These Countries Have Started Feeling Sorry
Seeing the growing friendship between India and Russia, many superpower countries have started feeling jealous, and after Russia gave the highest honour to the Indian PM, America, China, and Ukraine are feeling the saddest. China and Ukraine have also made their words clear. But the question arises whether America and Ukraine will look down upon India over this honour of PM Modi.
What is Russia’s Highest Honor
If we talk about Russia’s highest honour, it was established in 1698 by Tsar Peter the Great. It was established in honour of Saint Andrew, the first apostle of Jesus Christ and the patron saint of Russia. This honour was given only for any category’s most outstanding civilian or military merit. It has been used for ceremonial events in Russia for centuries.
