According to the Russian military, there are two main reasons for canceling the Marshal's Star: First, the National Meritorious Medal was established in accordance with the Regulations on State Awards of the Russian Federation promulgated and implemented in 1994. Like the marshal's star badge, tie it with a ribbon, wear it around your neck and wear it repeatedly; What's more, the most important thing is economic considerations. Since the reorganization of the Russian army in May 1992, the military expenditure has been in a very tight state, and a "Marshal Star" is as high as 200 million rubles. There are as many as 15 generals in the Russian army and powerful departments and Admiral of the fleet. This alone can save a lot of money.
Since Russia reorganized its army in May 1992, nearly 20 people in Russia have been lucky enough to wear the "Marshal Star" medals of General and Admiral of the fleet. These people were promoted to generals or Admiral of the fleet from 1992 to 1996.
From 1997 to 1, so far, only 1 Russian servicemen have the honor to wear the "Marshal Star". He is the former Russian Defense Minister Igor Dmitriyevich Sergeyev (1938). June1997+065438+1October 2 1 was awarded the rank of Marshal of the Russian Federation. He is also the only senior general who has been awarded the marshal of the Russian Federation since the formation of the Russian army. Previously, he had been promoted to general in the position of commander-in-chief of 1996 strategic rocket army, and he wore "Marshal Star". Sergeyev has also become the only person in Russian military history who has worn both the Grand Marshal "Marshal Star" and the Russian Marshal "Marshal Star".
