Lies about Georgievskaya tape. Why the George ribbon is so called
The St. George Ribbon is a public action on the distribution of symbolic ribbons dedicated to the celebration of Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War, held since 2005 at the initiative of RIA Novosti and the ROSHM "Student community".
Since then, the action has become traditional and is held annually on funds and budget from April 24 to May 12. In 2008, St. George ribbons spread in more than 30 countries.
For 6 years of the campaign, more than 50 million ribbons around the world were distributed. Countries in which the campaign is most active - Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Abkhazia, Belarus, Ukraine, Greece, France, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Moldova, China, Vietnam, Belgium, Kyrgyzstan, Israel , Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.
The George Ribbon is called "Georgievskaya" because it is the ribbon of orders and medals of Russia - the USSR, as well as the former Russian Empire.
Such a tape decorated the medal "For the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War. 1941-1945", which all participants in hostilities were awarded in May 1945.
That is why the George ribbon is considered to be in Russia at the present time (2014) symbol of victory over fascism.
Then, of course, it was not advertised that this was the St. George Ribbon, but many knew that this tape was taken from the analogue of the royal award "Georgievsky Cross", which was the most respected among the military. She was awarded even simple soldiers (Soldati Georgievsky Cross).
But that's not all. The fact is that the St. George Cross in Russia appeared only in 1807, but before that was the Order of St. George, established in 1769 by Empress Catherine. He also had a yellow-black ribbon.
Holy George himself was very respectful in Russia. George Victorious - symbol of the city of Moscow. This is a person counted for the saints in the years of persecution of Christianity (4th century). He could not defeat the torchings and executioners, as he constantly revived and again preached the teachings of Christ. He was invincible.
Mr. Eorgievskaya Ribbon is one of the most recognizable symbols of the Russian reality of recent years. This black and orange tape is one of the main attributes of Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War (Great Patriotic War - one of the most respected holidays in our country. Unfortunately, a few of those who tie up Georgievskaya ribbon on their clothes or clings her to the car, knows that she really means and how to wear it right.
The history of the occurrence of Georgievskaya tape
On November 26 (December 7), 1769, Empress Ekaterina II established a reward for the officers of the Russian army, handed over to personal courage, manifested in the battlefields - the Order of St. George, to wear it was supposed to "Ribe Silkova about three black and two yellow stripes", subsequently And the name was fixed - Georgievskaya tape.
The Order of St. George, approved by Catherine II
The Order was divided into 4th grade. The first degree of the Order had three signs: a cross, a star and a ribbon, consisting of three black and two orange strips, which was rushed through the right shoulder under the uniform. The second degree of Order also had a star and a big cross, which was rushed on the neck on a narrower tape. The third degree is a small cross on the neck, the fourth is a small cross in a loop.
Star and signs to the Order of St. George Some of the first cavaliers of the Order of St. George - the participants of the marine battle in the Chesmen Bay, which occurred in June 1770 in this battle, the Russian squadron, under the general command of Count Orlova A. G., completely defeated the superior Turkish fleet. For this battle, the Count Orlov was granted to the Order of St. George of the first degree and received an honorable prefix to his surname "Chesmensky".
The first medals in St. George Ribbon were awarded in August 1787, when a small detachment under the command of Suvorov beat the attack superior in the number of the Turkish landing of the sought to capture the Kinburn fortress. Suvorov, who was in the first rows of fighting and inspired them with a personal example, in this battle was twice wounded, the courage of Russian soldiers allowed to defeat the Turkish landing.
For the first time in Russian history, the medal was presented not to all those who participated in battle, it was noted only those who showed the greatest personal courage and heroism. Moreover, it was soldiers who made direct participation in hostilities who were more worthwhile to decide. Among the twenty Awarded for this fight was the Grenisanther of the Shlisselburg Regiment Stepan Novikov, who personally saved Suvorov from the Yanychar who attacked him. Black - orange tapes were laid for other medals of this war that were awarded to the participants of the heroic sturge of Ochakov and distinguished by the capture of Izmail.
Georgievskaya ribbon at collective awards.
Tape of the Order of St. George begins to occupy a particularly honored position and under collective awards of various military units of the Russian army. This should include, the so-called Georgiev pipes introduced in 1805. These pipes were made of silver, an image of the St. George Cross was applied to the body, indicating that this difference was given. In addition, a darkness of black and orange colors was mounted on the pipe.
