Order "Gold Star".

Very interesting, I've noticed the successor to the Hero of the Soviet Union as the Hero of the Russian Federation, about time an updated HSL came out.

Re: Post-Soviet equivalent of Hero of Socialist Labor?

It takes a lot of chutzpah to make an unofficial award in the unmistakable likeness of a current state award (even with a few added embellishments), and the highest title at that ...

Hmm, well since we're on the topic of Fed awards, how rare are Heroes of the Russian Federation? :D

From the folks at Wikipedia:

"To date, the award has been presented an estimated 750 times, including 340 times posthumously."
