"I would like to address another issue. State decorations signify the state’s special appreciation of an individual’s achievements. This system of state decorations should be further improved. To give us a wide range of possible state decorations that distinguish our country from the others, I have signed an Executive Order introducing a new award, the Order of St Catherine the Great Martyr, and a special distinction For a Good Deed. These state decorations will be conferred on Russian and foreign citizens for outstanding contributions to peacekeeping, charity and humanitarian efforts. This order and distinction will be awarded to people actively working in this field. I have also signed an Executive Order on awarding several highly deserving women. This Executive Order will be published."
