Soon after the death of V.I. Lenin, the highest party, Soviet and government bodies began to receive proposals for the establishment of a new award - the Order of Lenin.

And on April 6, 1930, the USSR Central Executive Committee established the Order of Lenin, the country’s highest government award. On May 5, the statute of the new order was approved. This was the first order Soviet Union, which was awarded for both labor and combat distinctions. The drawing of the first example of the order was made by the artist S. S. Dmitriev. In the center of the order badge, he placed a sculptural portrait of V. I. Lenin by the sculptor I. D. Shadr. Lenin's profile was depicted against the backdrop of factories, factories and a tractor - symbols of industrialization and collectivization of the country.

However, it was decided to continue work on the order, and at the beginning of 1932, artists V.K. Kupriyanov and P.I. Taezhny, medalists V.V. Golenetsky and I.V. Krestovsky began creating a more advanced model. In October 1933, the final composition was completed by the artist S. S. Dmitriev. The last pre-war example of the Order of Lenin was established by the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR on June 11, 1936. The bas-relief of Lenin on the order was made from a photograph of him in 1921, taken at the Third Congress of the Comintern. The Order of Lenin was a medallion portrait of V.I. Lenin. In the center of the order badge is an image of V.I. Lenin in profile, made of platinum against a background of dark brown enamel. Around there is a golden wreath of wheat ears, intertwined at the bottom with a ribbon where a hammer and sickle are placed. On the left side of the wreath - ruby star, at the top is a red banner turned to the right with the inscription “Lenin”. Later it was worn on a red ribbon with two gold stripes along the edges.

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.

The first holders of the Order of Lenin were advanced workers - miner S. Filimonov, mechanic A. Vysokolov, foreman I. Grachkov, shock worker S. Sidorov.

The first holders of the Order of Lenin in the Armed Forces of the USSR were sappers of the North Caucasus Military District - corps engineer K. S. Kalugin, company commander V. A. Kopylov, squad commander V. N. Emelyanov, demolition sappers N. I. Evsikov and V. A. Kiprov. They put out an unprecedented fire that broke out in the Maikop oil fields in May 1930. Hundreds of people fought the fire for almost a year. The fire raged over an area of ​​several square kilometers and was pacified only on April 7, 1931.

For the early implementation of the five-year plan, the Azneft and Grozneft oil associations and a group of oil workers were awarded the Order of Lenin. This award was also awarded to S. M. Kirov, under whose leadership the oil industry of Baku was restored in the early 1920s.

In 1932, the Order of Lenin was awarded to the Stalingrad and Kharkov tractor plants and a number of other enterprises. These were gigantic factories, built in the shortest possible time literally from scratch. The awards were given to their most active builders and workers. And in August of the same year, the 23rd Red Banner Rifle Division was awarded the Order of Lenin “for active assistance in the construction of the Kharkov Tractor Plant.”

Among the first collective farmers to receive the Order of Lenin was K. L. Denisov. The son of a poor peasant, a farm laborer himself from an early age, he organized 18 collective farms, and led one of them for many years.

During the years of the first five-year plan, more than 600 shock workers - engineers, technicians, business executives - received the Order of Lenin. Among them was G.K. Ordzhonikidze, Chairman of the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR, People's Commissar of Heavy Industry. He headed the most important construction projects of the first five-year plans.

In February 1933, the 25th Red Banner Chapaev Rifle Division was awarded this award for outstanding achievements on the economic front.

In the spring of the same year, for the defeat of the Basmachi gang that invaded the territory of the USSR, and the heroism shown in this case, the Red Army soldier of the 11th Khorezm regiment Roman Panchenko was awarded the Order of Lenin. This was the first award of the Order of Lenin for military distinction. On May 17, Red Army soldier R. 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 scabbard of one of the Basmachi and put the enemies to flight.

With the beginning of the Stakhanov movement, the Order of Lenin became an award awarded to the most famous and authoritative leaders of production - innovators in various industries National economy. Among the first recipients are miners Nikita Izotov and Alexey Stakhanov, weavers Maria and Evdokia Vinogradov, machinist Pyotr Krivonos, tractor driver Praskovya Angelina, and beet grower Maria Demchenko. These were people whose names were known throughout the country, whose labor achievements were an example for millions.

On January 30, 1934, a crew of aeronaut-researchers consisting of the commander of the Osoaviakhim-1 stratospheric balloon P.F. Fedoseenko and crew members A.B. Vasenko and I.D. Usyskin rose to a height of 22 kilometers. This was not only a world record, but also a serious step towards mastering outer space. Unfortunately, during its descent the stratospheric balloon crashed and its crew died. Aeronaut heroes were buried in the Kremlin wall and awarded the Order of Lenin posthumously.

