Since the beginning of the 50s, civilians could also receive the Order of Lenin for long-term and fruitful work. This led to the fact that over the last 40 years of the existence of the USSR, the Order of Lenin was awarded more than 360 thousand times.

The Order of Lenin was awarded to almost all top-ranking Soviet leaders. Many of the foreign figures of the communist movement, such as Georgy Dimitrov, Gustav Husak, Janos Kadar, Dolores Ibárruri, Ho Chi Minh, Walter Ulbricht, Fidel Castro and others, received the Order of Lenin.

A number of high-ranking Soviet military personnel were awarded the Order of Lenin several times. Thus, eight Orders of Lenin were awarded to Marshals of the Soviet Union I.Kh. Bagramyan, L.I. Brezhnev, S.M. Budyonny, A.M. Vasilevsky, V.D. Sokolovsky, Army General P.I. Batov, academicians A. Tupolev N., Lysenko T.D., Ilyushin S.V.

Many enterprises have been awarded the Order of Lenin more than once. For example, three Orders of Lenin were awarded to the Moscow Automobile Plant named after. Likhachev - “ZIL”.

The Order of Lenin was awarded to military units, formations and associations. The largest association of military units awarded this order was the district (for example, Moscow, Order of Lenin military district).

The Lenin Komsomol was awarded three Orders of Lenin.

The last recipient of the Order of Lenin in the history of the USSR was the director of the Maslyaninsky brick factory Novosibirsk region Yakov Yakovlevich Mul. He was awarded this award by Decree of the President of the USSR No. UP-3143 dated December 21, 1991 “for his great personal contribution to the reconstruction and technical re-equipment of the enterprise and the achievement of high performance in work.”

As of January 1, 1995, 431,417 awards of the Order of Lenin were made. Taking into account one award made in 1996, total number awards of the Order of Lenin amounted to 431,418.

Initially, in addition to the wreath of ears of corn that framed the central round medallion, the hammer and sickle, and the letters “USSR,” the composition also included a triangle at the bottom of the order, symbolizing the union of workers, the working peasantry and the intelligentsia. This version of the order was not approved.
It was also intended that when re-awarding the Order of Lenin to one person, the serial number of the award should be placed in a special shield at the bottom of the obverse of the order badge, as was already done with the Order of the Red Banner. However, this idea was rejected.

The badge of the Order of Lenin from 1930 was a round medallion portrait with a bas-relief of Lenin in the center and an industrial landscape in the background. Under the bas-relief of Lenin there was an image of a tractor (because of this, this type received the nickname “Tractor” from collectors). The medallion was surrounded by an applied gold rim, which was attached by soldering. On the front side, the gold rim had a groove filled with ruby red enamel. Around the medallion, outside the gold rim, there were ears of wheat, on which a gilded sickle and hammer were superimposed in the upper part of the sign, and in the lower part - the inscription “USSR”. The letters of the inscription are made of gold and covered with red enamel. Each letter was separate element and was attached by soldering. The sign itself was made of 925 sterling silver. Orders of the first type are made of two parts. The front part of the order and, separately from it, the back part were made. Then both halves were carefully connected to each other using soldering. The inside of the sign is hollow. On the reverse of the order, in the central part, there was a two-stage flange into which a threaded pin was inserted. The clamping nut is made of silver. On inside the nut has a soldered bronze washer with a thread.

About 700 orders of the first type were issued.

Since the first type of the Order of Lenin lacked images of the main proletarian symbols - the Red Star and the Red Banner, it was decided to slightly change the appearance of the sign. The new statute of the Order of Lenin was approved by the Decree of the USSR Central Executive Committee of September 27, 1934. The Order of Lenin was now made not of silver, but of 650 gold. The images of a tractor and an industrial landscape disappeared from the obverse of the order, and the inscription USSR also disappeared. The new type of order featured a Red Banner with the inscription LENIN and the Red Star. The Hammer and Sickle moved from the top of the order to bottom part. The Red Banner, Red Star, Hammer and Sickle on the second type badge are covered with ruby red enamel. The central round medallion portrait with the image of the leader is silver plated. The surface of the ears around the medallion has a natural gold surface.

