Honorary titles of Russia

[citation needed] During the period of the Soviet Union, a system of professional honorary titles was created to be used across the USSR to recognize outstanding personal professional achievements.

The awards were also used in some other Eastern bloc states and communist countries.

[citation needed] On 30 December 1995, Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed Presidential Decree № 1341[1] on the establishment of the system of honorary titles of the Russian Federation.

Prior to that, the legal acts referred to honorary titles of the RSFSR.
