House . Its motto is “ Praemiando incitat ” (“ encourages by rewarding ”). After the 1917 Revolution and the execution of the last Russian Emperor and the Order ’ s last Grand Meister , Nicholas II , it fell into oblivion . The Order has , however , risen from the ashes , like Phoenix , after the Soviet Union ’ s collapse . Historically , after the February Revolution of 1917 , the Provisional Government kept the old Order insignia almost intact , only removing the imperial crowns . In the early 20th century , the order counted three special insignia (“ degrees ”) which were awarded for both military and civil achievements . Its different “ degrees ” are distinguished by sash combinations , bearing various cross widths , sizes and a star worn in a certain way depending on the occasion .
Nowadays , it is an international charity organization , patronized by the Elite Club World and counting some 2500 members !
The annual Dedication Ceremony was held on December 4 , 2021 at the Sacré-Cœur Church on the French Riviera . Traditionnally , the members were belted by the sword and awarded a golden order of the 3rd degree .
For a bit of history , the outstanding Russian poet and Lieutenant of the Tenga Infantry Regiment , Mikhail Lermontov , was actually once awarded the St . Stanislav Order of the 3rd degree . It recognized his courage at the battle of Valerik on July 11 , 1840 , during the Chechen campaign of General Apollon Galafeev , one of the major episodes of the 1817 – 64 Caucasian War .