The decree of June 19, 1943 established the procedure for wearing orders that had a star shape on pins on the right side of the chest, and orders that had an oval or round shape- on the left side of the chest on pentagonal blocks, covered with the ribbon of the order. The Order of Lenin acquired an eyelet in the upper part of the order badge, into which a ring was threaded, connected to the pentagonal block. By the time this Decree was issued, the Krasnokamsk Mint still had a number of screw-fastened orders that had already been manufactured. It was decided to remake these signs for wearing on a block, in accordance with the text of the Decree. The alteration was carried out by removing a segment of the reverse surface and replacing it with a similar-shaped segment that had an eyelet for attaching a suspension block. The segment with the eye was attached by soldering. This option is called "dovetail".

The Order of Lenin is the highest state award of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, established by a resolution of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR on April 6, 1930.

History of the order

In July 1926, the head of the main department of the Red Army, V.N. Levichev, proposed creating a fundamentally new award for soldiers and commanders of the Red Army and Navy who already had distinctions from the government of the young Soviet Republic. By this time, the Order of the Red Star already existed in the award system of Soviet Russia as the highest award, but there were already multiple recipients. Therefore, he proposed creating an order that alone could replace many others. In addition, it should have become the highest award, and the rest, by their status, should have had a lower level in the hierarchy of awards of the Soviet state. Initially, the new award was to be called the “Order of Ilyich”, and in essence be an exclusively combat award. But, since the Civil War had already ended by this time, the draft of a new award was not accepted. Although, according to the Council of People's Commissars, the need for a higher, universal award was obvious.

Late 20s, early 30s. years, the issue of creating a new award again becomes relevant. The Moscow Goznak factory receives the task of creating a sketch that would depict V.I. Lenin. The author of the sketch, which was taken as the basis for the new sign, was the artist I. I. Dubasov. When working on the sketch, Dubasov used as a basis for the drawing a photograph of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, taken by photographer Bulla V. in 1920 at the second congress of the Comintern, held in Moscow. In the spring of 1930, the sketch was handed over for revision to the sculptors Shadr I. and Taezhny P., who created the model. In the same year, the first prototypes of the sign were manufactured at the Goznak factory in Moscow. The new award was named Order of Lenin.

It was officially established in April 1930, and the statute was established in May of the same year. The final revision of the statute was made in 1980. From that time until the moment when it was no longer the USSR, but the Russian Federation, that was excluded from the awards system, the statute did not change. According to the statute Order of Lenin- the highest award of the USSR. Awarded for fruitful work aimed at protecting the Socialist Fatherland, certain merits in revolutionary and labor activities. And also for a significant contribution to the development of friendship and cooperation between peoples and states, aimed at strengthening peace.

Types of Orders of Lenin

The first type of the Order of Lenin

First view was established by a decision of the USSR Central Executive Committee on May 23, 1930. Lenin was depicted in the center, looking to the left. Factories were located against its background. Under his head was a tractor, which almost completely covered Vladimir Ilyich’s shoulders. Then there was a small gold band in the shape of a circle. Outside the rim there were ears of wheat. On the bottom is written “USSR” in gold, and on top is a hammer and sickle in the shape of state symbols. When creating this order, the following standards were applied:

metal – 925 sterling silver and 900 sterling gold;
height – 38 mm;
width – 37.5 mm;
circulation – 700 copies.

Stopped production orders of the first type due to the fact that some other awards used more gold than the country's highest award.

Second type of the Order of Lenin

Order of Lenin, second type was established on September 27, 1934. For him only the width and height standards were changed. They were 38 mm and 38.5 mm, respectively. Gold was 750 standard.

