Historical Description: The Order of the Red Banner, established in 1924 (and originally by the RSFSR in 1918), was one of the Soviet Union’s earliest and most prestigious military decorations, awarded for exceptional bravery, leadership, and service in combat. Bestowed upon members of the Red Army, Navy, security forces, and occasionally civilians or foreign allies, it became a symbol of revolutionary valor and loyalty to the Soviet state. The design features a red enameled banner with the motto “Proletarians of All Countries, Unite!” above a hammer and sickle, gold star, and wreath motif. Widely awarded during the Great Patriotic War, the order remains a significant emblem of Soviet military honor and ideological commitment.
