Here is this order's description :
Order of Zhukov (Orden Zhukova)
Established: May 9, 1994, by decree of president Yeltsyn (statutes from March 6, 1995)
Classes: single.
Star: a cross 50 x 50 mm, of four arms in the form of gold outlined red enameled gothic shields, with sets of six silver rays between them. Medallion: 24 mm of diameter, with the bust of Geoghi Zhukov en face on blue background. Above there is the semicircular inscription "Georghi Zhukov"; below a half laurel, half oak spray.
Ribbon bar: 24 mm, gold yellow with a broad white-blue-red stripe, 12 mm wide in the middle.
I agree : Marshal Zoukov deserves a specific and dedicated order... But, I have also to agree that this order is not designed with the quality Zhukov should have deserved.
But the quality of many Russia Federation's awards is in no way to compare with the Soviet Union's ones.
