The Order of Glory (Орден Славы) was a Soviet military decoration created on November 8, 1943, during the Second World War. It was intended exclusively for soldiers, corporals, and sergeants of the Red Army, to reward individual acts of bravery, heroism, and combat skill.
It consisted of three classes (III, II, and I), awarded progressively: only those who received all three classes attained the highest distinction, which carried enormous personal prestige. Its design featured a five-pointed star with the image of the Kremlin and the Spasskaya Tower in the center, surrounded by the word “Слава” (“Glory”). The Order of Glory became one of the most honorable decorations for Soviet troops, symbolizing direct recognition of the sacrifice of front-line fighters.
