St. George's Ribbon The St. George's Ribbon is an attribute of many military awards of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and modern Russia, characterized as a special insignia.

The St. George Ribbon originally appeared with the Imperial Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George, the highest military award of the Russian Empire. This order was established by Empress Catherine II in 1769 to honor officers for their services on the battlefield.

Saint George is a great martyr. He was tortured and killed by the enemies of Christianity - the pagans. For his courage and spiritual victory over his tormentors, who could not force him to renounce Christianity, as well as for his miraculous help to people in danger, Saint George is also called the Victorious.

On the icons, Saint George is depicted sitting on a white horse and slaying a serpent with a spear. This image is based on legend and refers to the posthumous miracles of the Holy Great Martyr George.

Order of St. George In Russia, the Holy Great Martyr George was very loved and revered. Therefore, they gave his name to the most honorable military order. This order was awarded only to officers and generals for personal military merits.

The Order was awarded to: Those who “personally leading an army, will win a complete victory over an enemy with significant forces, the consequence of which will be its complete destruction.” “personally leading an army, he will take a fortress” For taking the enemy’s banner, capturing the commander-in-chief of the enemy army and other outstanding feats.

Order of awarding the order The first time the lowest, 4th degree was awarded, the next time the higher 3rd, then the 2nd and, finally, the one who accomplished the fourth outstanding feat could be nominated for the Order of St. George, 1st degree.

The Order of St. George was divided into four classes. The first degree of the order had three signs: a cross, a star and a ribbon consisting of three black and two orange stripes, which was worn over the right shoulder under the uniform. The second degree of the order also had a star and a large cross, which was worn around the neck on a narrower ribbon. The third degree is a small cross on the neck, the fourth is a small cross in the buttonhole.

This is not only a tribute to the memory of those who fell on the battlefield, but also gratitude to the people who went through WAR

St. George ribbons have semantic symbolism. Their colors - black and orange - mean “smoke and flame”, characteristic of wartime. The St. George ribbons personify the feat of the Russian warrior on the battlefields, in the rear and on the front line.

This, still relatively young, fairly new symbolism awakens in people, first of all, patriotic feelings, filling them with a sense of pride in their victorious country. In addition to all of the above, bright ribbons evoke cheerful, festive emotions and give a feeling of inviolability and unity.

Rusanova.O.P.

The veneration of George as a saint immediately spread throughout the empire and was confirmed by many miracles.

Great Martyr George for courage and for spiritual victory over the torturers who could not force him to renounce Christianity, as well as for miraculous help people are in danger - also called Victorious .

The first medals on the St. George Ribbon were awarded in August 1787, when a small detachment under the command of Suvorov repelled an attack by a superior Turkish landing force trying to capture the Kinburn fortress.

For the first time in Russian history, the medal was not awarded to everyone who took part in the battle; it was awarded only to those who showed greatest personal courage and heroism. Moreover, it was up to the soldiers who took direct part in the hostilities to decide who was more worthy of the award. They were awarded 20 people.

Thus, in the Russian award system a whole military reward system, among which the St. George Ribbon was a kind of connecting link of all of them into a single whole, representing symbol of military valor and glory .
