Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise

The Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise (Ukrainian: орден князя Ярослава Мудрогo, romanizedorden kniazia Yaroslava Mudroho) is a Ukrainian award. It is awarded for distinguished services to the state and people of the Ukrainian nation in the field of state building, strengthening the international prestige of Ukraine, development of economy, science, education, culture, art, health care, for outstanding charitable, humanistic and public activities. The Order is named for Yaroslav I Vladimirovich (c. 978–1054), better known as Yaroslav the Wise, a Grand Prince of Kyiv 1019–1054. It was instituted on 23 August 1995 by the Ukrainian President, Leonid Kuchma.

Since its founding in 1995, the Order has been the highest order of Ukraine for awarding citizens of Ukraine, foreigners and stateless persons; since 1998, the highest award for citizens of Ukraine is the title of Hero of Ukraine (with the award of the Order of the Golden Star or the Order of the State); for foreigners and stateless persons, the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise continued to be the highest order of Ukraine until the establishment of the Order of Liberty in 2008.

The insignia of the order was designed by sculptor and professor of the National Academy Of Fine Arts And Architecture Valeriy Shvetsov.

The Order is awarded in five classes and has a blue ribbon with a yellow stripe on each edge.

On 23 August 1995, the Decree of the president of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma № 766/95 established the award of the President of Ukraine "Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise" I, II, III, IV and V degree. The Decree also approved the Statute of the award and the description of the badge of the Order of the V degree; was commissioned by the Commission on State Awards of Ukraine under the president of Ukraine on a competitive basis to develop a project and description of the insignia of the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise I, II, III and IV degree.

On 19 June 1998, the Decree of the President of Ukraine № 662/98 approved the description of the insignia of the President of Ukraine "Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise" I, II, III, IV degree; it is determined that the awarding of the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise of the next degree is possible not earlier than 3 years after the awarding of the Order of the previous degree (in the previous Decree – in 5).

On 16 March 2000, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law of Ukraine "State Awards of Ukraine", which established the state award of Ukraine – the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise I, II, III, IV, V degree. It was established that the effect of this law extends to legal relations related to the awarding of persons awarded honors of the president of Ukraine before the entry into force of this Law; recommended to the president of Ukraine to bring his decrees in line with this Law.

The Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise of the I and II degree has the sign of the order and the star of the order. III, IV and V degrees – only the sign of the order.
