Who received the Order of St. Anna. Awarding the Order of Saint Anna
The Order of St. Anne was established in 1736 by the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp Karl-Friedrich in memory of his wife, daughter of Emperor Peter, who died in 1728 I Anna Petrovna.
After the death in 1739 of Duke Karl-Friedrich, the throne of the duchy passed to his son Duke Karl-Peter-Ulrich. Having become the heir to the Russian throne in 1742 and having converted to Orthodoxy under the name of Grand Duke Peter Feodorovich, the sovereign brought with him the Order of St. Anna. In February 1742, four more were added to the two holders of this order (Duke Karl-Friedrich and Grand Duke Peter Feodorovich): chamberlains M. I. Vorontsov, A. G. Razumovsky, brothers A. I. and P. I. Shuvalov. By the time Grand Duke Peter Feodorovich became Emperor Peter III , dozens of his subjects were awarded the Order of St. Anne.
After accession in 1762 to the Russian throne, the wife of Emperor Peter III , Empress Catherine II , their son Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich became Duke of Holstein-Gottorp and at the same time Grand Master of the Order of St. Anna. According to the Decree on the Russian Orders of Emperor Paul I On April 5, 1797, the Order of St. Anna became known as the Russian Order and was divided into three degrees.
Orders I and II degrees from 1796 to 1828 decorated with diamonds and constituted the highest degree of the order. The Order of St. Anne was awarded to both Russian and foreign citizens for public service, and from April 1, 1847, and "for impeccable 12-year service in one position, not lower than the eighth grade."
In 1815, the fourth degree of the Order of St. Anne was introduced, which was awarded only to the military.
Since 1829, orders with diamond decorations were awarded only to foreign citizens, and the Order of St. Anna was established to reward Russian citizens. I and II degrees with and without an imperial crown.
From June 6, 1828 to the order III degree was attached a bow for gentlemen awarded this order for military exploits.

History of the Order
The eldest daughter of Peter I, Anna Petrovna, in 1725 was married to the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, Karl Friedrich. A few years later, Anna Petrovna tragically died after giving birth in the German duchy. Frustrated, Karl Friedrich, deciding to honor the memory of his wife, established the Order of St. Anne in 1735. Karl was not destined to be a widower for long: he died four years after the establishment of the order, leaving behind his heir Karl Peter Ulrich.
Order of Saint Anne. (wikipedia.org)
In 1742, the childless Empress Elizabeth named her nephew Karl Peter, who in Russia was simply called Peter Fedorovich, as her heir. Pyotr Fedorovich (the future Emperor Peter III), having moved to Russia, brought with him the Order of St. Anna, which was immediately awarded to the son of Field Marshal Sheremetev. After the death of Peter III, the order was inherited by Paul. On the day of the coronation of Paul I, April 5, 1797, the Order of St. Anne was added to the state orders of the Russian Empire and was divided into three degrees. In 1829, the first statute (charter) of the order was issued.
Excerpts from "Establishment of Orders and Other Insignia" (1892)
1. The Imperial Order of St. Anne was established as a reward for feats performed in the field of public service, and as a reward for labors raised for the benefit of the public.
2. The Order of St. Anne is divided into four degrees. Its signs are:
FIRST DEGREE. The cross is golden, large, covered with red enamel; along the edges of the cross there are gold borders, in the corners of its connection there are gold through decorations; in the middle of the front side, on a white enamel field, also surrounded by a gold border, the image of St. Anna, and on the back, on the same field, a Latin blue monogram of the initial letters of the order's motto, under the crown. It is worn on a red ribbon with a yellow border, two and a quarter inches wide, over the left shoulder, with a forged silver star on the right side of the chest, in the middle of which there is a red cross; around the cross, on red enamel, the Latin motto: Amantibus Justitiam, Pietatem, Fidem, that is, Loving Truth, Piety, Loyalty.
SECOND DEGREE. A cross similar to that established for the first degree, but of a smaller size, is worn around the neck, on a ribbon one inch wide.
THIRD DEGREE. An even smaller cross; worn in a buttonhole, on a ribbon half an inch wide.