On the second Order of Lenin Lenin was also depicted looking to the left. He is dressed in a suit. The portrait is surrounded by a golden circle. Ears of wheat, as in the first type of order, are made of gold. But at the top of the reward is a red flag. It says "LENIN" on it. The flagpole is the highest point of the award. On the left is a red five-pointed star, and below is a hammer and sickle. The order was fastened with three special rivets installed on the reverse smooth side.

It is worth noting that on the back of every medaltypes the serial number of the award was knocked out, which corresponded to the number in the state register.

First awards

As soon as the decree establishing the new order was published, several factory Komsomol organizations in Leningrad immediately came up with a proposal: for services in educating young people, the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda should be awarded the Order of Lenin, the fifth anniversary of which was to be celebrated on May 24, 1930. The initiative of the Leningrad Komsomol members was supported by the youth of many other cities and villages of the country. On May 23, 1930, Komsomolskaya Pravda was awarded this award.

Panchenko was surrounded during a battle with the Basmachi and, having fired all his cartridges, found himself unarmed. When the bandits rushed towards him to capture him, the brave warrior snatched the saber from the sheath of one of the Basmachi and put the enemies to flight.

In this study, I want to talk about my fellow countrymen, leaders in production, whose names are undeservedly forgotten by the modern generation. Once upon a time, portraits of leaders in production, primarily agriculture, decorated the foyer of the Razin House of Culture. These respected people served as an example of hard work and responsible performance of their professional duty.

In the early 80s, the House of Culture was undergoing renovations. All the portraits were taken down and never hung again. Together with them, people who selflessly worked not for the sake of fame also disappeared into oblivion. Simply because they couldn’t do it any other way. The hard work of many of our fellow countrymen was appreciated. In this regard, I would like to remember and talk about those who were awarded one of the highest awards - the Order of Lenin.

The Order of Lenin was established on July 8, 1926. It was to become the highest military insignia. At the same time, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR recognized the need to create the highest award, awarded not only for military, but also for labor merits. The Order of Lenin was finally established in 1930 as the highest badge for services to the Fatherland. The appearance, dimensions and materials used to make the order changed many times, but the status of the award was constant.

The first personal award of the order took place in the Soviet Union in 1934, the last in 1991. In total, 431,418 awards were made. On the territory of the former Razinsky village council there were also people awarded this high award. According to my calculations, these are seven people whom I would like to name.

teacher

The first of the awarded was Alexandra Mikhailovna Okuneva. Her working life began in 1918 in Shapsha. She came here as a young teacher to impart her knowledge to children. 1930 Zlobinskaya primary school of Katromsky s/s. One teacher for the entire school, working two shifts. In 1937, as an incentive, she was invited to a gathering of excellent teachers, held in Arkhangelsk, where the teacher was awarded a library card.

In 1940, Alexandra Mikhailovna was appointed head of Petryaevskaya primary school Razinsky s/s. And, as always, great public work: r/s deputy, member of the audit commission, agitator. For eleven years the teacher taught at the Petryaevskaya school with two classes. And the last two years - with four classes in two shifts.

The Soviet government highly appreciated the long-term, impeccable work and great public activity of A.M. Okuneva. In 1945, she was awarded the medal “For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945,” and in 1949, the Order of Lenin for her long, impeccable work in educating the younger generation and great social activity. In 1954, Alexandra Mikhailovna retired; her teaching experience was 36 years.

Educators who, together with the Soviet government, sought universal literacy and brought culture to the people, naturally deserved honor and respect, like A.M. Okuneva.

Station Manager

Another Lenin order bearer is Grigory Ivanovich Falin, who worked for a long time as the head of the Punduga station. Despite the fact that Grigory Ivanovich graduated from only 2 classes of a rural school, he achieved great success in his profession, going through his career from a maintenance worker to a station manager.

