The Order of Saint Stanislaus (Polish: Order Św. Stanisława Biskupa Męczennika, Russian: Орден Святого Станислава), also spelled Stanislas, was a Polish order of knighthood founded in 1765 by King Stanisław August Poniatowski of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It remained under the Kingdom of Poland between 1765 and 1831. In 1831 it was incorporated under the Russian Empire until the Russian Revolution (1917).[1]
Today, there are two recognised orders that claim descent from the original Order of Saint Stanislaus: the Russian dynastic Order of Saint Stanislaus, awarded by the head of the House of Romanov as former sovereigns of the Russian Empire, and the Polish Order of Polonia Restituta, a governmental order of merit awarded by the President of Poland and considered by some as a type of successor.

THE ORDER OE ST STANISLAUS. The Order was founded on the 7th May 1765 by Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowsky to procure friends and adherents to his throne. He placed it under the patronage of St Stanislaus, the Patron Saint of his country, as also of his own name. The number of Knights was fixed at one hundred exclusive of foreigners. The entrance fee is 90, 30, or 15 roubles according to the respective classes. Thirty Members of the first class, sixty of the second, and ninety of the third class receive respectively annual pensions of 142, 114, and 85 roubles. Those who advance to a higher class lose their previous pensions and must wait until their turn comes in the new class. Members who turn monks lose their pensions. Widows receive the full pensions of their husbands during the first year of their widowhood. In case of death the Insignia must be returned or the value paid in money. The annual festival of the Order is held on the 23rd April (7th May)
