Chapter 3, Article 60 of Law N 288-З allows any group (association) of workers to submit a recommendation (petition) for an individual to be awarded the title.

Governmental bodies, the National Assembly, the Council of Ministers, cabinet officials and public unions, among others, are also eligible to submit nominations for the title.

Under the Belarus Constitution (Part 4, Chapter 3, Article 84), the President of the Republic has the power to bestow state awards.

[4] Within two months, the title will be presented by the President in a formal setting, usually at the Independence Palace in the capital city of Minsk.

[2] Now this question is regulated by Law of the Republic of Belarus under June 14, 2007 N 239-З "About social privileges, rights and guarantees to a definite category of citizens".

[6] According to it, Heroes of Belarus have rights: The consumptions, connected with these privileges, are financed from means of republican and local budgets and of governmental social insurance.

Seeing the civilians on the ground, Karvat steered the plane away until it crashed one kilometer from the Brest Region settlements of Arabawshchyna and Vyalikaye Hatsishcha, killing him instantly.

President Alexander Lukashenko issued Decree Number 484 on November 21, 1996, which posthumously awarded Karvat the title Hero of Belarus.

[12][13] The crash site has been converted to a memorial for Karvat, where a copy of Lukashenko's decree is on the tail fin of the Sukhoi Su-27p.

[16][17] Alaksandar Dubko was posthumously awarded the hero title for his long service to the Belarusian and Soviet governments.

[1][18] Kirill Vakhromeev, the emeritus Metropolitan of Minsk and Slutsk, the Patriarchal Exarch of All Belarus, was awarded the hero title for his work to restore spirituality among the Belarusian population.

[20] Mikhail Vysotsky was awarded for running the research enterprise "Belavtotraktorostroyeniye", a part of the National Academy of Sciences.

Designed by V. Volynets, the 25,000 rouble stamp featured the medal on the left and Karvat's photo on the right in full color.

[23] The hero title was also featured in a set of stamps released by BELPOST in December 2006, depicting the state awards of Belarus.

A first day postal marking from Minsk also uses an outline of the medal, which is adorned with wreaths and the text "National Decorations of the Republic of Belarus" written in the Belarusian language.
