The Order of Friendship (Russian: Орден Дружбы) is a state decoration of the Russian Federation established by presidential decree 442 of March 2, 1994.^[1] Two latter decrees amended its award criteria, decree 19 of January 6, 1999^[2] and decree 1099 of September 7, 2010^[3]. It can trace its lineage to the Soviet Order of Friendship of Peoples.

The badge of the Order of Friendship is made of silver, enamelsed and is gilded. It is a pentagonal star created from diverging golden rays. On the obverse at the center of the star is a terrestrial globe, with details covered in colored enamels. The globe is surrounded by a wreath of olive branches covered with green enamel. On the reverse is the inscription "Мир и дружба" ("Peace and Friendship") and the number of the individual award. The distance between opposite tips of the star is 44 mm.^[4]

The badge of the order is connected by a loop and a ring to a pentagonal mount with a ribbon of silk moiré of light blue with green stripes along its edges. The width of the ribbon is 24 mm, the width of the stripes is 6 mm.^[4]