FOURTH DEGREE. A red enamel cross, in a golden field enclosed in a red enamel circle; above the cross is a golden crown. This sign is attached to a military sword, saber, semi-saber, broadsword, dagger (to the latter at the top of the handle). When awarding it for military exploits, an inscription is added on the hilt (near the dagger on the diameter of the handle of the arc): for bravery. Such an inscription also complains to those who, already having this fourth degree of the order for other, non-military distinctions, will once again perform a military feat.
3. On the star and on crosses above the degrees granted to non-Christians, the images of St. Anna and the cross are replaced by the image of the Imperial Russian Eagle.
4. Cavaliers are not allowed to decorate order signs with stones.
5. The Order of St. Anne is celebrated by gentlemen every year on the third day of February. On the same day, those who have been awarded this distinction by the Cavalier Duma complain about it.
6. In all order processions and celebrations, the knights of the Order of St. Anna go and take their places according to the seniority of the degrees and their awards, and the clergy march in the middle of the two senior gentlemen. At public tables for gentlemen, gentlemen of the Order of St. Anne sit next to the cavalry ladies of the Order of St. Catherine.
Rules for wearing the order

II degree. A smaller cross around the neck on a ribbon, also called "Anna on the neck". Relies 150 or 120 rubles of annual pension.

Attribute of a great commander
It so happened that the first order, to which the future Generalissimo A.V. Suvorov was presented, was the Order of St. Anna. The same order was earned by the father of Suvorov even under Elizabeth. In 1789, the future Field Marshal Kutuzov was awarded the Order of St. Anna.
Order of Saint Anne- an order established in 1735 as a dynastic award and in 1797 introduced by Emperor Paul I into the award system of the Russian Empire to distinguish a wide range of government officials and the military. The full official name of the order is the Imperial Order of Saint Anna. At the same time, the Order of St. Anna, ranked among the state awards of the Russian Empire, never ceased to have a special status as a dynastic award of the Romanov dynasty.
Those awarded with any degree of the Order of St. Anne automatically became hereditary nobles, but since 1845 this position has been changed. It was found that henceforth only the 1st degree of the order gives hereditary nobility, and the remaining degrees - only personal. The exceptions were those of the merchant class and Muslim foreigners, who, when awarded any of the degrees of the order, except for the 1st, did not become nobles, but received the status of "honorary citizens".
Degrees of the order and wearing rules
I degree- Cross on a ribbon 10 cm wide across the left shoulder, a star on the right side of the chest; 350 or 200 rubles. annual pension;
II degree- A smaller cross around the neck on a ribbon 4.5 cm wide (“Anna on the neck”); 150 or 120 rubles. annual pension;
III degree- An even smaller cross on the chest on a ribbon 2.2 cm wide; 100 or 90 rubles. annual pension;
IV degree- Cross on the hilt of edged weapons and a lanyard from the Order's ribbon ("Cranberry"); 50 or 40 rubles. annual pension.
When the order is granted for military exploits, two swords are added to the signs of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees, lying crosswise in the middle of the cross and a star, an inscription is added to the sign of the 4th degree on the hilt "For Courage".
Rules for wearing the degrees of the Order of St. Anna (from left to right from 4th to 1st)
Unlike all others Russian orders, the star of the Order of St. Anne was worn not on the left, but on the right side of the chest.
When awarding an order of the highest degree, signs of lower degrees are not worn (with the exception of signs with swords and signs of the order of the 4th degree on melee weapons).

Insignia of the Order of St. Anne
Anninsky medal on both sides, 1810s
Insignia of the Order of Saint Anne or Anninskaya medal- an award for the lower military ranks of the Russian Empire for long service and for special, non-combat merits. It was a silver gilded medal with an image of an order badge (red wax paint).
Established on November 12, 1796 by Emperor Paul I for non-commissioned officers and privates who served impeccably for 20 years. Those who were awarded the medal were exempted from corporal punishment. Prior to the establishment of the Insignia of the Order of St. George (St. George's Cross) in 1807, the Anninsky medal was awarded to lower ranks for military merit.
On July 11, 1864, in connection with the reduction of the service life from 25 to 7 years, according to the new provision, the medal began to be awarded " for special feats and merits, not combat»both in peacetime and in war time, as well as for 10 years of extra-long service. A special merit included, for example, the capture of an important state criminal. Those awarded for special merits were supposed to wear a medal on the Anninsky ribbon with a bow, awarded for long service - without a bow.
