The order of the Patriotic war is the first award that appeared during the great Patriotic war. It is also the first Soviet order that had a division into degrees. Only in 1977, the order of leaving the family extended to the rest of the orders and medals. On April 10, 1942, Stalin instructed the chief of the rear of the red army, General Khrulev, to develop and submit a draft of the order for awarding soldiers who distinguished themselves in the battles with the Nazis. Initially, the order was planned to be called “for military valor”. Artists Sergey Ivanovich Dmitriev (the author of drawings of the medals “for Bravery”, “for military merit” and XX years of the red army) and Alexander Ivanovich Kuznetsov were involved in the project of the order. Two days later, the first sketches appeared, from which several works were selected for the production of trial copies in metal. On April 18, 1942, the samples were submitted for approval. The basis for the future award was decided to take the project of A. Kuznetsov, and the idea of the inscription Patriotic war on the sign was taken from the project of S. The Statute of the order for the first time in the history of the Soviet award system listed specific feats for which the distinguished person could be presented for the award.
