HISTORY OF THE GEORGIEV RIBBON.

The St. George ribbon originally appeared with the Imperial Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George - the highest military award Russian Empire. Saint George (APPENDIX 1) is a great martyr. He was tortured and killed by the enemies of Christianity - pagans. For courage and for the spiritual victory over the tormentors who could not force him to renounce Christianity, as well as for miraculous help to people in danger, St. George is also called the Victorious. On icons, Saint George is depicted sitting on a white horse and striking a serpent with a spear. This image is based on tradition and refers to the posthumous miracles of the Holy Great Martyr George. The Order of St. George was established by Empress Catherine II (APPENDIX 2) on November 26 (December 7), 1769 to distinguish officers for merit on the battlefield, a year after the start of the Russian-Turkish war of 1768-1774. For the first time in Russia, the order was divided into 4 degrees, and was intended to be awarded purely for distinction in military exploits. Another possibility was also envisaged: since “not always such cases are opened for every faithful son of the fatherland, where his jealousy and courage can shine”, those “who have been in the field service for 25 years from the chief officer, and in the sea - 18 campaigns served as officers. In Russia, the Holy Great Martyr George was greatly loved and revered. Therefore, they gave his name to the most honorary military order.

ORDER OF SAINT GEORGE.

This order was awarded only to officers and generals for personal military merit. A total of 25 people were awarded. The first knight after Catherine II was in 1770 Count P. A. Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky "for the victory over the enemy on July 21, 1770 near Cahul." The last cavalier was in 1877 Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich the Elder "for the capture of November 28, 1877, the strongholds of Plevna and the capture of the army of Osman Pasha." The Order of St. George was divided into four classes.

The first degree of the order had three signs: a cross star and a ribbon consisting of three black and two orange stripes, which was worn over the right shoulder under the uniform.

The second degree of the order also had a star and a large cross, which was worn around the neck on a narrower ribbon.

The third degree is a small cross on the neck, the fourth is a small cross in the buttonhole.

The colors of the ribbon - black and orange - mean "smoke and fire" and are a sign of the soldier's personal prowess on the battlefield. The black and orange colors of the St. George Ribbon have become a symbol of military prowess and glory in Russia.

The insignia of the Military Order is an award badge for the Order of St. George for the lower ranks from 1807 to 1917 for outstanding bravery shown in battle against the enemy. The insignia of the Military Order was the highest award for soldiers and non-commissioned officers. Since 1913, the statute enshrined official name- George Cross. Until 1913, in addition to the official, he also had other, unofficial, names: St. George's Cross of the 5th degree, soldier's St. George's Cross, soldier's George ("Egoriy"), etc. (APPENDIX 3),

For a cross, a soldier or non-commissioned officer received a salary one third more than usual. For each additional sign, the salary was increased by a third, until the salary was doubled. The surplus salary was maintained for life after retirement; widows could receive it for another year after the death of the gentleman.

The awarding of soldier George also gave the following benefits to those who distinguished themselves: the prohibition of the use of corporal punishment to persons with the insignia of the order; when transferring cavaliers awarded the St. George Cross of non-commissioned officer rank from army regiments to the guards, the preservation of their former rank, although the guards non-commissioned officer was considered two ranks higher than the army.

If the gentleman received a distinction in the militia, then he could no longer be given to military service(“shave into soldiers”) without his consent. However, the statute did not rule out the forcible transfer of gentlemen to soldiers if they were recognized by the landowners as persons "whose behavior would violate the general peace and tranquility."

It should be noted that often a certain number of crosses were allocated to a unit that distinguished itself in battle, and then they were awarded to the most distinguished soldiers, moreover, taking into account the opinion of their comrades. This order was legalized and was called the "sentence of the company." The crosses received by the "company's verdict" were valued among the soldiers more than those received on the recommendation of the commander.

In 1913, the new statute of the Order of St. George fixed the division of the insignia into 4 degrees, introduced in 1856. This ribbon was not only on orders and medals of the Russian Empire, but also on premium weapons. (APPENDIX 4),

FROM THE CROSS OF GEORGE TO THE ORDER OF GLORY.