In addition to the Order of Lenin, he was awarded numerous thanks: “for his attentive attitude to the safety of train traffic, “for excellent accident-free operation”, “for his vigilance and initiative in ensuring the safety of train traffic, bringing the station into excellent condition”, was awarded the medal “For labor valor”, badges “Excellent mover”, “Honorary railway worker”. He had the honorary titles of 1st rank movement technician and movement engineer-lieutenant.

The submission to the order contains the following characteristics: “Comrade. Over the long period of his production activity, G.I. Falin showed himself to be an experienced commander who loved his job, trained dozens of station duty officers, passing on his experience and knowledge to them. Discipline among station employees is at a high level. Technical training is carried out regularly. Comrade Falin is a seasoned and energetic commander who enjoys authority not only among his employees, but also among the entire team of movements of the Vologda branch of the Northern Railway.”

Road master

In 1952, the Order of Lenin was awarded to Nikolai Ivanovich Kvashnin. Nikolai Ivanovich began working on the railway at the age of 14. In 1922 he was hired as a track worker, and in 1936 he became a senior track lineman. Soon, in 1940, he was promoted to foreman, and from 1943 until his retirement he worked as a road foreman. A.V. Zuev, who worked all his life on the railway, recalls: “It was hard to work, there were only women in the team. The rails often burst and cracked. The breakdown often had to be repaired at night. They carried the rails on themselves, fastened with a rope; for long-distance transportation they used diplors (carts for transporting goods), and they also carried sleepers. Now there are no people like Nikolai Ivanovich. I haven't been on vacation. His discipline was ironclad. They respected him: he knew how to ask, he knew how to joke.” In total, Nikolai Ivanovich worked on the railway for 45 years. For his labor successes, he was awarded the medal “For Valorous Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945,” numerous certificates, cash prizes, and thanks: “for the initiative shown in ensuring the safety of train traffic,” “for the implementation of the plan for capital and current repairs.” ", "for a patriotic attitude to work." He had the title "Honorary Railwayman". Nikolai Ivanovich’s relatives keep the order as a family heirloom, as a memory of a dear, close person, of whom they can rightfully be proud.

Track foreman

A year later, another railway worker was awarded this award - track foreman Alexander Demidovich Churkin. Alexander Demidovich's father died early, leaving 10 children, Alexander was the eldest. Therefore, I had to quit school, where I studied for only two weeks, and go to work. He started working at the age of 16 as a repair worker. He walked 15 kilometers there and back to work, helping his mother feed her younger brothers and sisters. In 1928, the railway management, seeing the efforts of the worker, appointed him a senior fitter, and in 1939 - a foreman of a section of the track. In an interview with the correspondent of the newspaper “Prizyv” N. Vasilyeva, Alexander Demidovich says: “They manually cleared the snow from the railway track, carrying heavy sleepers on their shoulders. They sent me to Vologda to study, but I can barely write. In practice I know everything, but it’s difficult to write. It was especially difficult during the war years: there were no rails, we had to sew together scraps 6-7 meters long. There were no men, all the girls and women worked. We worked day and night."

In 1946, the Soviet government awarded the responsible railway worker the medal “For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945”; in 1951, Alexander Demidovich was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, and in 1953 - the Order of Lenin.

Alexander Demidovich worked as a foreman for 24 years, dedicating 43 years of his life to the railway. During all this time, there was no crash or train stop due to his fault. Strict health requirements for railway workers did not allow him to continue working in his favorite place, and Churkin went to work on a collective farm. In the summer I mowed hay, in the winter I took it to the farm, worked both on the dryer and as a watchman on the farm. “At first I couldn’t find a place for myself anywhere,” admitted A.D. Churkin, “everything pulled me to work, to join my team. It was as if every beep was calling me...”

It is probably no coincidence that railway transport workers on the list of those awarded the Order of Lenin are specialists who could solve complex and responsible tasks for its uninterrupted operation, especially in the war and post-war years.

