 Order of Friendship of Peoples (Орден Дружбы народов,
Orden Druzhby narodov) instituted on 17 October 1972. A total 77,719 were awarded to persons, organisations, enterprises, military units, as well as administrative subdivisions of the USSR for "accomplishments in strengthening of inter-race and international friendship and cooperation, for economical, political, scientific, military and cultural development of the Soviet Union".
One
of the most intricate and impressive Soviet orders. I have
several spare copies, with documents and without that someone
may be intersted in. See awards
