City of Military Glory ((ロシア語:«Город воинской славы»)) is an honorary title bestowed upon the citizenry of Russian cities, where soldiers had displayed courage and heroism during the Second World War. The award, which to date has been bestowed upon 40 cities, is similar to the Hero City title awarded during the Soviet-era, and no city has yet received both awards.〔〔 == Creation == After being accepted by the State Duma on April 14, 2006, and approved by the Federation Council on April 26, 2006, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed into law the federal law ''On the Honorary Title of the Russian Federation “City of Military Glory”'' on May 9, 2006.〔 〕 On the eve of Victory Day in 2009, at the ceremony conferring ''“City of Military Glory”'' status upon Vyazma, Kronstadt and Naro-Fominsk at the Moscow Kremlin, President Dmitry Medvedev stated: Cities which have had the status conferred upon them have a monument erected which shows the city’s coat of arms along with the text from the Presidential ukaz, and on Defender of the Fatherland Day, Victory Day and the city's day, public commemorations and celebratory salutes take place.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City of Military Glory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