The St. George ribbon repeats the ribbon on the blocks of the Order of Glory I, II and III degrees (APPENDIX 5), and the medal "For the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945." (APPENDIX 6), . His status, as well as the yellow and black colors of the ribbon, were reminiscent of the St. George Cross. The Order of Glory was established on November 8, 1943 and was awarded to privates and sergeants of the Red Army, and in aviation - to persons with the rank of junior lieutenant. The medal "For the Victory over Germany" was established on May 9, 1945, which was awarded to all military personnel and civilians who served during the Great Patriotic War in the ranks of the active Red Army. Then the St. George ribbon, confirming the traditional colors of Russian military prowess, adorned many soldier and modern Russian award medals and badges.

On April 24, 1944, a DRAFT DECISION of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was adopted, which stated that "In order to create continuity in the fighting traditions of Russian soldiers and pay due respect to the heroes who smashed the German imperialists in the war of 1914-1917, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decides:

2. Allow b. St. George Cavaliers wearing blocks with a sash of established colors on their chests.

3. Persons subject to the action of this resolution are issued an order book of the Order of Glory marked “b. St. George Cavalier”, which is issued by the headquarters of military districts or fronts on the basis of the submission of relevant documents (original orders or service records of that time) to them.

The full cavaliers of the St. George Cross and who bore the title of Hero of the Soviet Union were:

Explanatory note.

Gray-haired antiquity looks through eternity

On our souls in Russian years,

We are knitted by a ribbon where St. George

Conveyed victory as salvation.

We found in battles front-line troubles,

Do not sully the valiant honor,

And on the chest a St. George ribbon -

Reminder to people who we are.

Ruslan Ermakov

Historically, love for the motherland, patriotism at all times in Russian state were a feature of the national character. But due to recent changes, the loss of traditional Russian patriotic consciousness by our society has become more and more noticeable.There are attacks on recognized heroes. The very possibility of a feat, which during the war was repeated by unknown soldiers hundreds and thousands of times, is denied.

Veterans are dying. They have less and less strength to go to kindergartens and schools, to tell us and our children the truth about how they fought. I saw a lot of them when I was in school.

HISTORY OF THE ORIGIN OF THE GEORGIEV RIBBON

A task

1. Find out the history of the origin of the St. George Ribbon.
2. Explore why the "George Ribbon" is two-colored.

The story of the St. George ribbon came to us from the distant past.

The ribbon got its name from the Order of St. George, who is also called the Victorious.

There is a legend in which they say that a snake lived in the lake, which devoured people. Only one girl remained. She was taken to the shore of the lake. When the serpent began to approach her, George suddenly appeared on a white horse, who struck the serpent with a spear and saved the girl. So he stopped the destruction of people.

Icon "George the Victorious"

In 1769, a solemn ceremony took place in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. Catherine II signed the status of the Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious. The Divine Liturgy was served in the palace church, the signs of the order - the cross, the star and the ribbon - were consecrated.

The badge of the order was an equal-ended cross with expanding ends, covered with white enamel. In the central medallion on the front side was placed the image of St. George on a white horse, on the reverse - the monogram "SG", that is, "St. George". The two-color ribbon - black and yellow-orange - means "smoke and flame". It is also believed that these colors symbolize death and resurrection. St. George went through death three times and was resurrected twice.

The star was four-pointed, gold, with a monogram and the motto in the center - "For service and courage."

Order of St. George the Victorious Set of the order

REWARD SET AND PROCEDURE FOR AWARDING THE ORDER

The St. George ribbon was created as part of an award set consisting of the Order of St. George, the St. George Cross and a ribbon. The Order of St. George was divided into four classes. The first degree of the order had three signs: a cross, a star and a ribbon that was worn over the right shoulder under the uniform. The second degree of the order also had a star and a large cross, which was worn around the neck on a narrower ribbon. The third degree is a small cross on the neck, the fourth is a small cross in the buttonhole.

4th degree 3rd degree 2nd degree 1st degree

Award sets of 4 degrees and wearing rules

The first time the lowest, 4th degree was issued, the next time the higher 3rd, then the 2nd and, finally, the one who accomplished the fourth outstanding feat could be presented for awarding the Order of St. George 1st degree.

Only 4 people became full cavaliers of the Order of St. George (awarded with all 4 degrees, the so-called “full bow”), incl. M.I. Kutuzov.

