St. George ribbon (in the Soviet system of awards, with minor modifications - "Guards tape") - an attribute of the set of military awards of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and modern Russia is characterized as a special mark of distinction:
Golden Order of Glory I degree
Golden Order of Glory
I degree
St. George ribbon originally came to the Imperial Military Order of St. George the Martyr and Victorious - the highest military award of the Russian Empire. This award was established by the Empress Catherine II in 1769 to distinguish the officers of merit on the battlefield. I had four degrees difference.
St. George ribbon decorates the shoe "of the Order of Glory" - Military Order of the Soviet Union, which was established by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in 1943.
The Order of Glory has three degrees, of which the highest Grade I - Gold and II and III - silver.
These orders were issued for personal heroism on the battlefield, in the order issued strict sequence - from the lowest to the highest degree.
St. George ribbon decorates the shoe medal "For the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.", Established by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet on May 9, 1945. Medal awarded to military personnel directly involved in the war fronts.
St. George ribbon is part of the "Order of St. George" - the highest military award of the Russian Federation, which honors senior and senior officers for conducting combat operations in the attack of the external enemy.
In addition, the St. George ribbon is present in other military decorations, medals, and the standard of the banners.
Ribbon color - black and orange - means "smoke and fire" and are a sign of personal valor of the soldier he displayed in battle.



Colour tapes - alternating three black and two orange stripes of equal width; have a narrow edge of the orange edging. This tape can be black-and-yellow rather than black and orange, as well as not to have the edge - this is from reality. The fact that fleur perspective orange and yellow - a golden display options.
Tape - "George" or "Order of Glory." Both names ravnoupotrebimy and still have the right to exist. It should be noted that, despite the fact that the tape was similar to, say, the medal "For Victory over Germany" - "ribbon medal" it can not be called. Rule faleristics - if the medal is worn on the ribbon of an Order (or a composite tape of two orders), the tape is referred to by the Order. If for medals has its own feed (for example, "For the Defense of Moscow") - it is referred to as the tape of the medal. Guards called a tape used in the Navy - on his cap, the Guard Flags and pennants and badges (in 1942-43).
Tape is an integral part of the award. In this case, the Administrative Code appears only "tape strip»:
Article 17.11. Illegal possession of state awards
1. The wearing of orders, medals, badge of honors, insignia of the Russian Federation, the RSFSR, the USSR, sashes or ribbons of medals on the rails by a person not eligible, - shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine of hundred to three hundred rubles with confiscation orders, medals, badge of honors, insignia of the Russian Federation, the RSFSR, the USSR, sashes or ribbons of medals on the rails.
In other words, the tape is not on the sash block and \ or on the bar as it is not part of the award. Referring to this, fans of the knit sashes forget about paragraph 2 of the same article:
2. Establishment or making signs with similar name or the resemblance with state awards - punishable by an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of three hundred to five hundred rubles with confiscation of signs; on officials - from five hundred to one thousand rubles with confiscation of signs.
The tape has a resemblance to elements of state awards? Certainly.
I note that in Imperial Russia - and in the world - is not practiced and practiced wearing sashes persons not awarding the Order and / or medals.
From the above it can be concluded that wearing the St George bicolor in conjunction with the corresponding awards honored the people who were directly involved in the fighting.



Today, in 2014, we can already safely judge the results of previous shares "George Ribbon" for 2005-2013.
Firstly, we are seeing a total profanation of the fighting character:
We do not just have to contemplate the St. George's ribbon on the roadside, in the puddles in the muddy mess of snow. Their car breaks with the protesters and St. George bicolor literally turn into garbage, they are lying among butts and dirt.
This fact does not differ from the banal to the desecration of symbols of the history and memory of the fallen. We notice how the Baltic countries carry Soviet monuments, but do not notice how at home the traditional symbols of military valor lose their original meaning and moral value in the eyes of society.
How many times we have seen St. George ribbon on drunk people in public, I do not understand why and what they themselves pinned.











The action "George Ribbon" has taken a global dimension and we, the authors of this site, we take the liberty to speak out against this undertaking on behalf of a large number of people who not only do not want to put on a "hand bag or car antenna," a symbol of honor and valor, washed in the blood of our ancestors, but they are also strong supporters of the closure of the project.
St. George ribbon - is not just a piece of cloth, which is based on the insane idea of ​​the organizers, can be lightly tied to the car antenna.
St. George ribbon - a symbol of the centuries, symbolizing a feat Russian soldier on the battlefield, in the bloody melee meat grinders. This element of awards, for which many waste your own life.
And now, when we see people decorate their pants \ bags \ St. George's ribbon cars, like cheap Christmas garlands, we come into a rage -
We tell you: Remove the tape if you still have a sense of dignity and respect for our own history!
Do not you see that do not have the slightest moral right to hang on your bags and antenna symbols differences that from the XVIII century are part of the award for heroism in the war on the battlefield !?
Be ashamed!
Or before you still do not reach what price was given the right to wear the black and orange "strip»? ..
