Thanks Dima,

Here is, I think, a better pic.

Any idea from where is this Order of Peter the Great?

Ch.

[Christophe]

Here is the Order of Peter the Great.

"The Order of Peter the Great was established by the Academy of Security, Defense, Law and Order. It is the highest civic reward in the Russian Federation, which is granted on the basis of unselfish deeds, valor, courage and heroism that is displayed while fulfilling a military, official or civic duty.

This medal constitutes an eight-pointed golden star, which is then circled with a laurel wreath and semi-precious stones. On the back side is inscribed "For strengthening Russia" and "The Academy of Security of Law and Order".

Previous figures to have been awarded this Order include the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow and Russia, Alexiy II, UN General Secretary Kofi Annan, Russia's first President Boris Yeltsin, Nobel Prize winner Zhores Alfyorov and the first woman astronaut Valentina Tereshkova.

The Academy of Security, Defense, Law and Order is a scientific center that unites the initiatives of all state institutions working in this area. The Academy?s activities have been supported by the Russian Federation's Security Council, as well as the President?s envoys to Russia?s federal districts. "

It is not exactly an "official" governmental award, hence the fact it is not mentioned in "official references.
