Ribbon of the Order of Honour

The Order of Honour (Russian: орден Почёта, tr. orden Pachyota, not to be confused with Soviet Order of the Badge of Honour) is a state order of the Russian Federation established by Presidential Decree № 442 of March 2, 1994[1] to recognise high achievements in government, economic, scientific, sociocultural, public, sport and charitable activities. Its statute was amended by decree № 19 of January 6, 1999[2] and more lately by decree № 1099 of January 7, 2010[3] which defined its present status. The Russian Federation Order provides continuity from the Soviet Union's identically named Order. The Soviet Order of Honor was denoted by a gray yellow edged ribbon.
