In August 1996, during a business trip to the city of Grozny, Alexander's unit served to protect the building of the coordination center. At that time, the militants were forced out into the mountainous regions, but small groups still hunted in the city, mining roads, shelling the positions of Russian troops.

On March 2, 1994, in the Russian Federation, on the basis of a presidential decree, a new state award was approved - the Order of Courage. The Order of Courage can be awarded to citizens of Russia for courage, selflessness and bravery that were shown in the protection of public order, in the fight against crime, saving people during natural disasters, catastrophes, fires and other emergencies, as well as for decisive and courageous actions during performance of military, official or civil duty, which were associated with a risk to life.
At the same time, not only citizens of the Russian Federation, but also foreigners can be awarded the order. Foreign citizens are awarded this order for their courage, dedication and courage in rescuing Russian citizens during fires, catastrophes, natural disasters and in other emergencies occurring outside of Russia. The Order of Courage can be awarded posthumously.
The Order of Courage can be awarded more than once. Today in our country there are three people - Colonel Andrei Volovikov (military pilot), Colonel Sergei Militsky (Department "A" (Alpha) of the FSB of Russia) and Colonel Alexei Novgorodov (police), who are holders of 4 Orders of Courage. In 2011, an important addition was made to the statute of the order by a presidential decree. Since 2011, persons awarded three Orders of Courage, when committing another selfless or courageous act, can be presented to the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.
When developing the order, the militia cross of 1812 was taken as a basis. During the approval of the sketch of the order by the artist E. I. Ukhnalev, a variant with an overlaid double-headed eagle (gilded), large in size, was proposed. But this option was not approved. P. K. Kornakov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, leading specialist of the State Heraldry, took part in the creation of the sketch of the Order of Courage. He, on the basis of the assignment of the Commission for State Awards and the State Heraldry, completed the molding of the order. The author of the idea of the Order of Courage was G. V. Vilinbakhov, the State King of Arms of the Russian Federation. The Order of Courage was made at the Moscow Mint.
The badge of the order is an equilateral cross with rounded ends, embossed rays and a embossed rim around the edge. The distance between the ends of the cross is 40 mm. The award is made of silver. In the center of the cross is the State Emblem of the Russian Federation, the image is made in relief. On the reverse side of the order is a relief inscription: "Courage". This inscription is made in stylized letters horizontally. Also on the reverse side is the order number. With the help of a ring and an eye, the order is attached to a standard pentagonal block. The block is covered with a red silk ribbon, along the edges of which there are white stripes. The width of the moire ribbon is 24 mm, the width of the white stripes is 2 mm.
The first decree on awarding the Order of Courage was signed by Russian President Boris Yeltsin on November 11, 1994. The Orders of Courage were awarded to the deputy commander of the flight detachment V.E. Ostapchuk and the commander of the helicopter V.P. Afanasiev for courage and bravery that were shown in rescuing people from the ship Yakhroma, which was in distress in the Barents Sea. The first mass awarding of the Order of Courage took place on November 25 of the same year. On this day, the President of the Russian Federation signed a decree on awarding 17 servicemen. All of them were awarded for the courage and bravery shown by them in the neutralization of explosive ordnance and demining the area.
The overwhelming number of awards with the Order of Courage falls on fighting in the North Caucasus, on the territory of the Chechen Republic (first and second campaigns). Among those who received this award on the battlefields are the commander of the 58th Army, Lieutenant General V. Shamanov; Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General A. L. Shkirko. In 1995, 39-year-old Colonel V. Selivanov was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. Selivanov was the head of the information group of the intelligence department of the headquarters of the Airborne Forces.

He died in Grozny on January 1, 1995.
On August 22, 1996, by presidential decree, for heroism, courage and steadfastness, the crew of the civil Il-76 aircraft, consisting of 5 people, was awarded the Order of Courage. The crew of the plane was captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan, but managed to escape from captivity.
The Order of Courage in Russia was also awarded to participants in the events of the distant past. So, on May 9, 2004, Soviet sailors, crew members of the K-19 nuclear submarine, which crashed while in the northern part of the Atlantic, in July 1961, were awarded. Then the sailors managed the almost impossible: they managed to save the nuclear-powered ship and shut down the nuclear power plant of the boat, bringing the ship into a safe radiation state.
The youngest Russian citizen who was awarded the Order of Courage is a 7-year-old boy, Zhenya Tabakov. He was presented to the order posthumously. On November 28, 2008, a 2nd grade student died while trying to protect his own 12-year-old sister from a rapist.
The Order of Courage is the most massive award of the Russian Federation. According to rough estimates, as of July 1, 2006, more than 80,000 awards of the Order of Courage were made. It is safe to say that at the moment the number of awards has exceeded 100 thousand.

When developing the draft sketch, the militia cross of 1812 served as the basis. It was the idea of G. Vilinbakhov, the State King of Arms of the Russian Federation. The artist Ukhnalev proposed another option: an overlaid gilded double-headed eagle, which is much larger than the cross. But this proposal was not approved. P. Kornakov, a candidate of historical sciences, took part in the creation of the sketch. He also did the sculpting. Subsequently, the Order of Courage began to be made at the Moscow Mint.
