            The Russian Federation awards system can be traced back to both the pre-1917 orders of the Russian Empire and the former Soviet orders that were slightly modified and kept after the USSR’s collapse. Additionally, there are many new awards that resemble Imperial awards in basic design or use the double-headed eagle. Finally, under the Russian Federation, there are also many awards that are now bestowed by ministries and departments that did not previously have their own honors system.

            The entire Russian Federation’s Federal Awards system was revised in 2010 by Presidential Decree No 1099 dated 7 Sep 2010. Under this decree, many of the old former Soviet orders that had been retained in 1991 were completely redesigned going from gold and silver breast stars to enameled medals mounted on ribbons. These new awards are included on these charts.

            There are five individual posters in this series:

            1. Orders of the Russian Federation.

            2. Decorations and Medals of the Russian Federation.

            3. Decorations and Medals of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

            4. Decorations and Medals of the Russian Intelligence and Security Services.

            5. Decorations and Medals of the Russian Interior Ministry.
