Order of Lenin, type 3
The Order of Lenin (Russian: Орден Ленина, romanized: Orden Lenina, pronounced[ˈordʲɪnˈlʲenʲɪnə]) was an award named after Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the October Revolution. It was established by the Central Executive Committee on 6 April 1930. The order was the highest civilian decoration bestowed by the Soviet Union. The order was awarded to:
Civilians for outstanding services rendered to the State
Members of the armed forces for exemplary service
Those who promoted friendship and cooperation between people and in strengthening peace
Those with meritorious services to the Soviet state and society[1]
From 1944 to 1957, before the institution of specific length of service medals, the Order of Lenin was also used to reward 25 years of conspicuous military service. Those who were awarded the titles "Hero of the Soviet Union" and "Hero of Socialist Labour" were also given the order as part of the award. It was also bestowed on cities, companies, factories, regions, military units, and ships. Various educational institutions and military units who received the said Order applied the full name of the order into their official titles.