Many trials and grief fell on the shoulders of Polyxenia Andreevna Kalugina. Her husband died during the war. I had to raise the children and manage the household alone. But, despite the difficulties, Polyxenia Andreevna was able to become a leader in agriculture. The sheep farm where she worked was the leading one not only in the area, but also in the region. There was every reason for this: the purebred Romanov sheep raised here were distinguished by high fertility and rich wool shearing. Notable sheep breeders Galina and Antonina Velikanov and Polixenia Andreevna visited the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition more than once. Large breeding rams and ewes aroused the admiration of everyone: sheep farmers, scientists and business executives.

In 1960, sheep breeder Kalugina achieved the highest results. She received three lambs from each ewe and sheared almost three kilograms of wool from each sheep. During her time on the farm, she raised over five thousand high-quality lambs, most of which were sold to other farms in the region.

For high production performance in 1960 she was awarded the Order of Lenin. Polixenia Andreevna did not keep her secrets about caring for sheep a secret. The delegations that often visited the Afoninsky breeding farm adopted all the best that the local sheep breeders had. For example, here for the first time daily winter walks of sheep were used, which proved their worth. A little later, their cold content was introduced.

Polixenia Andreevna looked after sheep for 18 years. There were many difficulties. For example, when lambing began, she rarely looked home, and by the time of grazing there were up to six hundred heads of sheep on the farm. “At that time, the “gray robbers” played a lot of pranks. One day they picked off two dozen little lambs from a flock and drove them to the forest. Polixenia Andreevna quickly saddled her horse and rushed to their rescue. The wolves saved her before her desperate courage and left the prey.”

Lidia Ivanovna Skorodumova worked on the Rossiya collective farm for 42 years, of which 25 years as a milkmaid. She was rewarded for her work with valuable gifts and cash bonuses, and her name was repeatedly included on the district Board of Honor.

On March 22, 1966, the government awarded Lydia Ivanovna the Order of Lenin. She still remembers these touching, solemn moments and, sighing, recalls: “I worked on the Pauninskaya farm, then on Tokarev. After the closure of the Tokarevskaya farm due to the construction of a livestock complex, she became a substitute milkmaid at the complex. Working in previous years was not easy. Sometimes there was nothing to feed the cows. There were always not enough shepherds; I had to graze it myself, since I worked as a senior milkmaid. They felt responsible for the livestock - they spent the night with the cows when they were sick. Thank you for living with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so there was someone to do the housework and look after the children. Each milkmaid had to manually milk 11 cows, remove manure, and feed her herd. Water for drinking was brought to the cows from a spring. In the summer, hybrids, oats, and peas were taken from the field for feeding.

I haven't been on vacation. After the closure of the Tokarevskaya farm, they gave me two weeks of leave, I served a day, and was called to work: there was no one to milk at the complex.”

Livestock breeder

Rimma Dmitrievna Bitkova began working at the age of 12, at first she helped her mother milk cows and dress horses, and after finishing 5 classes at the Punduzh school, she began working independently. She looked after calves for three years, and then until she was 63, until the cows were driven away to a livestock complex, she worked as a milkmaid with no vacations and almost no days off. “I spent from 5 am to 11 pm on the farm,” recalls Rimma Dmitrievna. -I ran home for an hour to rest, eat, and then back to the farm. We carried the feed ourselves. Handed out by hand. It was hard to unseal the stacks and haystacks. In winter, the straw was frozen, so we had to cut it with an ax and pull it out a little at a time. While you are getting food and distributing it, you have to milk again. “I lived next to a farm, so the watchman often woke me up in the middle of the night asking for help with calving.”

In one of the editorials of the newspaper “Prazyv” for 1971 we read: “This has never happened in the area. In July, milkmaid R.D. Bitkova, a milkmaid at the Mishakovskaya farm of the Rossiya collective farm, received 630 kilograms of milk from each cow in her group. She also set a kind of milk yield record from the beginning of the year, producing 2,901 kilograms of milk from each cow. These indicators allowed the 1st class livestock breeder to take 1st place in the socialist competition of livestock breeders in the region.”

