Numbering among these were Order of Glory Third Class awards authorized for Soviet operations in support of the Korean War from 1950 to 1953 as well as for the Soviet invasion of Hungary in the fall of 1956. A small number of Order of Glory Third Class awards was also made in connection with armed border clashes with the People's Republic of China in 1969.[2]The order became defunct with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In 1992, the Cross of St. George was revived to serve the same purpose of recognizing enlisted personnel bravery.[3] FEEDBACK: Please don't forget to leave a review.
