The State Prize of the Russian Federation ((ロシア語:Государственная Премия Российской Федерации); official translation in Russia: Russian Federation National Award) is a state honorary prize established in 1992 as the successor for the USSR State Prize following the breakup of the Soviet Union. In 2004 the rules for selection of laureates and the status of the award were significantly changed making them closer to such awards as the Nobel Prize or the Soviet Lenin Prize 〔(Order of President of Russian Federation N785 on reform of state awards ) 21 June 2004〕 Every year seven prizes are awarded: * Three prizes in science and technology (according to newspaper Kommersant there was a fourth 2008 State Prize for Science and Technology awarded by a special decree of President Dmitri Medvedev but the name of the winner is kept secret because of the confidential character of the work 〔); * Three prizes in literature and the arts; * One prize for humanitarian work (established in 2005 〔(Президент России )〕). Only three prizes for humanitarian work have been awarded so far: to Patriarch Alexius II of the Russian Orthodox Church (2005),〔 to Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (2006)〔 and to French President Jacques Chirac (2007).〔 The award consists of a cash prize amounting to 5 million Russian rubles (approximately $200,000), a medal and a certificate. If a number of coauthors equally contributed to a prize-winning work the prize is divided among no more than three authors.〔 The prize is usually presented by the President of Russia in a ceremony held in the Kremlin. ==Medal== The medal for the State Prize was developed by the artist Yevgeny Ukhnalyov (Евгений Ухналёв). The design is based on the Coat of arms of Russia. It shows a gold double-headed eagle with a scepter and a Globus cruciger with a red shield showing St. George with the dragon. The eagle is crowned by two small and one large crown and put on a silver wreath consisted of palm and laurel branches joined by a red ribbon. The design was adopted in 2005.〔(Soviet Heraldry ) 〕 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「State Prize of the Russian Federation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