“Thanks to such leaders in agricultural production as R.D. Bitkova, in July the collective farm exceeded socialist obligations for milk production by 34 kilograms. The farm was awarded the challenge Red Banner of the district committee of the CPSU, the district committee of trade unions of agricultural and procurement workers.”

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, R.D. Bitkova was awarded the Order of Lenin for the successes achieved in the development of agricultural production and the implementation of the five-year plan for the sale of agricultural and livestock products to the state. This happened in 1971.

For many years, Rimma Bitkova led the socialist competition among livestock breeders, was a participant in VDNKh, and was repeatedly delegated to regional meetings of production leaders. For a long time, the Mishakovskaya farm of the Rossiya collective farm, where Rimma Dmitrievna worked with her friends V.L. Patrashova and A.F. Patrashova, was considered the best in the area. In addition to the Order of Lenin, Rimma Dmitrievna was awarded the Order of Glory, III degree, VDNH medals, numerous Certificates of Honor, and valuable gifts. For many years, the Soviet Union occupied a leading position in agricultural production. Achievements in the field of agriculture are the merit of our livestock breeders: L.I. Skorodumova, P.A. Kalugina, R.D. Bitkova.

Seven Orders of Lenin are the contribution of Punduz residents to the labor history of the country. Behind these orders there is gigantic work, fatigue, tears, satisfaction with the results of one’s work.

Who are they, holders of the Order of Lenin? Ordinary people with different destinies, but they are all united by early growing up, the habit of work, absorbed with mother’s milk; complete dedication to one’s favorite work, reaching the point of self-sacrifice.

History of the order.

The Order of Lenin is the highest Soviet order, occupying the top level in the order hierarchy. Founded before the Great Patriotic War, the Order of Lenin was modified several times. The idea of creating this order was proposed by V.N. Levichev. July 8, 1926. The order was initially proposed to be called “Order of Ilyich”.

The artist I. Dubasov and the famous sculptor I.D. took part in the creation of the order project. Shadr. The basis for creating a relief image of the leader on the sign of the order was a photograph of Lenin, taken in 1921 at the Third Congress of the Comintern. In 1934, work to change the design of the order was carried out by medalist A. Vasyutinsky.

The first award of the Order of Lenin was made by the Decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of May 23, 1930.

History of creation

The history of the order dates back to July 8, 1926, when the head of the Main Directorate of the Red Army V.N. Levichev proposed issuing a new award - the “Order of Ilyich” - to persons who already had four Orders of the Red Banner. This award was to become the highest military decoration. However, since the Civil War in Russia had already ended, the draft of the new order was not accepted. At the same time, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR recognized the need to create the highest award of the Soviet Union, awarded not only for military merit.

At the beginning of 1930, work on the project of a new order, called the “Order of Lenin,” was resumed. Artists from the Goznak factory in Moscow were tasked with creating a drawing of the order, the main image on the sign of which was to be a portrait of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. From many sketches, we chose the work of the artist I. I. Dubasov, who took as the basis for the portrait a photograph of Lenin taken at the Second Congress of the Comintern in Moscow by photographer Viktor Bulla in July-August 1920. It shows Vladimir Ilyich in left profile.

In the spring of 1930, the sketch of the order was transferred to the sculptors Ivan Shadr and Pyotr Tayozhny to create a model. In the same year, the first insignia of the Order of Lenin were made at the Goznak factory. The stamp for the test sample of the “Order of Lenin” badge was engraved by Alexey Pugachev.

The order was established by a resolution of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR on April 6, and its statute was established on May 5, 1930. The statute of the order and its description were amended by the Decree of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR dated September 27, 1934, and the Decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Council dated June 19, 1943 and December 16, 1947.

By the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated March 28, 1980, the statute of the order was approved in its final edition.

Description of the order

The appearance, dimensions and materials used to make the order changed many times, both during the creation process and after its establishment.

