Instruction manual

Medals and orders are not customary to wear on weekdays. According to etiquette norms, it is recommended to wear them on special solemn occasions and on holidays. You should not leave award marks at home when attending official events, especially those related to the work being performed or the position held (for example, a sporting event for prize-winners of any competition).

Particular attention should be paid to wearing government awards. If several medals or orders are put on at once, they should be arranged in a certain hierarchical sequence: - in the presence of state awards of the Russian Federation and the USSR, the first are placed in front of orders and medals of the USSR. In the event that there are awards issued by foreign states, then such medals, signs and orders should be attached below domestic ones;
- the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland" of the 1st degree is placed on the tape passing through the right shoulder of the awarded person, and the sign of the same Order II and III is attached to the neck tape;
- The Order of Courage is supposed to be worn on the chest (left), and the order awarded for military merit is also attached there. Below they are supposed to fix the Order of Honor and the Order of Friendship.
