Soviet State Prize was originally introduced in 1967 to replace the Stalin Prize. It was a very prestigious award until the last days of the Soviet Union. State Prize Medals were often awraded for top results in labor and for improvements leading to increased productivity and sometimes to artists and poets. 300 State Prizes were awarded annually.