It was also intended that when re-awarding the Order of Lenin to one person, the serial number of the award would be placed in a special shield at the bottom of the obverse of the order badge, as had already been done with the Order of the Red Banner. However, the idea of placing shields with numbers on the signs of the Order of Lenin was rejected.

Variations of the Order of Lenin awarded to recipients can be divided into four main types.

Type I

Order of Lenin, first type (1930-1934)

The badge of the Order of Lenin from 1930 was a round medallion portrait with a bas-relief of Lenin in the center and an industrial landscape in the background. Under the bas-relief of Lenin there was an image of a tractor. The medallion was surrounded by an applied gold rim, which was attached by soldering. On the front side, the gold rim had a groove filled with ruby red enamel. Around the medallion, outside the gold rim, there were ears of wheat, on which a gilded sickle and hammer were superimposed in the upper part of the sign, and in the lower part - the inscription “USSR”. The letters of the inscription are made of gold and covered with red enamel. Each letter was a separate element and was attached by soldering.

The badge was made of 925 sterling silver. Dimensions: height - 38 mm, width - 37.5 mm.

The Order of Lenin of the first type was not issued for long, until February 1932. One of the reasons for the cessation of issuing orders of this type was that other USSR awards and even some breastplates were decorated with richer colored enamels than the country's main award.

About 700 orders of the first type were issued.

Type II

Order of Lenin, second type (1934-1936)

Since the Order of Lenin of the first type lacked images of the main proletarian symbols - the red star and the red banner, it was decided to slightly change the appearance of the sign.

The new statute of the Order of Lenin was approved by the Decree of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR of September 27, 1934. The Order of Lenin was now made not of silver, but of 750-carat gold. The images of a tractor and an industrial landscape disappeared from the obverse of the order, and the inscription “USSR” also disappeared. The new type of order featured a red banner with the inscription “LENIN” and a red star. The hammer and sickle from the top part of the order moved to the bottom part. The red banner, red star, hammer and sickle on the second type badge are covered with ruby red enamel. The central round medallion portrait with the image of the leader is silver plated. The ears around the medallion have a natural gold surface.

Dimensions: height - 38.5 mm, width - 38 mm.

III type

Order of Lenin, third type (1936-1943)

The third type of the order was awarded from June 11, 1936 to June 19, 1943.

Compared to the previous type, the main change was that the bas-relief of Lenin was a separate piece and was made of platinum (the weight of the bas-relief ranged from 2.4 to 2.75 g). The bas-relief was attached to the order using three rivets. The surface of the central medallion of orders of the third type was covered with blue-gray enamel. Another change was to increase the standard of gold. Now the order was made of 950-carat gold.

Dimensions: height - 38-39 mm, width - 38 mm.

IV type

Order of Lenin, fourth type (1943-1991)

The fourth type of order was awarded from June 19, 1943 until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The decree of June 19, 1943 established the procedure for wearing star-shaped orders on pins on the right side of the chest, and oval or round orders on the left side of the chest on pentagonal blocks covered with an order ribbon. At the same time, due to the sharp increase in the number of USSR orders and the number of awards, the wearing of stripes with moire ribbons was introduced instead of orders. Thus, after June 19, 1943, the Order of Lenin acquired an eyelet in the upper part of the order sign, into which a ring was threaded, connected to a pentagonal block. It also followed from the established procedure for wearing orders that all previously issued orders were subject to replacement. Instead of the Order of Lenin, type I-III, a new award was issued, preserving the serial number indicated in the order book. First of all, this concerned professional military personnel, the rules of wearing military uniform and whose awards were strictly regulated. A massive replacement of orders of previous types was carried out after the end of the Great Patriotic War.

