History

Initiatives to establish an honorary title for Russian cities, whose inhabitants performed a labor feat during the years of the war were repeatedly put forward by Russian public and political figures. In 2009, the non-profit partnership Interstate Union of Hero Cities established the public honorary international title "City of Labor Valor and Glory" and approved the provision on this title. [7] This public title was awarded by the non-profit partnership to a number of cities. [8] Draft federal laws were introduced to the State Duma at one point by deputies of such as Valentin Varennikov and Valery Vostrotin, [9] members of the Federation Council [10] [11] and even at the local level by members of the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk Region. [12] In 2017, the initiative to establish the honorary title “City of Labor Glory” was submitted and published on the portal Russian Public Initiative. [13] In the first half of 2019, the State Duma and the State Council of the Udmurt Republic introduced the draft federal law for the award that was submitted in 14 December to President Vladimir Putin. [14] In July 2020, the title “City of Labor Valor” was awarded to 20 cities of the Russian Federation: Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Samara, Perm, Nizhny Tagil, Saratov, Omsk, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Borovichi, Ivanovo, Izhevsk, Irkutsk, Magnitogorsk, Novokuznetsk, Tomsk, Ulyanovsk, Ufa and Yaroslavl. [15] It was amended again in May 2021: Barnaul, Kamensk-Uralsky, Kirov, Kolomna, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Krasnoyarsk, Magadan, Penza, Rybinsk, Severodvinsk, Tyumen and Cheboksary. [16]
