The P. A. Stolypin Medal (Russian: Медаль Столыпина П. А., romanized: Medal Stolypina P. A.) is an award of the Government of the Russian Federation. It was established on 26 May 2008 by Decree No. 388 of the Government of the Russian Federation, "On the P.A. Stolypin Medal."[1] The medal is awarded in two classes, the first and the second.[2]
The medal is awarded for "achievements in addressing strategic socioeconomic development objectives, including the implementation of long-term projects of the Government of the Russian Federation in industry, agriculture, construction, transport, science, education, healthcare, culture, and other areas."[2] Eligible individuals must have at least 10 years of public service or at least 15 years of professional experience.[3] It is named for Pyotr Stolypin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers between 1906 and 1911.[3]
The regulations were amended on 25 December 2019; establishing that the first-class medal could be awarded to recipients who had not previously received the second-class medal.[4] They were again amended on 30 June 2020; establishing that nominations for the medal are submitted by government ministers, heads of federal government agencies, and senior officials of the federal subjects of Russia, and to allow its award to citizens who have received government letters of commendation and honorary diplomas.[3] The medal is awarded by the Prime Minister of Russia, or by other high-ranking officials as they direct.[3]