Georgievskaya trumpet There were two varieties of pipes - cavalry and infantry. Differences between them were in their form. The infantry was curved, and the cavalry - direct.
Since 1806, Georgiyev's banners appear among collective promotions. In addition to these banners, the White Ordinance Cross was located, and under the inscribing the St. George ribbon was observed with bannyy brushes. The Chernihiv district regiment, two Don Cossack shelf, Kiev Grenadier and Pavlograd Gusar Shelves received the first banner. They were awarded "for feats in Schunghang on November 4, 1805 in the battle with an enemy consisting of 30 thousand."
In 1807, Emperor Alexander 1 established a special award for the lower ranks of the Russian army for personal courage in battle, which was named - the sign of the distinction of a military order. The wearing of the cross was prescribed on the ribbon, the colors of which corresponded to the colors of the Ordena of St. George. It is from this period that the popularity of St. George ribbon becomes popular, since such awards the simple Russian people saw much more often than the gold order of the officer of the Russian army. This sign in the future was called the soldier's St. George Cross or Soldiersky George (Highness), as he was called in the people.
Since 1855, the officers received award gold weapon "for courage", for more visible differences were prescribed to wear treaty from the St. George tape. In the same 1855, the medal "For the protection of Sevastopol" was established. For the first time in the history of the Russian Empire, the medal was presented not for the heroic victory, namely, for the defense of the Russian city. This medal was silver, intended for both military ranks and civilians participating in the defense of Sevastopol. For generals, officers, soldiers and sailors of the Sevastopol garrison, who served there from September 1854 to August 1855, the medal was awarded in St. George Ribe.
Not bypassed military differences and clergy. Back in 1790, a special decree was published on the award of military priests for exploits with participation in military battles. Then the premium golden cross in St. George Ribe was established. Many of the regimental priests of the Russian Army took direct participation in the combat actions of Russian troops and their heroic acts earned this high difference. One of the first persons awarded in the middle cross is a regimental priest Trofim Kuzinsky. When storming the fortress, Ishmail was killed by the battalion commander, in which the father Trofim was a priest. The soldiers stopped confused, not knowing what to do next. Father Trofim, unarmed, with a cross in his hands, first rushed to the enemy, fascinating the soldiers behind him and supporting their morale.
In total, during the institution of the Golden Inspection Cross to the Russian-Japanese War, they were awarded one hundred eleven people. And for each such award stood a specific feat of the regimental priests of the Russian army.
As approved in 1807, the medal "For courage" also worn on black and orange tape, in 1913, was counted for the Order of St. George and became among the St. George Cross, the most mass soldier's medal was awarded for personal courage.
During the existence of a black-orange tape of St. George, since its appearance in 1769 and until 1917, it was an indispensable attribute of various awards of the Russian Empire awarded for military courage. Golden Officers Crosses, Golden Weapons Drugs, Differences, Medals, As well as Collective - Silver Pipes, Banners, Standards. So in the award system of Russia, a whole system of military rewards was formed, among which the St. George ribbon was a kind of binding link of all of them in a single whole, which is a symbol of military valve and glory.
The day of the institution of the Order of the Holy Great Martial Party and the victorious of George on November 26, 1769 in the history of Russia was considered the day of St. George Cavaliers. This day was celebrated annually. On this day, not only in the capital of the Empire, but also in almost all corners of the Russian Earth, the cavaliers of St. George differences were honored. He honored, despite the ranks and titles, since the feats that these people committed were made not in the name of the awards, but in the name of their debris.
During the Great Patriotic War, continuing the combat traditions of the Russian army, on November 8, 1943, the Order of Glory of Three degrees was established. His status, as well as the yellow-black color of the ribbon, was reminded of the St. George Cross. Then Georgievskaya tape, confirming the traditional colors of the Russian military valor, decorated with many soldiers and modern Russian premium medals and signs.
Order of glory 3-degrees On March 2, 1992, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of Russia "On State Awards of the Russian Federation" it was decided to restore the Russian Order of St. George and the sign of the difference between the "Georgievsky Cross".
And in the spring of 2005, "Georgievskaya ribbon" appeared on the streets of Russian cities. This action was born spontaneously, she rose from the online project "Our Victory", the main purpose of which was the publication of the stories and photographs of the Times of the Great Patriotic War. The ribbon has become a kind of attribute of solemn events, traditional meetings with veterans, festive festivities in many cities of the Russian Federation.

What does black and orange mean?
