Lenin Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lenin Prize (Russian: Ленинская премия) was one of the highest awards in the Soviet Union. It was created on June 23, 1925 and was awarded until 1934. In the period from 1935 to 1956, the Lenin Prize was not awarded. On August 15, 1956 it was reestablished, and continued to be awarded on every even year until 1990, on April 22 (V.I. Lenin's birthday), to individuals in the fields of science, literature, arts, architecture, and technology.
The Lenin Prize is different from the Lenin Peace Prize, which was awarded to foreign citizens rather than to citizens of the Soviet Union, for their contributions to the "peace cause." Also, the Lenin prize should not be confused with the USSR State Prize or the Stalin Prize. Some persons were awarded both the Lenin Prize and the USSR State Prize.
