The Order of Courage (Russian: Орден Мужества, Orden Muzhestva) is a state decoration of the Russian Federation first established on March 2, 1994, by Presidential Decree 442[1] to recognise selfless acts of courage and valour. Its statute was amended three times, first on January 6, 1999, by Presidential Decree 19,[2] again on September 7, 2010, by Presidential Decree 1099,[3] and finally on December 16, 2011, by Presidential Decree 1631.[4] The Order of Courage nominally replaced the Soviet Order "For Personal Courage" in the post-USSR Russian awards system.
