The second is from former Soviet orders that were slightly modified and kept after the USSR’s collapse. There are many new awards that resemble Imperial awards in basic design.

The entire Russian Federation’s Federal Awards system was revised in 2010 by Presidential Decree ¹1099 dated 7 Sep 2010. Under this decree, many of the old former Soviet orders that had been retained in 1991 were completely redesigned. These new awards are included on these charts.

There are five individual posters in this series:

1. Orders of the Russian Federation.
