History


The Medal for Valiant Labour was established on December 27, 1938. This medal was conferred in recognition of self-sacrifice in labour, and displaying valour during labour activities. It was awarded to workers, national economy specialists, scientific workers, cultural workers, educators, health care workers, and citizens of the USSR. It was also awarded to foreigners. The medal was designed by I. I. Dubasov.

The medal is made of silver and red enamel, and has a 12 o'clock ring for the suspension. It has two types. Type II, five sided suspension (1943-1991) is made from one or two pieces and has two variations. The serial numbers for both variations range from roughly 19000-7000.

Variation I has "No" before the serial number like Type I pieces, and has a silver ring soldered to the rim at 12 o'clock.

Variation II has a separate soldered ring or a circular ring which is made part of the medal. This variation does not have the Latin "No" or a serial number.

The obverse Russian inscription translates to: "For Valiant Labour". The obverse also features the Cyrillic script for the USSR. The reverse Russian inscription translates to: "Labour in the USSR-A Matter of Honour".
