History

The Order of Glory (Russian: Орден Славы, romanised: Orden Slavy) was a military decoration of the Soviet Union established by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet on 8 November 1943. It was awarded to soldiers and non-commissioned officers of the Red Army as well as to aviation junior lieutenants, for bravery in the face of the enemy.

While the overwhelming majority of all Order of Glory awards was for combat valour in the Second World War (or the Great Patriotic War as it is known in Russia and some other post-Soviet states), there are documented instances of awards of the order's lowest class - its third class - for post-war Soviet military operations. Numbering among these were Order of Glory Third Class awards authorised for Soviet operations in support of the Korean War from 1950 to 1953 as well as for the Soviet invasion of Hungary in autumn of 1956. A small number of Order of Glory Third Class awards was also made in connection with armed border clashes with the People's Republic of China in 1969.

The order became defunct with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
