To summarize, this is an all-in-all superb example of a Gold Medal of Hero of Socialist Labor! Hero of Socialist Labor was an honorary title of the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries. It was the highest degree of distinction for exceptional achievements in national economy and culture. It provided a similar status to the title Hero of the Soviet Union that was awarded for heroic deeds, but unlike the latter, was not awarded to foreign citizens. The Honorary Title “Hero of Socialist Labor” was introduced by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union on December 27, 1938. Originally, Heroes of Socialist Labor were awarded the highest decoration of the Soviet Union, the Order of Lenin and a certificate from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. In order to distinguish the Heroes of Socialist Labor from other Order of Lenin recipients, the “Hammer and Sickle” gold medal was introduced by decree of the Presidium on May 22, 1940, to accompany the Order of Lenin and the certificate. In total, according to the Decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR , the title of Hero of Socialist Labor was awarded to 20,747 people, including 205 times twice and 16 times three times. No less than 21 people received this high title posthumously. For various reasons, 87 people were deprived of the title of Hero of Socialist Labor, one person was deprived of the title of Hero of Socialist Labor twice, and one person was deprived of the title of Hero of Socialist Labor three times. In relation to 44 people, the Decrees on conferring the title were canceled as unfounded. Another 3 people were deprived of only the second Hammer and Sickle medal, that is, they ceased to be twice Heroes of Socialist Labor, but remained Heroes of Socialist Labor.
