History

edit

In the Soviet Union, there was an honorary badge of the Central Committee of the Komsomol with the same name. It was awarded to students (mainly senior classes) of secondary schools, as well as students of the first, second, third years of secondary vocational schools for achieving high results in socially useful productive work and active participation in the life of student groups. The award was established in 1986 and was awarded until 1991.[1]

Regulation and criteria

edit

Recommendations for awarding the honorary badge of the Russian Federation “For success in labor” are submitted to the President of the Russia by the heads of federal government bodies or senior officials (heads of the highest executive bodies of state power) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Nominations for awarding a badge of honor must include information about the production, scientific or other achievements of the teams.[2]

A decree of the President of Russia is issued on awarding the badge of honor, as a rule, once a year, on the eve of the Spring and Labor Day. At the same time, no more than five teams are awarded this honorary badge annually.[3] In exceptional cases, by decision of the President ofRussia, it is allowed to award an honorary badge without complying with these requirements. The honorary badge will not be awarded again. Along with the badge of honour, the team is awarded a certificate.
