St. George's ribbon - a two-color ribbon to the Order of St. George, St. George's cross, St. George's medal. Sailors of the Guards crew of the Russian Imperial Guards [2] and sailors of the ships awarded the St. George flag wore St. George ribbons on the cap. It was also used as an element of the St. George's Banners (standard) and addition to the banner and the standard, these colors were used on the award-winning buttonholes on the collars and cuffs of the lower ranks of the distinguished units [3]. Currently used as an element of the Battle Guards Guards in the Russian In the 1730s, black (enamel of the eagle), yellow (enamel of the gold field of the state emblem), later orange, and white (white handed the silver figure of St. George in the shield on the chest of the eagle ) began to be considered state flowers of the Russian Empire [3].
St. George's ribbon was established at the establishment of the Order of St. George by Catherine the Second on November 26, 1769 during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774 to encourage loyalty, courage and prudence for the good of the Russian Empire, manifested in courageous deeds or wise councils. The name of the tape was received on behalf of George the Victorious. The tape was supplemented with the motto: "For service and courage", as well as a white equilateral cross or four-pointed gold star. The ribbon was worn depending on the class of the gentleman: either in the buttonhole, or on the neck, or through the right shoulder. To tape it was supposed to be a lifetime salary. After the death of the owner was inherited, but because of the execution of a shameful misdemeanor could be seized from the owner. The Order of 1769 contained the following description of the tape:
"A silk ribbon about three black and two yellow stripes" [4].
However, as the images show, in practice, not so much the yellow as the orange color was originally used (from the heraldic point of view, both orange and yellow - only gold display options). The Statute of 1913 read:
"A tape about three black and two orange stripes, worn through the right shoulder" [1] [5].
The traditional interpretation of the colors of the St. George ribbon states that black means smoke, orange - flame. The Ober-Chamberlain Earl of Litta wrote in 1833: "The immortal legislator, who founded this order, believed that its ribbon connects the color of gunpowder and the color of fire" [6]. However, the prominent expert on Russian faleristics Serge Andolenko points out that black and yellow colors, in fact, only reproduce the colors of the state emblem: a black two-headed eagle on a gold background [7]. The image of George as on the state emblem, and on the cross (award) had the same colors: on white horse white George in a yellow cloak killing a black snake spear, respectively white cross with a yellow-black ribbon. In addition, there is speculation about the German origin of the tape: on the coat of arms of the house of Askaniev, to which Ekaterina belonged, and also on the coat of arms of her ancestral nest, the duchy of Ballenstedt, there are black and gold stripes.
