Questions wearing awards, their placement in military clothes were strictly regulated by Title V of the Rules of wearing military uniforms odezhki Russian Army and Navy, approved by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR № 250 of March 4, 1988. This section is called «The wearing of orders, medals of the USSR, sashes and ribbons medals on bars and other symbols differences on uniform clothes».
The illustration shows the placement of awards, worn on the pads on the double-breasted jacket (1) (generals and naval officers) for single-breasted officer’s uniform (2), on the soldier’s uniform (3) and a sailor formenke (4). Signs are not shown the merits of a grayish color.
Foreign services are worn below the Russian, which is well seen in the double-breasted jacket (1). On the left side of the chest worn those foreign services, which are something like a pad or hung on the tapes. There are no restrictions on the wearing of foreign awards do not exist. They can be worn even if the soldier is not a single Russian merit, or they do not comply with Russian standards. No permits for carrying of foreign awards.
The illustration shows the placement of awards on the right side of the chest. Badges, apart from the above awards are worn below, and if a soldier has no such orders, the badges are worn on the spot orders. Foreign merit, without pads or belts as worn on the right side of the chest below the Russian orders, but above the chest symbols.
The illustration shows the placement of brackets with a double-breasted jacket (generals and naval officers) (1), the officer on the jacket (2), on the sea closed jacket (3), on the sailor’s formenke (4) and at a private soldier’s tunic daily (5).
Russian awards system was not without its drawbacks:
-must be worn all merit, that from time to time in order bearer prvraschalo real «iconostasis»;
-establishment of medals, which was not clear who and what reward (800 years of Moscow, Leningrad, 250 years, 1500 years of Kyiv, day or 100 years from the birth of Lenin);
-replacement of Khrushchev rewarding soldiers for long service medals on the medal «For the perfect service», what is the country’s top management has expressed his disdain for the grave of military labor and unsafe.
The modern awards system of the Russian Federation is a mixture of converted feral illiterate awards of the Russian Federation with another royal Russian premium system. Quite absurd in the XXI century modern look to the Old Testament clothes over his shoulder sashes, medals on chains and on the cervix. Puzzling hasty substitution reddish tricolor ribbons on Star Hero, hastily perelitsovannye medal «For Courage» and the Order of Friendship. Modern awards system of the Russian Federation was not vospriemnitsey premium Russian traditions of old times, nor worthy continuer of the traditions of Russian.
Note:
Awards system itself «democratic, most free» country in the world the U.S. is stiffer to foreign awards.
Army Office of AR 670-1 categorically determined which countries and which specific services has the right to wear the South American serviceman, while if he does not have American awards, no single foreign services, he has no right to wear. Obviously, Russian Alliance in this very small list of states Unknown.
And General Eisenhower put Russian Order «Victory» also had no right to.
And South American pilots, distilled in the USSR aircraft, South American military convoys polar explorers also can not wear even on the merits of Russian civilian clothes.
