The individuals listed below were recipients of the Order of the Red Banner of Labour. The first recipient of the Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR was Nikita Menchukov for saving an important bridge from being destroyed by flowing ice. Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the USSR number 1 was presented to the
Putilov (later Kirov) Works in
Leningrad. The first individual awardees were V. Fedetov, A. Shelagin and M. Kyatkovsky for the rescue of a polar expedition.
Mikhail Gorbachev received the Order of the Red Banner of Labour for harvesting a record crop on his family's
collective farm in 1949 at age 17, an honour which was very rare for someone so young. He is one of the Order's youngest recipients.