The first among scientists to receive the Order of Lenin was I.V. Michurin, a world-famous breeder who developed many new varieties of fruit and berry crops. Thanks to him, the cultivation of grapes, cherries, apricots and other southern heat-loving plants became possible in many northern regions of the country.

The holders of this order were outstanding Soviet scientists - academicians G. M. Krzhizhanovsky, A. N. Bakh and S. A. Chaplygin. G. M. Krzhizhanovsky was in the 20-30s of the last century the chairman of the State Commission for Electrification of Russia (GOELRO) and the State Planning Committee of the USSR, the organizer and leader of science and the national economy. A. N. Bach was not only a major chemist and a recognized organizer of science - the creator of a number of institutes and laboratories, but also a well-known former populist revolutionary and propagandist of liberation ideas. S. A. Chaplygin, a student and colleague of N. E. Zhukovsky, is a scientist who brought science closer to the needs of socialist construction and did an extraordinary amount in the field of hydroaerodynamics. One of the craters of the Moon was subsequently named after S.A. Chaplygin, whose work contributed to the development of Soviet cosmonautics. In subsequent years, G. M. Krzhizhanovsky was awarded four more Orders of Lenin, S. A. Chaplygin received this award twice, and A. N. Bach three times.

Among the first writers awarded the Order of Lenin were A. M. Gorky, A. S. Serafimovich, N. A. Ostrovsky, M. A Sholokhov, A. N. Tolstoy and folk storytellers-akyns Dzhambul Dzhabayev and Suleiman Stalsky. Knights of the Order of Lenin at this time became folk artists USSR, founders of the Moscow Art Museum academic theater them. M. Gorky (Moscow Art Theater) - K. S. Stanislavsky and V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko and actors of this theater I. M. Moskvin and V. I. Kachalov. The first filmmakers to receive such a high award were the creators of the film “Lenin in October” - actor B.V. Shchukin, screenwriter A.Ya. Kapler and director M.I. Romm.

The commanders and soldiers of the Red Army were not left without awards. First of all, the focus was on Soviet volunteers who went to fight in Spain on the side of the Republicans. General Franco, who in 1936 rebelled against the legitimate government of the Spanish Republic - the Popular Front, was supported by the fascist states - Germany and Italy, led by Hitler and Mussolini.

Together with representatives of 53 other countries, Soviet internationalist volunteers courageously fought against international fascism. Many of them were awarded high awards of the USSR, including the Order of Lenin.

On October 25, 1938, 95 people were awarded the Order of Lenin for courage and steadfastness in battles with Japanese militarists who violated the Soviet border at Lake Khasan. One of the two Soviet divisions, the 40th Rifle Division, which particularly distinguished itself in these battles, was also awarded this order.

By June 1941, 39 military groups received the Order of Lenin, including the N. E. Zhukovsky Air Force Academy, the M. V. Frunze Military Academy, and the V. I. Lenin Military-Political Academy.

In total, during the pre-war period, more than 6,500 awards of the Order of Lenin were made.

The Great Patriotic War became a test of the fortitude, courage and dedication of all Soviet people. During the war years, the Order of Lenin was awarded more than 41 thousand times, and many were awarded it several times.

The Order of Lenin was awarded to 207 units, formations and institutions of the Red Army and Navy, dozens of plants and factories, transport and communications enterprises, government and public organizations.

The first regiments of the Red Army to receive the Order of Lenin during the war were the 17th motorized rifle regiment of the 17th tank division and the 355th rifle regiment of the 100th rifle division. They were awarded on August 31, 1941 for exceptional steadfastness in defense against the advancing Nazis and mass heroism of the Red Army soldiers, commanders and political workers.

The 1st Guards Chertkovskaya Tank Brigade marched from Moscow to Berlin, beginning its combat journey near Volokolamsk - on the same lines where the infantrymen of General I.V. Panfilov and the cavalry of General L.M. Dovator fought. Then the brigade took part in the battles for Oryol and fought on the Kursk Bulge. For distinction in battles during the capture of the village

In 1943, this brigade received its first Order of Lenin for battles in Ukraine, for the capture of the city of Kolomyia - the Order of Bohdan Khmelnitsky, for battles in the foothills of the Carpathians in 1944 - the Order of the Red Banner, for the liberation of the cities of Yaroslav and Przemysl - the Order of Suvorov, in 1945 for the breakthrough in Brandenburg - the second Order of Lenin and for the breakthrough in Pomerania - the Order of Kutuzov.

