Orders, decorations, and medals of Russia

The State Award System of the Russian Federation has varied and distinct origins.

The first being pre-1917 orders of the Russian Empire re-established after the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union, the second is from former Soviet orders that were slightly modified and retained post 1991, we also find many completely new awards resembling Imperial awards in basic design since the reintroduction of Russian heraldry.

[1] The entire state awards' system of the Russian Federation was amended on September 7, 2010 by presidential decree No.

1099,[2] this all encompassing decree distanced modern Russian awards from their Soviet roots.

1631 of December 16, 2011[3] amended and finalized the order of precedence of all modern Russian awards.
