The Order of Honour (Russian: орден Почёта, romanized: orden Pochyota) is a state order of the Russian Federation established by Presidential Decree No. 442 of March 2, 1994, to recognise high achievements in government, economic, scientific, sociocultural, public, sport and charitable activities. Its statute was amended by decree No. 19 of January 6, 1999, and more lately by decree No. 1099 of January 7, 2010, which defined its present status.
The award is the successor of the Soviet Order of the Badge of Honour (renamed Order of Honour in 1988).
