Putin allowed bronze busts of Heroes of Russia and Heroes of Labor to be erected at the place of residence Russia and the Heroes of Labor, not only in their small homeland, but also at their place of residence.

The rules for installing bronze busts in the small homeland of heroes developed back in the Soviet years, although then they were awarded only twice to Heroes Soviet Union, twice Hero of Socialist Labor and holders of both titles. The tradition was inherited by Russia for its insignia, but now it has been decided to abandon it.

The award, according to the Kremlin press service, is related to the contribution to the preservation and development of spiritual and cultural traditions, the strengthening of peace and harmony between peoples.
In June this year, Putin during the presentation of awards to the laureates of state awards and holders the title of Hero of Labor asked a tractor driver from the Rostov region about his salary. Having learned that the average salary on the collective farm is 24 thousand rubles a month, the head of state responded with the words “not enough, to put it mildly.”