ORDER OF PATRIOTIC WAR

But these are events of bygone years. What does the Order of St. George have to do with the most terrible war of the 20th century? But what. In the midst of the battle with the Nazis in 1942, the Order of the Patriotic War was established. It also has a St. George ribbon - as a symbol of connection with the Russian military tradition. The Order of the Patriotic War was awarded to persons who fought for the Soviet Motherland, as well as military personnel for bravery, steadfastness and courage.

Warriors of Alexander Nevsky, combatants of Dmitry Donskoy, soldiers of Suvorov and millions Soviet soldiers went to fight for the Motherland, for the honor and freedom of their land. And they WON!

ACTION "George Ribbon"

A task

1. Find out what is the meaning of a high-profile action in which millions of people participate.

In Russia, on the eve of the Great Victory Day, every year, people appear on the streets who distribute among the population small pieces of ribbons, the symbol of Victory - the St. George ribbon. Ribbons are happy to disassemble and attach on the chest, both adults and children.

In 2005, the action “We remember! We are proud!”, its main symbol was the St. George ribbon. Appearing in the year of the sixtieth anniversary of the Victory, it managed to become a tradition in 10 years. In 2005, more than 800 thousand ribbons were distributed, and already in 2007 the campaign was held in all countries of the world and more than 10 million ribbons were distributed.

The purpose of the St. George Ribbon action is to create a symbol of the holiday, an expression of our respect for veterans, a tribute to the memory of those who fell on the battlefield, and gratitude to the people who gave everything for the front.

The action begins with the distribution by volunteers among the population of small sections of ribbons, identical in shape and color to the St. George ribbon.

POEMS AND SONGS ABOUT GEORGE'S RIBBON

Words by Andrey Elisov, music and performance - Ruslan Ermakov

1. Gray antiquity looks through eternity
On our souls in Russian years.
We will be connected by a ribbon, where St. George
Victory, as salvation conveyed.

We went through battles, we are front-line troubles
Do not sully the valiant honor.
And on the chest a St. George ribbon
Reminding people who we are.

chorus.
St. George Ribbon,
victory over the enemy.
Keep in my heart
as our connection of centuries.
St. George Ribbon-
you are a thread in all years.
And next to a moment and eternity
and feat forever.

2. We are Russians, we are connected by love!
We are the winners of various enemy hordes.
We have faith and we believe in God.
We have not forgotten the 45th year.

On this tape both Berlin and Kyiv,
Blockade fires and Khatyn dust.
The thread of generations across Russia.
The most fierce enemy trembles before her.

chorus.
3. It’s not easy for us to have a ribbon as a memory
Orange sun over the earth.
St. George in it connects
The struggle of the dawn over the blackest mist.

And if you carry a streak of light
In your chest, like a homeland fire,
Warm your planet with the warmth of love,
Open your heart and hand for the sky.
chorus.

George Ribbon

A. Kalmykova

I tied it to the antenna,

She shone with a bright light,

Fire and ashes are inseparable -

In the traffic of cars suddenly became a flag

I am the granddaughter of a veteran, and victory

I also consider it my holiday

I am proud of the victory, I rejoice in the victory,

Came to us through soot, death and smoke.

And with this May holiday fireworks

My grandfather seems to be resurrected...

And a small flag of a big Victory

I will knit on a yellow cross on Sunday.

GEORGE RIBBON.
Petr Davydov

When to the wounded Earth,
The victorious spring has come!
A wave of folk fun
She penetrated into every house!
Victory Parade… Flags… Faces…
And songs are a festive motive.
Above the square, as if - a bird
Colored ribbon flies...

From the past, from eternity
She's flying now...
George Ribbon,
Uniting us

The chase is over...
Covered with a spring cloud
Clutching the weapon in the palm of your hand,
Soldier of Victory sleeps sweetly.
From May clouds dressmaker
Made a soft bed
And it became unusually quiet ...
And you could just sleep.
olive twig
Shows a peaceful way...
George Ribbon:
"I remember! IM proud of!"

The well of memory is bottomless.
And the souls of the fallen - somewhere out there ...
Let's remember by name
Who gave us victory!
Victory! - tears and fun!
Those days are still burning in dreams
When to the wounded earth
The victorious spring has come!

And a little girl
Dress too - let!
George Ribbon:
"I remember! IM proud of!"

We are all so different
Everyone's world is different.
But now we're all connected
That ribbon alone!

From past days - to eternity -
And joy in it and sadness ...
George Ribbon:
"I remember! IM proud of!"

