, 2011, he cannot receive another State award before 2016, and in order to be awarded in 2016, s/he will need to have achieved something worthy for the award. Exception to this rule are cases of bravery, risk of life and the like. Quote:
This Ukaz addresses (re)defines the State award system, nothing else. Regarding previous awards (tsarist, Soviet, Russian up to 7/9/2010), they retain their prerogatives and privileges, and are worn the way they were supposed to be when awarded (hence, Soviet screwbacks on the right side of the chest).

Russia's Modernised Orders
Has Medvedev's Sept. 7, 2010 decree regarding improvement of an award system been discussed on the forum? The belated news of order refacing shocked me.