The Anninsky medal was awarded simultaneously with the appointment of a lump sum of money, from 10 to 100 rubles, depending on merit. The same badge, but without a bow from a sash and without a monetary issue, was awarded to non-commissioned officers for 10 years of extra-term impeccable service in combat units.
Anninskoe weapons
Anninskoe weapons- service edged weapons of an officer or official (sword, saber, dagger) with the sign of the Order of St. Anne of the 4th degree attached to its hilt. In contrast to the award Golden Weapons (see Golden Weapons "For Bravery"), the cavalier of the Anninsky weapons was awarded only the badge of the order and had the right to attach it to the hilt of his sword or saber.
Anninsky weapons - Order of St. Anne, 4th degree "For Courage". During the Russian-Turkish war, 1877-1878
The history of the Anninsky award weapon dates back to the years when the future Russian emperor
Anninsky Weapon, the unofficial name of the Russian award weapon (sword, saber, dagger) with the Order of St. Anna of the third degree attached to it (since 1797). With the addition of the fourth degree of the order in 1815, its sign began to be attached at the top of the hilt of the saber and on the handle of the dagger. Since 1828, the Anninsky weapon was supposed to have a lanyard made of a red sash with a yellow border. Since 1829, the inscription "For Courage" was placed on the hilt of Anninsky's weapons. On infantry swords and naval half-sabers, Ann's lanyards ended in a round red pompom, which received the name "cranberry" in army jargon, which also passed into the navy.
A page in the history of Russian award weapons
A special page in the history of Russian award weapons was the appearance of the so-called Anninsky weapons. This variety was associated with the Order of St. Anna, established back in 1735 by the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp Karl Friedrich in memory of his deceased wife Anna, daughter of the first Russian Emperor Peter, and who had one degree. After the death of Charles, the throne of the Duchy of Holstein passed to his son Karl Peter Ulrich, who was later destined to become the Russian Emperor Peter III. When, after the overthrow of Peter III, his wife Catherine II seized power, their young son Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich became the Duke of Holstein. Subsequently, Russia renounced the rights to this duchy, but the Order of St. Anne remained in the country.
After the death of Catherine, on the day of his coronation - April 5, 1797, Paul named the Order of St. Anna among other orders of the Russian Empire. From that time on, it was divided into three degrees, the lowest of them, III, was worn on edged weapons in the form of a small circle topped with an imperial crown, in the red enamel ring of which there was a red enamel cross, exactly the same as in the central medallion of the star of the Order. The sign of the Order was worn not on the inside, but on the outside of the sword cup, since there was no longer any reason to hide it. The largest number of awards fell on the period of the Italian and Swiss campaigns of A.V. Suvorov (1799), as well as during the successful operations of the Russian squadron under the command of Admiral F.F. Ushakov in the Mediterranean campaign (1798-1800). In total, during the period of his reign, Paul granted Anninsky weapons to 890 people. The last of them on February 10, 1801, a few days before the death of the emperor, was Captain P.G. Butkov.
In 1815, Emperor Alexander I divided the Order into four degrees, from now on his III degree was a cross worn on a ribbon on his chest, and IV, again the last, was a weapon. In 1829, the first official Charter of the Order of St. Anna, according to which on the Anninsky weapons received for military distinctions, not only the sign of the order was placed, but also the inscription "For courage". Unlike other Russian orders, the lowest degree of the Order of St. Anna was not removed from the recipient even if he received a higher degree. The weapon continued to be worn as a badge of distinction received in battle. In the Statute of the Order, dated the same year 1829, it was stipulated that the sign of its IV degree can be worn on all types of edged weapons, that is, not only on traditional sabers and checkers for award weapons, but also on semi-sabers, broadswords and naval daggers. The new Statute of the Order, adopted in 1845, once again confirming the previous establishments, made one important change in its fate. From now on, officers professing a non-Christian religion were awarded orders adorned with the image of the State Russian Eagle instead of the cross and the image of St. Anna, not a red cross, but a black double-headed eagle was also attached to the Anninsky weapons.