ST. GEORGE RIBBON
Natalie Samoniy

St. George's ribbon - and gunpowder, and fire,
And the bitterness of tears, and the joy of Victory Day.
Not just a proud symbol, but a silk epaulette,
For the good peace that our grandfathers got us.

St. George's Ribbon - like a surviving flower,
That I saw evil ruined childhood,
Burnt villages, deadly smog of ruins...
Not just a symbol - a legacy of memory.

St. George ribbon - two-color simple stripes -
On the front roads blood and flames,
And the echelons of lives that have gone downhill ...
And a banner slashed with evil.

St. George's ribbon - and gunpowder, and fire -
And the sorrow of the soul, and the sun of a new life.
The pattern of two-color lines - the history of the palm,
Fate's ornament... Memorable word.

* * *
May day is extraordinarily beautiful

The country is celebrating Victory Day!

Maybe it's not random at all.

That the war ended in the spring?

It is no coincidence that this day is wonderful,

In memory of the heroes of old,

Blossomed now everywhere

St. George ribbon petals…

Among anniversaries, which celebrate the people of our multinational Motherland, special place occupies Victory Day. On this day - May 9, 1945 - the long-awaited news of the victorious end of the most cruel and bloody war in the history of mankind came to every house in our vast country.

The Great Patriotic War was a truly national struggle. In those formidable years, the people of the most different nationalities and . It was this unity that became the main factor in the victory in the fight against fascism.

The accomplishments of our peoples in the Great Patriotic War is one of the brightest and most impressive pages not only of the national, but also world history. The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against German fascism continued for 1418 days and nights. This is one of the largest and bloodiest wars in the history of mankind, in which Soviet people lost more than 27 million of his sons and daughters. The historic victory over fascist Germany became possible thanks to the efforts and heroism of all the peoples of our country.

Almost every family has a connection with this war. The Great Patriotic War is a trace in the fate of my family, which will not be erased by time.

Every year I go to the parade with my parents, dedicated to the day Victory. On the eve of Victory Day, people attach black and orange ribbons to their clothes and personal vehicles, which have become a symbol of memory of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, I wondered what the St. George ribbon means and why everyone wears it before the holiday.

The theme of my work is "St. George's Ribbon"

Objective:
1. Understanding what a St. George ribbon is,
2. Why is the St. George ribbon put on every year on the Victory Day holiday

to study the history of the origin of the St. George ribbon;

learn about the action "George's Ribbon";

tell classmates about the St. George ribbon;

Chapter 1

The St. George ribbon originally appeared with the Imperial Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George - the highest military award of the Russian Empire. This order was established by Empress Catherine II in 1769 to distinguish officers for merit on the battlefield.

Saint George is a great martyr. He was tortured and killed by the enemies of Christianity - pagans. For courage and for the spiritual victory over the tormentors who could not force him to renounce Christianity, as well as for miraculous help to people in danger, St. George is also called the Victorious.

On icons, Saint George is depicted sitting on a white horse and striking a serpent with a spear. This image is based on tradition and refers to the posthumous miracles of the Holy Great Martyr George.

In Russia, the Holy Great Martyr George was greatly loved and revered. Therefore, they gave his name to the most honorary military order. This order was awarded only to officers and generals for personal military merit.

The order was awarded to those who "personally leading the army, will defeat the enemy, consisting in significant forces, complete victory, the consequence of which will be its complete destruction", "personally leading the army, he will take the fortress."

For the capture of the enemy banner, the capture of the commander-in-chief of the enemy army and other outstanding feats.

The order of awarding: the first time the lowest, 4th degree was issued, the next time the higher 3rd, then the 2nd and, finally, the one who accomplished the fourth outstanding feat could be presented for awarding the Order of St. George 1st degree.

The Order of St. George was divided into four classes.

The first degree of the order had three signs: a cross star and a ribbon consisting of three black and two orange stripes, which was worn over the right shoulder under the uniform.

The second degree of the order also had a star and a large cross, which was worn around the neck on a narrower ribbon.

The third degree is a small cross on the neck, the fourth is a small cross in the buttonhole.

In 2007, for the first time in the history of modern Russia, the Day of Heroes of the Fatherland is celebrated.
The date December 9 was not chosen by chance: on this day (according to the old style) in 1769, Empress Catherine II established the Order of St. George the Victorious. This order was awarded to warriors who showed valor, courage and courage in battle.

