Hero of Russia award - “Golden Star” (weighing about 22 g of gold)
The hero is awarded a “Gold Star” and a certificate of honor. In the small homeland of a distinguished citizen, his bust is erected.
Who is legally entitled to receive the title of Hero?
The Hero Star is awarded to those citizens of the country who have performed special actions that resulted in a significant physical or moral contribution to the development and status of the country. The possibility of receiving the title of Hero does not depend on a person’s profession, his social status or age category. To date, only a little more than 1,000 people across the country have received the medal. The title of Hero was awarded to people in the categories listed below:
- special testers technology;
- rescuing people from man-made and natural disasters;
- outstanding designers;
- astronauts;
- expedition participants;
- scouts;
- participants of military operations in the USSR and the Russian Federation;
- to the heroes-liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident;
- members of anti-terrorist groups.
Grounds for awarding the title
There is no specific list of grounds specified in the legislation. It is generally accepted that the title is awarded for exceptional services to the people of the Russian Federation. Moreover, the right to present the award belongs exclusively to the president of the country. The award is made during lifetime or posthumously. The citizen is awarded a gold star (badge) and a certificate.
The title was initially approved in 1992. Since then, 1,018 people have received the award, including almost half (464 citizens) posthumously. The largest number of awards was presented in 2000 - 176 people received the title.
Required documents
A package of documents is attached to the award proposal:
- Award sheet, fully completed and agreed upon.
- Minutes of the team meeting in which the application for the award was initiated.
- A copy of your passport and military ID (if available).
- As well as other documents, based on the type of activity and position of the citizen nominated for the award.
How to apply for benefits if you receive a title
There are not many steps in the registration procedure:
- Drawing up applications to the organization where you plan to receive the benefit.
- Use a photocopy of your passport to confirm your identity.
- Registration of a certificate from the place of residence or registration.
- A copy of the award document itself.
A copy of the passport and award certificate is needed for everyone who plans to receive security in the form of EDV. The issue must be resolved before October 1 of the current year, otherwise then you will have to wait a whole year until this date occurs again. From January 1 of the next reporting period, all payments are already assigned and begin to be transferred.
Posthumously, such citizens are also provided with benefits:
- Monument at the burial site.

Attention! It is worth additionally taking into account that the size of the EDV is indexed annually. An application for the appointment of this payment is submitted to one of the territorial branches of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. If necessary, a citizen can refuse to transfer budget money to him. An application is also drawn up for this.
After the death of a citizen, to determine financial assistance to each family member, the total amount that was paid previously is divided by their number.
In some regions, authorities use special increasing coefficients if current financial capabilities allow such a decision. Therefore, it is better to find out about the final amounts from the responsible authorities.
At the same time, the legislation does not contain a specific list of grounds on which the titles themselves are awarded. It is only accepted that exceptional services to the people of the Russian Federation are taken into account. Only the president has the right to present such awards. The citizen is awarded not only the gold star itself, but also a certificate. Then copies of it are used to process payments and required assistance.
Monthly benefits

- Increased pension 75,000 rubles .
The pension is paid on any basis - reaching the appropriate age, loss of a breadwinner and/or disability of 1, 2 or 3 groups. Thus, a Hero of the Russian Federation living in Moscow and becoming a pensioner will receive more than 185 thousand rubles . Moreover, if the title was awarded posthumously, the widow or children receive all payments for life.
Indexation of payments for the hero of Russia
Since the review and indexation of payments is carried out in April of each new year, it is almost impossible to predict what their amount will be this year. In this case, the coefficients of social payments provided for each region separately are not taken into account.
