People's Artist of Russia

People's Artist of Russia, also sometimes translated as National Artist of Russia, is an honorary title granted to citizens of Russia.

It succeeded both the all-Soviet union award People's Artist of the USSR (Народный артист СССР), and more directly the local republic award, People's Artist of the RSFSR (Народный артист РСФСР), after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

There are today two levels of award:

People's...: (Народный)^[1]

Categories: Architect · teacher · artist

Honored... (Заслуженный - also translated as Merited or Meritous)^[2]

Categories: Agronomist · architect · teacher · chemist · artist · miner · veterinarian · military pilot · military expert · military navigator · doctor · geologist · artist · scientist · land surveyor · livestock · inventor · designer · forester · test pilot · mechanician · metallurgist · meteorologist · border guard · community services worker · Foreign Service employee · health worker · cultural worker · forestry worker · oil and gas industry worker · employee of the food industry · employee of the aerospace industry · etc.etc.

Receiving the Honored... (Заслуженный) award, leaves one eligible to receive the People's... (Народный) award later. For example the light entertainment singer Sergei Georgievich Zakharov was awarded Honored Artist of the RSFSR (Заслуженный артист РСФСР) in 1988, then People's Artist of Russia (Народный артист России) in 1996.
