Arguments on the Topic of Deprivation of State Awards and Cancellation of the Award Decision

Abstract

The article is devoted to the understanding of the stages of the Russian award process concerning the deprivation of state awards (state awards and awards of state bodies), as well as the cancellation of the award decision in case of establishing the unreliability of the information contained in the documents submitted to represent the person for the award. The issues of the use in the award legislation of the concepts of "cancellation of the award decision" and "deprivation of the award" are considered through the prism of the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as with regard to the requirements of the Regulations on State Awards of the Russian Federation approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated September 7, 2010 No. 1099, and some acts of the Government of the Russian Federation. The problems of using these concepts in the award legislation of the subjects of the Russian Federation are outlined. In conclusion, proposals are formulated to eliminate the detected shortcomings, which will preserve the authority of the awards of the state at a high level.