The Order of Lenin is a sign depicting a medallion portrait of V.I. Lenin made of platinum, placed in a circle framed by a gold wreath of ears of wheat. The dark gray enamel background around the medallion portrait is smooth and bordered by two concentric gold rims, between which ruby red enamel is laid. On the left side of the wreath there is a five-pointed star, below there is a hammer and sickle, and on the right at the top of the wreath there is an unfolded banner of the red banner. The star, hammer and sickle and banner are covered with ruby-red enamel and outlined with gold rims. On the banner is the inscription in gold letters “LENIN”.

Dimensions: height - 43-45 mm (including the eyelet in the upper part), width - 38 mm, diameter of the portrait medallion - 25 mm.

Presentation of awards

First awards

The first award of the Order of Lenin was made by the Decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of May 23, 1930. According to this Resolution, the Order of Lenin No. 1 was awarded to the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper for “active assistance in increasing the pace of socialist construction and in connection with the fifth anniversary of its founding.”

Editorial of the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" for May 24, 1930

The first foreign citizens awarded the order were five specialists who worked in Soviet industry and agriculture:
- German coal mining specialist Johann Georg Liebhard (8 February 1931);
- American agronomist George Gorfield McDowell (July 7, 1931);
- American tractor technology specialists Frank Bruno Honey (May 17, 1932) and Leon Evnis Svazhian (May 23, 1931),
- American auto mechanic Mike Trajkovich Kadarian (March 27, 1934).

On April 20, 1934, two American aircraft mechanics, Clyde Armistead and William Lavery, were awarded the Order of Lenin for their assistance in saving the steamship Chelyuskin.

The first Soviet military unit awarded the Order of Lenin was the 23rd Red Banner Rifle Division on August 5, 1932, in connection with its tenth anniversary and “for Bolshevik examples of active assistance in the construction of the Kharkov Tractor Plant named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze.”
The first to be awarded for military merit was Roman Panchenko, a Red Army soldier of the 1st division of the 11th Khorezm cavalry regiment of the OGPU, who distinguished himself in battles with the Basmachi in the spring of 1933. The order was awarded to him on October 29 of the same year.

The first composer to be awarded the Order of Lenin was Uzeyir Hajibeyov in 1938.
For the first time, the Order of Lenin was posthumously awarded to the crew members of the Osoaviakhim-1 balloon. On January 30, 1934, the balloon reached a record altitude of 22,000 meters, but as a result of extremely difficult weather conditions, the device became icy and fell in Mordovia. All three crew members - commander P. F. Fedoseenko, balloon designer A. B. Vasenko and physicist I. D. Usyskin died in the disaster.
The first holder of two Orders of Lenin was the pilot V.P. Chkalov on July 24, 1936.

Other recipients

The highest degree of distinction of the USSR - the title Hero of the Soviet Union was established on April 16, 1934. Initially, there was no insignia for this title, so everyone who received this honorary title was awarded the Order of Lenin. After the establishment of the Gold Star medal in 1939, it was decided not to break the established tradition and the Order of Lenin automatically continued to be issued to all persons awarded the honorary title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

In addition, the Order of Lenin was awarded to Heroes Socialist Labor, as well as cities and fortresses that have been awarded the corresponding title “Hero City” or “Hero Fortress”.

In the period from June 4, 1944 to September 14, 1957, the Order of Lenin was awarded to officers for long service (25 years of impeccable service). Also, from the beginning of the 1950s, civilians could also receive the Order of Lenin for long-term and fruitful work.

The last person in the history of the USSR to be awarded the Order of Lenin was the director of the Maslyaninsky brick factory in the Novosibirsk region, Yakov Yakovlevich Mul. He was awarded this award “for his great personal contribution to the reconstruction and technical re-equipment of the enterprise and the achievement of high performance indicators” (Decree of the President of the USSR No. UP-3143 of December 21, 1991).

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, no new nominations for the Order of Lenin were made. However, two cases of issuing orders earned before 1991, but not previously received, took place in 1994 and 1996. Considering these two awards, since the establishment of the Order of Lenin, 431,418 awards have been made.
