The Order for Personal Courage was established by Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on December 28, 1988.
This decoration could be awarded to any USSR citizen showing outstanding courage and bravery during life-saving, keeping of public order and safeguard of State property, as well as for fighting crime, environmental catastrophes and other exceptional events.
The award was designed by A.B.Zhuk and represents a silver gilded silver star with words "For Personal Courage" and "USSR " written on it. It was replaced by Order of Courage in 1994, which has different look.