St. George Ribbon - a two-color ribbon for the Order of St. George, the St. George Cross, the St. George Medal. Also, St. George ribbons on a peakless cap were worn by sailors of the guards crew of the ship, awarded the St. George flag. Over time, St. George's buttonholes, standards, pipes, etc. appeared.

During the Great Patriotic War, continuing the military traditions of the Russian army, in 1943 the Order of Glory of three degrees was established. His statute, as well as the yellow and black colors of the ribbon, were reminiscent of the St. George Cross. Then the St. George ribbon, confirming the traditional colors of Russian military prowess, adorned many soldier and modern Russian award medals and badges.

In 1992, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of Russia "On State Awards of the Russian Federation", a decision was made to restore the Russian Order of St. George and the insignia "St. George's Cross".

Chapter 2

On the eve of Victory Day, people attach black and orange ribbons to their clothes and personal vehicles, which have become a symbol of memory of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a sign of eternal gratitude that liberated the world from fascism.

Thousands of volunteers from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad have started handing out St. George ribbons today. For everyone, they have already become one of the main symbols of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

For the first time in the spring of 2005, the St. George Ribbon appeared on the streets of Russian cities. The action, conceived and carried out by RIA Novosti and the Student Community in the year of the 60th anniversary of the Victory, united people during the days of celebration different ages and social groups. The action was born spontaneously, grew out of the Our Victory Internet project, which published “folk” stories about how this or that family was affected by the Great Patriotic War, about front-line soldiers, partisans, home front workers, about front-line novels and unknown people. exploits ... The main goal of the action, as well as the site "Our Victory", was the desire at all costs not to let the new generations forget who and at what cost won the most terrible war of the last century, whose heirs we remain, what and who should be proud of whom to remember.

Wearing the St. George ribbon in conjunction with the corresponding awards are awarded to people
who were directly involved in the fighting.

If the war touched your family.

If you know at what cost we won the Victory.

If you are proud of your history, your country, your family.

If you remember.

"George's Ribbon" as a symbol of your memory - attach it to the lapel of your clothes.

Conclusion

While studying this topic, I came to understand what the St. George ribbon is, and I understood why the St. George ribbon is put on every year on the Victory Day holiday.

To do this, I studied the history of the origin of the St. George ribbon,

learned about the St. George Ribbon campaign.

"Georgievsky Ribbon" - one of the most interesting projects to create symbols in our country. Appearing in the year of the sixtieth anniversary of the Victory (2005), he managed to become a tradition - an unprecedented event in the newest. The action is recognized as the largest patriotic action in Russia. Well, this is a good result. The St. George Ribbon has a glorious history and deserves to have its colors symbolize the Great Victory.

Today, many people take part in the action, with pleasure attaching a ribbon to bags and clothes.

This, still relatively young, rather new symbolism awakens in people, first of all, patriotic feelings, filling them with a sense of pride in their victorious country. In addition to all of the above, bright ribbons evoke cheerful, festive emotions, give a feeling of inviolability and unity.

A vivid example of an Internet action that caused a public outcry is the St. George's Ribbon project - this is a RIA Novosti project that appeared in 2005 and was implemented jointly with the ROOSPM "Student Community".

The purpose of the action is to create a positive emotional and informational wave aimed at an audience from 15 to 35 years old.

The purpose of the action is to strengthen patriotic sentiments among Russian youth, focusing on the basic values ​​of the Russian civil society, the formation of a sense of pride and belonging to greatest role countries in the victory over fascism. The action is not only a way to "reach out" to young people, it allows you to unite millions of residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities in Russia and the CIS countries and abroad.

The symbol of the action is the St. George Ribbon, the color scheme of which is well known to everyone and which was used to create one of the main awards of the Second World War - the Order of Glory.

It is necessary to say a few words about the organizers of this action.

Social organization social support youth "Student Community" has been operating in Russia since 1998. The central idea of ​​the "Student Community" is to help ensure that the life of a particular young man became interesting for himself and useful for society and the state. Therefore, they created a flexible system for providing work for students in their free time, associations of young people according to their interests, and a single information field for students. They are constantly searching for directions and mechanisms for applying the common efforts of young and promising citizens of Russia for the benefit of the present and future of our country.