Among the holders of the Order of Lenin there were also young heroes. One of them was Vasya Korobko from the partisan unit of Hero of the Soviet Union A.F. Fedorov, who operated in Ukraine. In the partisan detachment, Vasya was a demolitionist. He derailed 9 fascist echelons, while destroying 400 fascists. For his exploits, he was awarded the Order of Lenin, the Red Banner, the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, and two medals “Partisan of the Patriotic War,” 1st degree. Vasya died in the spring of 1944 in a bridge explosion.

IN post-war years Almost 5.5 thousand people were awarded the Order of Lenin for the development of virgin and fallow lands. And one of the most famous virgin land combine operators, P.V. Nektov, a front-line soldier who lost both legs during the war, was awarded four Orders of Lenin for his labor exploits in the virgin lands.

Outstanding Soviet athletes and coaches were also awarded the Order of Lenin. Among them are three-time world chess champion Mikhail Botvinnik, famous football players Lev Yashin, Igor Netto, Nikolai Starostin, three-time Olympic champion hockey player Vladislav Tretyak, weightlifters Yuri Vlasov and Vasily Alekseev, figure skater Irina Rodnina.

The Order of Lenin had no degrees, and, it would seem, you can become a holder of it (like any other) only once. But they were awarded more than once. So, Marshal of the Soviet Union D.F. Ustinov received it 11 times.

Among industry workers greatest number Orders of Lenin belong to the Minister of Medium Engineering E.P. Slavsky and the Minister of Aviation Industry P.V. Dementyev, who were awarded nine such awards. The same number of Orders of Lenin was received by the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Academician A.P. Alexandrov.

The Order of Lenin was awarded to the Union of Writers, Architects, Composers, Artists, Cinematographers, the best newspapers and magazines of our country, the Kirov Plant in Leningrad and Krasnoye Sormovo in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod), the Likhachev Automobile Plant in Moscow, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works and other industrial enterprises, universities and institutes: Moscow State University them.

Lenin Library (now the Russian Library) were awarded the Order of Lenin. state library), Historical Museum and the Central Park of Culture and Leisure named after M. Gorky.

In total, since the establishment of this order, more than 400 thousand awards have been made.

The Order of Lenin is attached to the banners of 12 hero cities, the heroic fortress of Brest, and to the banners of more than 100 territories, regions and other cities. It was awarded to more than 200 military units and formations, more than 200 state farms, collective farms and agricultural research institutes and laboratories, more than 400 industrial, construction, transport enterprises and organizations.

During the Soviet Union, many different awards were created. Traditionally, those with a star or Lenin were considered the most valuable. The “Order of Lenin” itself was the most valuable award of the USSR.

The Presidium of the USSR Central Executive Committee established this award April 6, 1930. The presentation of the “Order of Lenin” was intended for those persons who were awarded the Order of the Red Banner four times. However, subsequently it was decided to award the order not only for military merit.

At the beginning of 1930, Goznak artists received the task of creating the highest award of the USSR, which would depict Lenin. More than 10 sketches were created, but the work of the artist Dubasov was chosen.

According to the statute of the Order of Lenin, it was awarded for outstanding achievements in the revolutionary movement, labor activity, defense of the homeland, development of friendship between peoples, strengthening of peace and other services to the USSR. It is interesting that the order was awarded not only to citizens of the country, but also to factories, towns, cities and other settlements and industrial units.

Types of Orders of Lenin

Throughout the history of the creation of the Order of Lenin, there was 4 types of rewards.

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. “USSR” is written in gold on the bottom, and a hammer and sickle in the form of state symbols is stamped on top. 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.

The production of orders of the first type was stopped due to the fact that more gold was used for some other awards than for 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.

Third type of the Order of Lenin outwardly it completely repeats the previously adopted one, but its height could vary from 38 mm to 39 mm. Gold began to be used in 950 standard.

The bas-relief of Lenin was a separate piece, which was made of platinum. Previously, the entire order was a solid silver product. The weight of the award was 2.4 – 2.75 grams. This award was issued from June 11, 1936 to June 19, 1943. Fastening was carried out using 3 rivets.

The fourth type of the Order of Lenin was significantly changed. It was awarded on June 19, 1943. It is worth noting that all orders of previous types were replaced by type IV orders.

Externally, the award completely copies the third type, but the way it is attached to the chest has changed. And the order had a special small eyelet, which was connected to a ring on moiré ribbons. Thus, the order turned into a medal, and wearing it on the chest became much easier.

When creating the last type of Order of Lenin, they used the following standards:

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 Civil War By this time it had already ended, the draft of the 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 The 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.
