The order was named after St. George, the patron saint of the Russian army. The Soldier's Order of George of the second degree was one of the most prestigious orders for ordinary soldiers in the Russian Empire. It was awarded for distinction in battle, for loyalty to the service and for merit on the battlefield. After the revolution of 1917, the order was temporarily suspended, but in 1994 it was renewed in the Russian Federation. Today, it continues to be awarded for outstanding service.