Russian agency international information RIA Novosti is one of the most authoritative and professional sources of up-to-date information in Russia and abroad. The agency has a wide correspondent network on the territory of the Russian Federation, the CIS and more than 40 countries of the world. Every day, on the Internet and through electronic communication channels, RIA Novosti distributes socio-political, economic, scientific, financial information in Russian, the main European and Arabic languages.

In 2005, RIA Novosti created new version its site, which has become a new format for the Internet representation of the news agency. It combined in its structure not only online news feeds, but also blocks of comments, analytics, interviews and interactive platforms. The site itself has become not so much a news delivery tool as an Internet publication. This made adjustments to the principle of heading and submission of materials, the presentation of authors, the plotting of the main news of the day and the announcement of events. It also created a platform for Internet projects, including EURO 2004, the 2004 Olympics, the project-action “Our Victory. Day after day”, Information site of the Olympic Games in Turin and other thematic projects.

The Internet project "Our Victory" publishes "folk" stories about how this or that family was affected by the Great Patriotic War, about front-line soldiers, partisans, home front workers, about front-line novels and unknown exploits. The main goal of the action was the desire at all costs not to let the new generations forget who and at what cost won the most terrible war of the last century, whose heirs we remain, what and whom we should be proud of, who to remember.

Every day, the campaign website publishes reports from the Sovinformburo, new stories and photographs sent by readers. This project is an attempt to go through the last WWII again.

Project-action “Our Victory. Day after day” became the winner in the nomination “Special media project” in the Second All-Russian contest of websites “Defenders of the Fatherland”.

The site’s satellite is the pobeda_ru community [in the international system of interactive communication www.livejournal.com], which was one of the laureates international competition"The BOBs-Best Of The Blogs" ("Deutsche Welle") in the category "Best Topic". There is also a German project partner 60 Jahre Kriegsende.

The website of the German partner is also dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Victory. It was created with the support German Internet newspaper Aktual.ru, it tells about the news in Russia, as well as about the Russian community in Germany, radio "Echo of Moscow" and RIA Novosti. This project is also aimed at memories of the war, asks to send family stories related to the war, imprisonment in camps, stories of Russian families affected by fascism.

Initially, the RIA Novosti action "St. George's Ribbon" was timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Victory. It was planned as a one-time event. In 2005, the agency’s journalists folded and ordered the first ribbons with their own money, and volunteers from the Moscow Student Community took to the streets of the capital, to highways, into the subway passages and began to distribute them to passers-by. Only 500,000 St. George ribbons were distributed in Moscow. But unexpectedly for the organizers themselves, starting from May 7, all the announcers of the central TV channels began to go on the air with two-color ribbons on their chests. Ribbons suddenly connected people of different generations, political views and social strata. They could be seen on the backpack of a student or schoolboy, the lapel of a grandmother’s worn coat, on the antenna of a cool jeep and a modest Lada, on a fashionable girl’s handbag and on a successful businessman’s Gucci suit. As editor-in-chief of RIA Novosti Svetlana Mironyuk said, the action was a success and it is growing because it coincided with people's expectations.

The action had many slogans: “Grandfather’s victory is my Victory”, “Tie. If you remember!”, “I remember! I am proud!”, “We are the heirs of the Great Victory!” and others. The ribbon has become an attribute of solemn events, traditional meetings with veterans in the schools of the capital, festive festivities in many cities of the Russian Federation. The action was "blessed" by veterans of the Great Patriotic War, but its participants were, first of all, young people.

After the action was widely spread and actively supported by the population, the St. George Ribbon code was formed:

1. The St. George Ribbon campaign is non-commercial and non-political.

2. The purpose of the action is to create a symbol of the holiday - Victory Day.

3. This symbol is an expression of our respect for the veterans, a tribute to the memory of those who fell on the battlefield, gratitude to the people who gave everything for the front. To all those thanks to whom we won in 1945.

The symbol of the action "St. George's Ribbon" was not chosen by chance. The St. George ribbon is an attribute of many military awards of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and modern Russia, characterized as a special distinction. The black and orange colors of the St. George Ribbon mean "smoke and flame" and have become a symbol of military prowess and glory in Russia.

The St. George ribbon originally appeared with the Imperial Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George - the highest military award of the Russian Empire. This order was established by Empress Catherine II in 1769 to distinguish officers for merit on the battlefield. He had four degrees of distinction.