In Russia, they were the colors of the imperial, state, corresponded to the black double-headed eagle and the yellow field of state coat of arms. It was this, the symbolism, apparently, adhered to Empress Catherine 2, arguing the colors of the tape.

How to wear a St. George Ribbon
The official rules of wearing Georgievskaya tape does not exist. However, it should be understood that this is not a fashionable accessory, but a sign of memory, respect, grief and gratitude to the participants of the Great Patriotic War. Therefore, it is worth treating the ribbon carefully and with respect.
Main ways
Georgievskaya ribbon is customary to wear on the chest on the left as a sign that the feat of Soviet soldiers remained forever in the heart of the descendants. Do not wear a tape on the head, below the belt, on the bag, on the car body (including the car antenna). You also do not need to use it as cords or lacing on the corset (such cases were also). In addition, the Georgievskaya tape is not allowed to be worn out.
Hellet
A simple and widespread option is to attach the George ribbon in the form of a loop. To do this, cut off the 10-15 centimeters of the tape, cross the ends in the form of the letter "x" and stick to the middle of the brooch, pin or icon. Wear on the left side of the chest.
Attach the George ribbon in the form of a simple bow. It can be tied up with any familiar way, the main thing then to straighten the knot, "ears" and ends of the tape. You can also not tie the tape, but simply form two loops from it and consolidate them in the middle of a pin or a badge.
Bant-eight
Take about 30 centimeters of tape, fold the eight, consolidate in the middle. Take the ribbon shorter and also fold it eight, fasten. Next you need to take two more tapes, each less than the previous one. It turns out four tapes of different lengths, folded eight. Fold them on each other and copold, riding another ribbon. It turns out a large, but nonsense bow, which should be fixed on the left side of the chest.
Georgievskaya ribbon can be attached to clothes in the form of a zipper or zigzag. For this, the tape is folded the harmonica three times and pull a little for the tips to get the letter "N". Fix pins or sew. Attach to the clothes pin, brooch or badge.
To tie the St. George ribbon and the form of a tie, you will need a tape of a long length. You can use any familiar method of tie tie. For example, wrap the ribbon in the form of a circle so that the left end is longer. The right end to impose on the left and skip to it. Then wrap the ends again, forming a loop, in which to turn up the left edge from the bottom and pull out from the loop, to turn into the eye and tighten.
Wear a George ribbon correctly When the celebration of the Victory Day is completed, you should not throw out the St. George Rent. Left on the streets, abandoned in dirt, thrown into the urns, leave a painful impression and upset veterans, and after all, the action is aimed at ensuring their feat.
It is best to remove the St. George ribbon until next year or carry it for special dates - for example, on the day of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War or on the end of the Stalingrad battle.
More precisely, the truth about it. In short, he is unloading that porridge, which the liardes and demagogue spread.
The other day, a person picking himself to the Communists threw me a reproach: "You have replaced the symbols of victory with your ribbon, and now you want the neighbors to do this fake," it was said about.
And he led the proof of the exemplary speech of Nevzorov, which can be considered by the quintessence of the whole lies about this. Below is the recording and text itself, and the full version can be read and see:
"The definition of the ribbon, which people bind on May 9 as "Colorado" , in the color of the colors of the Colorado Bucket, gave a really sometime I am on the air "Fifth Channel". I have nothing naturally against May 9th. But if you are so serious about this, if it is extremely essential for you, then you must be extremely neat and serious, including in symbols .Now let's disassemble this Brehny. By the way, Alexander Glebovich can say "Thank you" for the fact that he so briefly and Tolkovo summarized almost all the main coupling, a rapid and frank lie about the George ribbon.Georgievskaya ribbon, was not known in the Soviet army . The Order of Glory was established only in 43, extremely popular, even fame at the front did not use , the award should have a certain historical path so that it becomes popular and famous, and just the opposite General Shkuro, General Vlasov, many the highest ranks of the SS supported the cult of Georgievskaya tape . It was a tape and Vlasovov, and the highest ranks of the SS.
Understand how we did not belong to the Soviet state, but the color of victory, and we need to treat it calmly and courageously, victory color - red . Red was raised banner over Reichstagom , under the red banners, people in the Patriotic War were walking, not as different. And one who carefully and with pain belongs to this holiday is likely to be accurate and in compliance with this symbolism too. "
And I know, of course, that in the Soviet system of awards and signs there was no concept of "Georgievskaya Tape".
But whether we want to dip each time in the Debresions of Fallistiki seems to be: "The tape is a silk repition Muarovaya ribbon of golden-orange color with three longitudinal black stripes applied on it with 1 mm released"?
