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[1] 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[2] and more lately by decree No. 1099 of January 7, 2010[3] 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).