During the Great Patriotic War, continuing the military traditions of the Russian army, on November 8, 1943, the Order of Glory of three degrees was established, of which the highest I degree is gold, and II and III are silver.
These orders were issued for a personal feat on the battlefield, were issued in strict sequence - from the lowest degree to the highest.

The St. George Ribbon adorns the pads of the medal "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945", established by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of May 9, 1945. The medal was awarded to military personnel who were directly involved in the war fronts.

The St. George Ribbon is part of the "Order of St. George" - the highest military award of the Russian Federation, which is awarded to senior and senior officers for conducting combat operations during an attack by an external enemy.

In addition, the St. George ribbon is also present on other military orders, medals, standards and banners.

For the fifth year the St. George's Ribbon action has been held with the support of the Public Relations Committee of the city of Moscow. Many companies, mass media and Internet resources joined the campaign in different years. Attachments No. 1 and No. 2 contain a partnership offer and options for banners placed on the Internet on various sites that are already participating in the promotion. By taking part in the campaign, companies position themselves as socially responsible. Such an image in modern market relations and social conditions is not unimportant.

In 2006, at the initiative of the Internet publication From-UA and the Slavic World Center, the St. George Ribbon campaign was first held in Ukraine.

In 2007, the symbol of Victory Day, as the St. George ribbon is now called, was delivered to the International space station. At the same time, the action was blessed by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II. In the same year, the action was first held in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, organized by the Internet portal Solovnik.org.

In 2008, users of some Internet sites were asked to use the St. George ribbon as an avatar (picture or photo in the user's profile) or as a picture in the signature. For example, in social network"VKontakte" was specially designed for the Victory Day, where the top line with the title of the network was decorated with St. George's ribbon.

In the same year, in a number of cities, the organizers of the action went beyond the usual format. During the Action, not only ribbons were distributed, but also special educational and charitable events were held. On the eve of the start of the St. George's Ribbon-2008 action, a special screening of the film "We are from the Future" was held in Moscow for veterans of the Great Patriotic War and students of Moscow universities. The St. George Ribbon military film festival was held for the first time, it took place in Moscow.

In February 2009, a photo exhibition was held, dedicated to history the most massive patriotic popular action in the history of modern Russia.

The idea to create a symbol of the holiday, memory and respect for veterans, thus, turned out to be high degree demanded by society. Largely unexpected for the organizers themselves, the action, originally planned only for the capital region, has significantly expanded its geography thanks to enthusiasts from other Russian cities.

During the four years of the campaign, more than 45 million ribbons have been distributed worldwide. In 2008 almost all regions of Russia took part in the action. In Karachay-Cherkessia, about one and a half million St. George ribbons were distributed. 20,000 tapes were distributed in North Ossetia. In Komi, a record number of St. George ribbons for the republic was distributed - over 400 thousand. More than 1.8 million St. George ribbons were produced and distributed in St. Petersburg.

St. George ribbons in 2009 were distributed in more than 30 countries around the world.

After such massive support and participation in the action, one of the goals was to draw attention to the problems of veterans. Therefore, the contacts and bank details of war veterans' hospitals in the regions of Russia are published on the official website, indicating necessary equipment and its estimated cost. Anyone can provide all possible assistance to hospitals.

In general, the idea of ​​using ribbons of different colors as a sign of social attitude or drawing attention to a particular problem is not new. In England, on the eve of Memorial Day, stylized poppies are distributed everywhere, in Canada - carnations. Not for free, for money - who gives how much, and the proceeds go to help veterans.

In 2001, the White Ribbon campaign was held in Canada. More than 100,000 people tied its symbol on their clothes - white ribbons, in order to draw attention to domestic violence, form a negative attitude towards the facts of its manifestation and organize counteraction to violence in society. The action is repeated every year from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) and continues for one or two weeks. In Russia, the action has been held in the Vologda Oblast since 2006.

On January 18, 2009, the action "Ribbon of the Leningrad Victory" was launched in St. Petersburg, timed to coincide with the 65th anniversary of the final lifting of the blockade of Leningrad. This ribbon repeats the ribbon of the medal "For the Defense of Leningrad". According to the idea of ​​the Government of St. Petersburg, the ribbon will be handed out on January 26 and 27 on the streets of the city.

In the spring of 2009, the Red Ribbon campaign was also held in St. Petersburg, the purpose of which was to draw attention to the problems of people infected with HIV and AIDS.