Therefore, for simplicity, let's call it conditionally "Georgievskaya Tape" - after all, everything is clear, what are we talking about? So…
Symbol of Victory
Question: When did you have a St. George Ribbon to become a symbol of victory?
Medal "For victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945."
It looked like this:
and so:
Soviet marine guards at the Victory Parade
Guards tape on the USSR Mail Mail ( 1973 year !!!)
and, for example, like this:
Guards Ribbon on the Guards Naval Flag of the destroyer "Rady"
Order of Glory
A.Nesorov:And further:
My friend Minaev, do not forget about my former profession. I still had a reporter once. That is, I must be absolutely shameless and unprincipled.
S.minaev:And finally, to place all the points over "I" - another quote:
Listen, it's amazing, because you are quite cynically answered questions around which everyone is beginning to pick the pillows of fingers and say that it simply was that time.A.Nesorov:
Yes, there was no such time. We were all sitting in one degree or another on gold chains from different oligarchs, we boasted, we were poured. We tried to blame, having taken with them, if possible, the gold chain.
"That Berendeva Hut, which was built on the ruins of my homeland, no shrine for me is"Therefore, listening to reasoning about orders, about the glory, about war and exploits, about Colorado beetles and a "serious attitude to symbolism" - do not forget (just for the sake of objectivity) who exactly argues this.
"Vlasovskaya ribbon"
As many inspirational lies, non-residents, looking for numbers to confirm their speculation, forgot about common sense.
He himself said that the Order of Glory was established in 1943. And the Guards Ribbon - and before, in the summer of the 42nd. And the so-called "Russian Liberation Army" was only officially established six months later, and operated mainly in 43-44 years, while officially submitting to the Third Reich.
Tell me, can you imagine that the official military orders and the signs of the deliberation of the Wehrmacht coincided with the awards of the opponent's army? So that German generals create military units and officially secured the use of the signs of the Soviet Army in them?
It is reliably known that the "Russian Liberation Army" fought under the tricolor, and as a symbolism used a kind of parody of the Andreev flag.
The land fleet in the steppes of Ukraine turned out to be, as you can see, not at all anecdote ... :)
And it looked like this:
And that is all. They received awards from the German Wehrmacht according to the regulations established by him.
Order of the Patriotic War
During the war by this order were awarded 1.276 million people , Including about 350 thousand - Order I degree.
Think: also more than a million! It is not surprising that it has become one of the most popular and recognizable victory symbols. It is this order - along with the Order of Fame and the Medal "For the victory", they had seen almost always at the Frontoviki returned from the war.
It was with him returned (for the first time during the Soviet power!) Order of various degrees: the Order of the Patriotic War (I and II degree) and later - the Order of Glory (I, II and III degree), which was already discussed.
Order "Victory"
Title talking. And why he became one of the victory symbols later, after the 45th year, it is also clear. One of the three main characters.
Its tape combines the colors of 6 other Soviet orders, separated by white gaps width in half a million:
- Orange with black in the middle - order of Glory (at the edges of the tape; The same hated nonsense and some modern "Communists" colors)
- Blue - Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky
- Dark Red (Bordeaux) - Order of Alexander Nevsky
- Dark blue - Cutuzov Order
- Green - Order Suvorov
- Red (central section), 15 mm wide - Order of Lenin (the highest award in the Soviet Union, if anyone does not remember)
Today, when they like to align the story, it will not be harmful to remember, with which respect these orders are stored abroad, which were awarded allies:
- The award of Eisenhauer is located in the memorial library of the 34th president of the United States in his hometown of Abilin (Kansas);
- Marshal Tito award is exhibited at the Museum "May 25" in Belgrade (Serbia);
- Feldmarshal Montgomery is exhibited at the Imperial Military Museum in London;
"The Order of the" Victory ", as the highest military order, awarded the faces of the top command of the Red Army for the successful conduct of such combat operations in a scale of several or one front, as a result of which the situation in favor of the Red Army changes in the root."Victory symbols
And now let's do simple as three kopecks and obvious conclusions.
Tens of millions of soldiers are returned from the front. There is some kind of percentage of senior officers, a little more - the younger command formulation, but mostly ordinary and sergeants.
The medal "For the victory" at all at all. The Order of Glory - in many, and for some more and 2-3 degrees. It is clear that the full cavaliers are honorated, it is their portraits in the press and at meetings, concerts and other mass events - there they are also with all their orders.
