The Marshal's Star is a state honorary badge of special distinction for military personnel in the USSR and later in Russia. The badge was established by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on September 2, 1940. Marshal's stars were awarded to persons holding the military ranks of Marshal of the Soviet Union, and since 1955 — Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union. In 1943, the marshal's star was established, conventionally called the "small" type star, intended for awarding marshals of the armed forces, since 1962 to admirals of the fleet, and since 1974 to generals of the army. The Marshal's star was a five-pointed star made of gold and platinum, decorated with diamonds; the stars of the large and small types differed in size and the presence of diamonds between the rays. The badge was worn in full dress under the collar of the uniform, and since 1955 — on the knot of the tie.
