The Medal "For Work in Agriculture" (Russian: Медаль «За труды по сельскому хозяйству») is a state decoration of the Russian Federation aimed at recognising merit and achievement within the agro-industrial complex.

Award history

The Medal "For Work in Agriculture" was established by Presidential Decree № 335 of March 10, 2004.[1] This decree detailed the medal's statute (award criteria) and appearance. Presidential decree № 1099 of September 7, 2010[2] amended the entire Russian awards system away from the distinctions of the Soviet Era, this included changes to this medal's statute.

Award statute

The Medal "For Work in Agriculture" is awarded to citizens of the Russian Federation for achievements in the field of agriculture and major contributions to the development of the agro-industrial complex, in training, in research and in other activities aimed at improving the efficiency of agricultural production if previously awarded the honorary title of "Honoured Worker of Agriculture of the Russian Federation".[3]

It may also be awarded to foreign nationals that produce agricultural products on the territory of the Russian Federation, for outstanding achievements in the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation.[3]

The order of precedence of the Russian Federation dictates that the Medal "For Work in Agriculture" is to be worn on the left breast with other medals and placed immediately after the Medal For Life Saving.[4]

Award description

The Medal "For Work in Agriculture" is a 32-millimetre-diameter silver-plated circular medal with raised rims on both the obverse and reverse. The obverse bears a cross pattée, its four arms enamelled in green, at its center a bare metal medallion bearing the relief State Emblem of the Russian Federation surrounded by a wreath of corn. On the otherwise plain reverse the inscription in relief "FOR WORK IN AGRICULTURE" (Russian: "ЗА ТРУДЫ ПО СЕЛЬСКОМУ ХОЗЯЙСТВУ"), below the inscription, "№" in relief with a horizontal line for the award serial number.[3]

The medal is suspended by a ring through the award's suspension loop to a standard Russian pentagonal mount covered with a 24-millimetre-wide green silk moiré ribbon with 1.5 mm yellow stripes located 1.5 mm from the edges.[3]

gollark: There's a Twitter API but it's awful to get access to.

gollark: You can make one which always returns `null` or something. It says that conversion to language objects is implementation defined.

gollark: What are you actually selling? Some sort of hosted bot platform?
