St. George's ribbon

St. George's ribbon is a bicolor (two-color) of orange and black colors. It traces its history from the ribbon to the soldier’s order of St. George the Victorious, established on November 26, 1769 by Empress Catherine II. This tape, with minor changes, entered the award system of the USSR as the "Guards ribbon" - a sign of special distinction of a soldier. It is covered with a shoe of a very honorable "soldier" order of glory.
Black means smoke and orange means flame.
