TheOrder of the Red Star(Russian:Орден Красной Звезды,romanized:Orden Krasnoy Zvezdy) was a military decoration of theSoviet Union. It was established by decree of thePresidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSRof 6 April 1930[1]but its statute was only defined in decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 5 May 1930.[2]That statute was amended by decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 7 May 1936,[3]of 19 June 1943,[4]of 26 February 1946, of 15 October 1947, of 16 December 1947[5]and by decree No 1803-X of 28 March 1980.[6]

Award statuteThe Order of the Red Star was awarded to soldiers of theSoviet Army,Navy,borderandinternal securityforces, employees of theState Security Committee of the USSR, as well asNCOsand officers of the bodies ofinternal affairs; to units, warships, associations, enterprises, institutions and organizations; as well as to military personnel of foreign countries:[6]
  • for personal courage and bravery in battle, for the excellent organization and leadership in combat that contributed to the success of our troops;
  • for successful operations of military units and formations which resulted in the enemy suffering considerable casualties or damage;
  • for outstanding service in ensuring public safety and the security of the State Border of the USSR;

The Order of the Red Star is worn on the right side of the chest and when in the presence of other orders of the USSR, placed immediately after theOrder of the Patriotic War2nd class.[4]If worn in the presence of Orders or medals of theRussian Federation, the latter have precedence.[7]

Long service award

The Order of the Red Star was also used as a long service award from 1944 to 1958 to mark fifteen years of service in the military, state security, or police. Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 14 September 1957[8]emphasised the devaluation of certain Soviet high military Orders used as long service awards instead of their originally intended criteria. This led to the joint 25 January 1958 decree of the Ministers ofDefence, ofInternal Affairsand of the Chairman of theCommittee on State Security of the USSRestablishing theMedal "For Impeccable Service"putting an end to the practice.
