The Ural Automobile Plant team was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky. Decree No. 59 of the President of the Russian Federation was signed on February 6, 2026.
"For their services to the development of the automotive industry and many years of conscientious work, the team of the Ural Automobile Plant, Chelyabinsk Region, is awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky," the document states.
For reference:
The Order of Alexander Nevsky occupies a unique place in the Russian awards system: it is the only modern award that, having undergone changes, existed in both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
The order was first established on June 1, 1725, by Empress Catherine I. At that time, it was awarded to specific individuals and served as a sign of special trust on the part of the monarch.
After the October Revolution, the previous award criteria ceased to be valid. However, at the height of the Great Patriotic War, in 1942, the Order of Alexander Nevsky was established in the USSR. It was awarded to the Red Army command staff for outstanding achievements in organizing and conducting combat operations.
In modern Russia, the updated statute of the order was approved by decree of President Dmitry Medvedev in 2010.
