Back in February 1722, in connection with the celebration of the Peace of Nystadt, Peter 1 intended to establish an order as a reward solely for military merits. This becomes clear from the surviving records of that time, which mention the development of a new order - St. Alexander, at the same time the first 40 signs of this award and the red ribbon were made. The death of the emperor prevented the implementation of the plan. The first awards began only in May 1725, but the date of the establishment of the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky is considered to be August 30, 1725, the day of St. Alexander Nevsky, when Empress Catherine I took on the insignia of this order. Together with her, another 22 people received the award, almost all of them were already cavaliers of the hordes.
Saint Andrew the First-Called.
