On November 8, 1943, the Order of Glory and the Order of Victory were established.
By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, the highest order for the command staff and the most distinguished soldier's award were established at the same time.
The Order of Victory was awarded for the successful conduct of large-scale combat operations by the forces of one or several fronts, as a result of which the situation changed radically in favor of the Red Army.
Order No. 1 was awarded to Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov, No. 2 to Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky.
The Order of Glory was awarded exclusively to privates and sergeants of the Red Army, and in aviation also to junior lieutenants.
The awarding of this order was carried out only in ascending order, starting with the Junior III degree.
The Order of Glory was awarded for courage, bravery and fearlessness in battles for the homeland. The mere knowledge of the establishment of such orders instilled belief in victory.