The fleet guards also, of course, proudly bear their signs of differences. Like, not a flasher Spit - Guard!
Well, what, tell me for mercy, is surprising that three symbols become the most popular and recognizable and recognizable: the Order "Victory", the Order "Patriotic War" and the Georgievskaya ribbon?
Who does not suit the Georgievskaya tape on today's posters? Well, let's all here, we will watch Soviet. We will look like "replaced the story."
"Reached!"
One of the most famous posters. Drawn shortly after the victory. And there is already a symbolism of this victory. There was a small prehistory.
In 1944, Leonid Golovanov on his poster "We do to Berlin!" Depicted a laughing warrior. The prototype of a smiling hero on the march was the real hero - a sniper of the votes, the front portraits of which were formed the basis of the famous leaf.
And in 1945 there was already a legendary "Red Army - Glory!", In the upper left corner of which the previous work of the artist is cited:
So, here they are genuine victory symbols. On the legendary poster.
On the right side of the breast of Krasnoarmeys - the Order of the Patriotic War.
On the left - the Order of Glory ("Non-Purchant", Yeah), the medal "For the victory" (with the same Georgievskaya ribbon on the block) and the medal "For the capture of Berlin".
This poster knew the whole country! He is still recognized. More popular for him, perhaps, only "Motherland calls!" Irakli Tidze.
Now someone will say: "Poster to draw is not difficult, and in life it was not so." Well here"in life"
Ivanov, Viktor Sergeevich. Photo 1945.
Here is another poster. What is the edge of the star?
Okay, this is the end of the 70s, someone will say that he does not work. Take something Stalin's years:
Well? "Vlasovskaya ribbon", Yes? Under Stalin? Seriously?!!
How are the nondes of the loss? "The ribbon was not known in the Soviet Army."
Well, we see how she "was not known." Already under Stalin, it became the symbol of the Red Army, and the victory symbol.
But from the Brezhnev era poster:
What's there on the breast at the fighter? Only only only "There is no popularity and even a few famous Order", as far as I see. And nothing more. By the way, it emphasizes that the fighter is ordinary. There is no coast "Commanders", it was a feat of the people.
(By the way, most posters are clickable).
But another one, to the 25th anniversary of the Victory. The 1970s is registered on the poster:
And the glorious date is written "Not known in the Soviet Army with a ribbon", which"Not a victory symbol."
You look at what is happening! Our current power is what! And until 1945 reached, and in the 60s "Fake" squared, and in the 70s!
And then again they are for their own! Again "their" ribbon:

And now the next one again:
BELL
GEORGE RIBBON
On the eve of Victory Day Ivan Alekseich and his seven-year grandson Vanya walked around the city. Okay! On the streets purely, the wind plays flags, cars carry cars, and almost every taxi on the antenna is a Georgievskaya ribbon.
In the middle of the street, the guy with a girl, smiling, handed out the same black and yellow ribbons. They took and grandfather with the grandson on one to the next day, going to the parade, attach them to the chest. "Grandfather, why are these ribbons are called Georgievski? - asked Vanya. - Probably, there was such a glorious hero in the war named George, who kiss a tedder of enemy tanks or airplanes, yes? "
Grandfather suddenly leaned over and raised something from the asphalt: "So he, that hero Georgy, lies on Earth. Not good". The grandfather's palm walked on the new "Ten Nunt" - a coin in 10 kopecks. "See, Vanya? This is the Holy George Victorious. In the people, he is also called their forehead brave. And what is not brave? You just imagine. He was a rich and noble young man, a warlord in the army of the Roman emperor. But when I learned that the ruler prepares cruel persecution of Christians (and Georgy was a secret Christian), he came to the emperor and stated that he believes in Christ. For this, he was executed. Time passed, and in honor of the Great Martyr Georgy began to build temples. And what happened an amazing case, Vanya. In the city of Amatride (this on the Black Sea) there was a church dedicated to George - before the Old, which seemed to be about to roll. And people in that city lived poor people, they had no money for repair. And this is somehow a boy runs to the temple - the same fidget as you. The face of the originated - the eldest guys again nailed the tumakov for the fact that in any game could not win. "Help me win, Saint George," the boy prayed, "and I will bring you a delicious pie for it!" And he heard Holy - since then the parenchyok began to take the top of the games. His mother baked his cake, and the boy put it in front of the altar: "Here, Holy George, it's you!" Only the boy came out of the temple - the merchants come there. They see - the pie, but how tasty smells! "Listen, why holy cake? Let's eat it, so good to disappear, and in return will leave incense, "says one merchant to another. They were shared with the cake - and what to attack? How to get out? Wherever you look - only the walls and a single door! The merchants understood that they were sinned, put in front of the altar on a silver coin, then in gold, diligently prayed to the saint - and finally found a way out. This miracle became known to the whole country, pilgrims stretched into the poor temple, and a beautiful new church grew up on their donations. "
