The design of the new medal "For Courage" established by the President of Russia is shown
In the Russian Federation, a new award has been established - the medal "For Courage". The corresponding decree was previously signed by the head of state Vladimir Putin.
It is known that in the list of Russian medals the new award will take the third place - after the medal of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland" and the medal "For Courage".
The medal "For Courage" will be awarded for courage and bravery shown during the performance of combat and other tasks to protect the Fatherland and state interests. The text of the decree also emphasizes that not only citizens of the Russian Federation, but also citizens of foreign states and stateless persons can be awarded the medal "For Courage" if they have shown courage and courage in defending Russia and its state interests.
Interestingly, the story The Russian Empire already knows such an award. Since 1807, Russia has been awarded the medal "For Courage". In 1850-1913. such a medal was awarded to people who distinguished themselves in battles from the regions of the Caucasus, Transcaucasia and Central Asia, in connection with which the bulk of those awarded were representatives of the Caucasian peoples. The medal "For Courage" in the Russian Empire was worn on the St. George ribbon.
Probably, the first recipients of the medal "For Courage" may be Russian servicemen and volunteers participating in a special military operation in Ukraine and distinguished themselves in the performance of assigned tasks. The appearance of the new medal is an example of the revival of the award traditions of the Russian state.