By a decree of March 19, 1855, issued during the Crimean War of 1853-1856, it was prescribed for the “more visible distinction” of the Order of St. Anna of the IV degree, given for military exploits, to wear a lanyard of a red-gold sash with silver tassels with the Anninsky weapon "For Courage". The clarification “for military exploits” is not accidental here - the fact is that until 1859, Anninsky weapons were awarded to officers not only for military, but also for civilian merit. And during the Crimean War of 1853-1856, by a nominal imperial Decree, it was allowed to give the IV degree of the Order of St. Anna to doctors who, at the risk of their own lives, saved the wounded on the battlefields, however, with the proviso that the inscription "For Bravery" should not be on such award weapons.
Degrees of the order and wearing rules

The Order of St. Anne is divided into four degrees. Its signs are:
FIRST DEGREE. The cross is golden, large, covered with red enamel; along the edges of the cross there are gold borders, in the corners of its connection there are gold through decorations; in the middle of the front side, on a white enamel field, also surrounded by a gold border, the image of St. Anna, and on the back, on the same field, a Latin blue monogram of the initial letters of the order's motto, under the crown. It is worn on a red ribbon with a yellow border, two and a quarter inches wide, over the left shoulder, with a forged silver star on the right side of the chest, in the middle of which there is a red cross; around the cross, on red enamel, the Latin motto: Amantibus Justitiam, Pietatem, Fidem, that is, Loving Truth, Piety, Loyalty. This motto is borrowed from the initial letters of the name and family of the Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna: A. I. P. F. (Anna, Imperatoris Petri Filia, Anna Emperor Peter's Daughter).
SECOND DEGREE. A cross similar to that established for the first degree, but of a smaller size, is worn around the neck, on a ribbon one inch wide.
THIRD DEGREE. An even smaller cross; worn in a buttonhole, on a ribbon half an inch wide.
FOURTH DEGREE. A red enamel cross, in a golden field enclosed in a red enamel circle; above the cross is a golden crown. This sign is attached to a military sword, saber, semi-saber, broadsword, dagger (to the latter at the top of the handle). When awarding it for military exploits, an inscription is added on the hilt (near the dagger on the diameter of the handle of the arc): for bravery. Such an inscription also complains to those who, already having this fourth degree of the order for other, non-military distinctions, will once again perform a military feat. Granted by this sign with the inscription: for courage, they wear lanyards, from the ribbon of the Order of St. Anne with silver tassels, according to approved samples.
Officers who have been awarded the Order of St. Anne of the fourth degree are supplied with only badges of the order, so that the recipients themselves attach them to swords or sabers.
The inscription for bravery on golden broadswords and naval sabers is made, following the example of cavalry sabers, on two rims of the hilt.
Class officials who were honored to receive the Order of St. Anne of the fourth degree for distinctions rendered under enemy shots are assigned a lanyard from the ribbon of this order without an inscription on the sword: for courage.
The Order of St. Anne of the fourth degree is not removed even with the highest degrees thereof.
To the signs of the Order of St. Anne, when he complains about the military, against the enemy, feats, join two swords lying crosswise: in the middle of the cross and the star.
On the star and on the crosses of all degrees, granted to non-Christians, the images of St. Anna and the cross are replaced by the image of the Imperial Russian eagle.
When awarding an order of the highest degree, the signs of the lower degrees are not worn, with the exception of the signs of the order of the 4th degree on edged weapons.

2. Badge for the Order of St. Anne, 1st class, after 1815.
3. Badge for the Order of St. Anne, 2nd class with diamonds (cut crystal) for awarding foreign nationals, 1897
4. Badge for the Order of St. Anne, 4th degree, to be worn on edged weapons.
Interestingly, the hilt of the Anninsky weapons, unlike the other two types of Golden award weapons, was always made of base metal. The badge of the order itself, which was placed on the hilt, was made of tompak (an alloy of copper and zinc), while any other badges of Russian orders of all classes without exception were always made of gold. This was explained by the fact that the Anninsky weapon, being the lowest officer combat award, was issued much more often than other distinctions. Over the years of the existence of the Anninsky weapon, it was awarded to hundreds of thousands of officers as an award. And although in the army it was not considered as honorable as the Order of St. George or the Golden Weapon "For Bravery", any officer dreamed of receiving it.
Annin's premium weapon
The presented checker belongs to the products made by individual order, as evidenced by the owner's monogram on the blade, and was made for an officer who was awarded the Anninsky weapon "For Bravery".