"Why nevertheless George depict the rider with a spear?" - asked Vanya. "But why. Already after his death, the holy appeared in the form of a young man on horseback and defeated the snake. The monster has long held everyone in fear. Every day it crawled out of the lake to drag with him the next sacrifice to the bottom - (the inhabitants of that town in lots were given to the death of their children). And so came the turn of the royal daughter. Somehow, a beautiful rider with a spear, and pushed the snake on the revenue and pushed the snake throat. He ordered the girl to throw the snake on the neck of the rope and lead him to the city like a dog. Residents horrified burned, envy this procession. On the city square, Georgy killed the mound, and the people announced that this is the Lord Jesus Christ sent him to his aid. Grateful inhabitants threw out their former idols and accepted the Holy Baptism. It turned out that George saved not only the princess, but also the whole people. This is the story, "Ivan Alekseich concluded.
"Also, God helped to defeat the fascists!" - Vanya guess. "Sure! - Grandfather agreed. - And the Great Martyr Georgy was near. So many coincidences! Taking Berlin and the Capitulation of Germany occurred on the eve of the holiday of St. George; On his day, this year came Easter! And the Parade of Victory in June took Marshal named Georgy - famous beetles. And when he drove along the Red Square on his white horse past the defeated banners with a swastika, of course, it was impossible not to remember the love-loved Muscovites - the image of the patron of the host of the victorious Georgy. "
"Grandfather, why did the ribbons come in honor of him? Where did it go from? " - also asked Vanya. "On such ribbons it was supposed to wear the Higher Military Award - the St. George Cross," Ivan Alekseevich explained. - He appeared under Queen Catherine the second. Only the most courageous soldiers and officers have honored to wear this tape. In the Great Patriotic War, the glory was honored with the Order of Glory - but he had the same ribbon, as the Order of St. George. And here we are told with you (without an order) as a sign of respect for the heroes of war and the eternal memory of them. "
Today, the George ribbon is perceived more as a modern fashion accessory in certain May days, which does not withstand any criticism. But few know the history of the victory symbol and courage, courage and resistance. Another less often the story of the origin of the color of the ribbon is familiar. And why is the belt name of Georgievskaya?

№7. When it appeared for the first time
Georgievskaya tape appeared on November 26 (December 7) 1769 . In case of Catherine II, together with the Order of St. George - the Higher Military Award of the Russian Empire. The motto of the Order was: "For the service and bravery."
Ekaterina II with the Order of St. George 1st degree. F. Rokotov, 1770 The first cavalier of the Order was the Empress itself - on the occasion of its institution ... And "for the service and courage" - Fedor Ivanovich Fabrician - Russian General, Hero of the Russian-Turkish war 1768-1774.
Under his command, a special detachment from hysteric battalions and part of the 1st Grenadier regiment, with a number of 1600 people, broke the head of the Turkish detachment of 7,000 people and took the city of Galats. For this feat, Fabrichian on December 8, 1769, the first in history was granted the Order of St. George 3rd degree.

After the death of the owner was inherited, however, due to the commission, the owner could be removed from the owner. The Order of the Statute of 1769 contained the following description of the tape: "Ribbon Silkova about three black and two yellow stripes."
However, as images show, in practice, it was already initially used not so much yellow as orange color (from a heraldic point of view and orange, and yellow - only the options for displaying gold).
The traditional interpretation of the colors of St. George ribbon claims that black means smoke, orange - flame . Ober-Camener Count Litt wrote in 1833: "The immortal legislation, this Order of the Ording, believed that his tape connects color powder and color of fire ».
However, a prominent specialist in Russian phaallist SERJAOLENKO indicates that black and yellow colors, in fact, only reproduce the colors of the state coat of arms: black double-headed eagle on a gold background.
The image of George, both on the state coat of arms, and in the very cross (award) had the same colors: on a white horse, white Georgy in a yellow cloak killing a black snake, respectively, the white cross with a yellow-ribbon.
