The Russian Federation honorary title City of Military Glory can be conferred on cities and towns for the courage, steadfastness and mass heroism displayed by their defenders in the struggle for Russia’s freedom and independence.

The honorary title City of Military Glory was established by the Federal Law of May 9, 2006.
