    The first Heroes of modern Russia were awarded on April 11, 1992, Major General Sulambek Oskanov, who was able to divert a falling MiG from the village of Kozelki, which allowed him to avoid casualties, and Sergei Krikalev, the same one who flew into space as a citizen of the USSR and returned as a citizen of Russia. In total, more than 1,000 people were nominated for the Hero of the Russian Federation award, a third of them were participants in the war in Chechnya, and almost half were awarded posthumously.

    In July 2021, the highest award was posthumously received by submariners - captains of the 1st rank Andrei Voskresensky, Denis Oparin and Konstantin Somov, as well as captain of the 2nd rank Dmitry Solovyov.

    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:

    1. Drawing up applications to the organization where you plan to receive the benefit.
    2. Use a photocopy of your passport to confirm your identity.
    3. Registration of a certificate from the place of residence or registration.
    4. 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.
    • Delivery and burial of the body with all honors.
    • Cremation, free provision of a place in the cemetery.
    • Burial with funds from the federal budget.

    Additional benefits are provided for those who were close family members. This also applies to dependent citizens.

    1. For children - admission to universities without waiting lists, education at the expense of the federal budget.
    2. Free travel is maintained within the city and suburbs.
    3. Right to reimbursement of telephone services.

    6. Free medical care of any type.
    7. Exemption from taxation in the case of non-commercial activities.
    8. Receiving a pension.

    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

    A citizen receives monthly payments from the state:

    1. Federal payment: 63,708 rubles. (the amount is indexed annually).
    2. Regional payment: depends on the region, for example, in Moscow 25,000 rubles.
    3. Additional support from the Pension Fund - 22,000 rubles. (regardless of whether the Hero is a pensioner or not).
    4. 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.

    How much does the Hero of Russia earn per month?

    For an outstanding action, a person not only receives a Gold Star, but can also count on better living conditions. The state provides special monthly benefits and payments. Let's figure out how much the Hero of Russia receives per month in rubles. In some cases, their family members can also count on receiving cash benefits.

    For 2021, the main cash payment to Heroes of Russia is 42,654.32 rubles per month.

    This amount is significantly more than the average monthly earnings of an ordinary citizen in the Russian Federation. This payment is subject to annual indexation and increases depending on the level of inflation.

    To receive this payment, you must submit a special application. For registration, you must also present documentary evidence of the award of the title. After the benefit is assigned, the money will be transferred to the specified bank details once a month. In addition to the basic payment, other payments and benefits are also provided.
