On December 28, 1920 the Russian SFSR established the Order of the Red Banner of Labour, as the civilian counterpart of the military Order of the Red Banner; the all-Soviet equivalent dates from September 7, 1928.
The order consisted of a silver badge shaped as a cogwheel, bearing the motto Proletarians (Workers) of the World, Unite!. The central disc had the golden Hammer and Sickle emblem in front of a dam scene with blue enamel below depicting water, surrounded by two golden panicles of wheat. Above it was a Red Flag bearing the Russian letters "CCCP" (for USSR). At the bottom was a red star flanked by golden panicles of wheat.
The badge was worn on the left chest, originally without ribbon, later with a light blue ribbon bearing a dark blue stripe on the edges.
