The Imperial Order of St. Anne is an order established in 1735 as a dynastic award of the Duchy of Holstein—Gottorp and introduced on April 5, 1797 by decree of Emperor Paul I into the award system of the Russian Empire to distinguish clergy, military, civil and court officials, as well as foreigners. The decree contained a provision stating that the Order of St. Anna "was awarded to the All-Russian Empire" when Peter Fedorovich (Pavel Petrovich's father) "was granted His rights to the All-Russian Imperial Throne," that is, from November 7, 1742. The statute of the order was approved in 1829. He had 4 degrees; the lowest, 4th degree was intended to be awarded only for military merit (the most junior officer's order). In terms of seniority, the order stood one step below the Order of St. Vladimir and was the youngest in the hierarchy of orders of the Russian Empire until 1831. Since 1831, the Order of St. Stanislaus was introduced into the hierarchy of imperial and royal orders, which became one step lower than the Order of St. Anne in seniority. Since the establishment of the Order of St. Anne, hundreds of thousands of people have been awarded it.
