About award:
The Imperial Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George (Order of St. George) is the highest military award of the Russian Empire. In an expanded sense - an all-encompassing set of differences between officers, lower ranks, and military units.
It was established by Empress Catherine II on November 26 (December 7), 1769 in honor of St. George to distinguish officers for their services on the battlefield and for service in military ranks. He had four degrees of difference. The order awarded more than 10 thousand people, the first, highest degree of the order - only 23 people, of which only four became gentlemen of all 4 degrees. As well as 2 vestments of the badges of the Order of the 1st degree: Empress Catherine II on the occasion of the establishment of the Order and Emperor Alexander II on the occasion of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Order. The second degree of the order were awarded to 125 people.
From June 24, 1917, the 4th degree of the order could be awarded to soldiers and sailors who performed the duties of an officer in battle. At the same time, the sash was decorated with a silver laurel branch.
In Soviet Russia, the order was abolished after the October Revolution of 1917. Nevertheless, during the Civil War in 1918-1920, on the Eastern Front and in the Northern Army, whites practiced rewarding with the same name order (with the exception of the highest, 1st and 2nd degrees).
In 2000, the Order of St. George was reinstated as a military award of the Russian Federation.
The Order of St. George stood out by its statute among other Russian orders as a reward for personal valor in battle, and the merits for which an officer could be awarded a prize were strictly regulated by the statute of the order.
