Medal statute[edit]

The Medal \"Veteran of Labour\" was awarded to workers for many years of hard work in the national economy, sciences, culture, education, healthcare, government agencies and public organizations.[1]The medal was awarded to workers, farmers and employees in recognition of their lifelong labour on reaching the seniority required for a long-service pension or retirement age.[4]Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR number 5822-IX of June 8, 1977[3]added the rank and file and the officers of theMinistry of Internal Affairsas potential recipients under the same award criteria as the labourers mentioned in the August 12, 1983 decree.[4]

Recommendations for award were made jointly by administrators of Party and trade union organizations, enterprises, institutions and organizations based on nominations from working groups or workforce councils. The list of potential recipients was then forwarded to municipal, district, or Party and government bodies for final approval.[5]In the case of members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the list of nominations was forwarded to the Minister of Internal Affairs for final approval.[3]

Award ceremonies of the Medal \"Veteran of Labour\" usually took place in the work place of the recipients and were made on behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Union or of Autonomous Republics, the executive committees of regional and provincial Soviets, Moscow Soviet, Leningrad Soviet, or of the city Soviets of People\'s Deputies of the capitals of Soviet republics.[1]

The Medal \"Veteran of Labour\" was worn on the left side of the chest and in the presence of other medals of the USSR, immediately after theMedal \"For Valiant Labour in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945\".[1]If worn in the presence of awards of theRussian Federation, the latter have precedence.[6]Each medal came with an attestation of award, this attestation came in the form of a small 8cm by 11cm cardboard booklet bearing the award\'s name, the recipient\'s particulars and an official stamp and signature on the inside.[1]

Medal description[edit]

The Medal \"Veteran of Labour\" was designed by artist SA Pomansky. It was a 34mm in diameter circular medal struck fromtombacand then silver plated and oxidised. Theobverseof the medal bears the relief image of the hammer and sickle over the inscription \"USSR\" (Russian:«СССР») with diverging rays, a laurel branch spans the width of the obverse from right to left passing under the sickle\'s handle in an upward curve, along the lower and right circumference, a ribbon bearing the relief inscription \"VETERAN OF LABOUR\" (Russian:«ВЕТЕРАН ТРУДА»). The otherwise plain reverse bears the inscription on four lines \"FOR LONG DILIGENT WORK\" (Russian:«ЗА ДОЛГОЛЕТНИЙ ДОБРОСОВЕСТНЫЙ ТРУД»).[2]

The Medal \"Veteran of Labour\" was secured by a ring through the medal suspension loop to a standard Soviet pentagonal mount covered by a 24mm wide overlapping silkmoiréribbon with 1mm wide white edge stripes and coloured from left to right by a 7mm wide dark grey stripe, an 8mm wide light grey stripe, and three 2mm wide red stripes separated by two 0.5mm wide white stripes.[2]

Apparently, there is a variation of the medal, being stuck in silver as opposed to tombac, but this has not yet been verified
