The Order of the Badge of Honor

The Order of the Badge of Honor (or орден «Знак Почёта» in Russian) was a civilian award of the Soviet Union established on 25 November 1935.

The order was conferred on citizens of the USSR for outstanding achievements in production, scientific research and social, cultural and other forms of social activity; for promotion of economic, scientific, technological, cultural and other ties between the USSR and other countries; and also for significant contribution to basic and applied research.

The “Order of the Badge of Honor” was awarded 1,574,368 times and later replaced by the “Order of Honor” (Орден Почёта) by a Decree of the Presidium of the USSR on 28 December 1988. Following the USSR dissolution, it was replaced by the “Order of Honor” of the Russian Federation, established by Presidential Decree no. 442 of 2 March 1994.
