Order for Personal Courage

Badge

Ribbon

The Order for Personal Courage was established by Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 28 December, 1988.

This decoration could be awarded to any URSS citizen showing outstanding courage and bravery during life-saving, keeping of public order and safeguard of State property, as well as for fighting crime, environmental catastrophes and other exceptional events.

The award was designed by A.B.Zhuk and represents a silver gilded silver star with words "For Personal Courage" and "URSS" written on it. Incidentally, the Order for Personal Courage is one of the few awards that survived the fall of the URSS in 1991.
