On April 19, 2022, Moldova banned wearing the black and orange Ribbon of St. George, established in 1769 as the highest military decoration in [[Russian Empire|Czarist]] times, continued in the Soviet era, and reaffirmed in 1998 by Presidential decree signed by Russian Federation [[President Boris Yeltsin]]. The ribbon has come to commemorate veterans of the [[Operation Barbarossa|Eastern Front]] of the [[Second World War]].
