(P1683) "The award was established on 16 April 1934, by the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union.[2] The first recipients of the title originally received only the Order of Lenin, the highest Soviet award, along with a certificate (грамота, gramota) describing the heroic deed from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Because the Order of Lenin could be awarded for deeds not qualifying for the title of hero, and to distinguish heroes from other Order of Lenin holders, the Gold Star medal was introduced on 1 August 1939.[3] Earlier heroes were retroactively eligible for these items.[citation needed] / A hero could be awarded the title again for a subsequent heroic feat with an additional Gold Star medal and certificate.[4] The practice of awarding additional Orders of Lenin when the title was awarded multiple times was abolished by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in 1988 during perestroika.[4] [...]The title was also awarded posthumously,[6] though often without the actual Gold Star medal presented."
