The modern replacement for the HSU, the Hero of the Russian Federation, is to be worn in the same spot as the old HSU.
Unless, that is, the holder also is a Hero of the Soviet Union. Then he may wear both. The HRF goes closest to the lapel and the HSU goes right next to it to the outside.
Putin is determined to reconnect modern Russia with the heroic parts of Soviet history. A rather popular goal. I think we should have no problem with that, especially as he is also interested in reconnecting the whole thing with all of Russian history.
