The correct name of this Order is Orden "Siylalliy Biaho"/Орден "Сийлале Бяхо" which translates to Order "Defender Of Honour".
It was created in two classes in 1996 and was produced by the Lithuanian company "Suvenyra" in Kaunus - The Saint Petersburg Mint would not be making awards for the enemy now would they?
The original batches sent to Chechnja were seized en route (believed to be the Belarussian authorities) with very, very few actually arriving in Grozny. These were not awarded and nearly all of those on the market are of later Lithuanian production. With them not being awarded - or even arriving photographs of them in wear will not surface.
A quirky bit of insurgent history that has certainly been cashed in on many times in the past.
There are other Chechen awards that were awarded in Grozny during the conflicts and that continue to be awarded by the "exiled Government" in Poland (Orders "National Hero" and "National Honour" amongst others).
