	PGSA - Polish Orders of Chivalry
		The Order of the White Eagle came in a single class and was awarded for exceptional merit to the Polish Commonwealth.
		The Order of Military Virtue was revived by the Polish Republic in 1919, not as an order of chivalry but as the nation's highest gallantry award bestowed "for extreme courage on the field of battle".
		The Order of Polonia Restituta (Poland Restored) was established on the 4 February 1921, not as a chivalric order but as an award for outstanding service in the field of Art, Science, Literature, Improvement of Industry, Agriculture, Commerce; and for Acts of Civil Bravery.

	StS - A Formidable Force For Polish Culture
		The Order was not re-constituted after World War I, when Poland regained her independence; instead the Order of Polonia Restituta superseded it.
		To establish the Order in the Poland of 1979 was incompatible to the Polish Republic because of Polonia Restituta, and would appear a provocation to the Soviets, given the Russian corruption noted above.
		Although fairly unknown outside of the Polish community, the Order of Saint Stanislas numbers thousands of Companions spread throughout the world, made up of honorable men and women of all races and creeds, a true brotherhood of man. It is recognised as a charitable Order concerned with raising the standard of living in East Europe.

		The order of St. Vladimir, fourth class, can be seen as the solitary decoration worn by Czar Nicholas II in the photos taken of him during his final days of captivity before he and his family were executed.

		I mentioned the Order of Polonia Restituta, held by some Templar members, but distributed by an individual who pretends he was President of the Polish Government in exile.
		The Order of Polonia Restituta was a great honor for Poles who bravely served their country and to see this honor brought down by being distributed to all kinds of people who had done nothing whatsoever for Poland, a grave insult to the memory of those who had earned it.
		It was the Permanent Observer to the UN of the Republic of Italy who proposed that the Sovereign Military Order of Malta be accorded the same Observer status accorded to the IRC.

		The Order of St Stanislas was founded by Stanislas Augustus Poniatowski, last king of Poland (1764-1795) in 1765 on the eve of the Feast of St Stanislas, Bishop, Martyr and Patron Saint of Poland.
		The Order was suspended from a poppy-red sash with white borders and was worn from the right shoulder to the left hip, but Knights who also had the Order of the White Eagle wore the insignia suspended from a cravat around the neck.
		The Order of St Stanislas remained in the hands of the Russian Czars until 1917 and was lavishly bestowed on both Russians and foreigners.

		As a Russian Order, a fl, double-headed imperial eagle with outstreached wings was added behind the red and white enameled cross with the white enameled eagle.
		The Order of St. Stanislas had been a native Polish Order, but had been so thoroughly associated with Russia -- the Russians awarded it generously -- that simply reviving it was unacceptable.
		Instead, the new Order Polonia Restitua was created, but using the same ribbon as the old St. Stanislas order (red with white side stripes) to carry on the tradition.

		This Order was also looked upon with disdain by the Polish nobility who shortly after passed several resolutions in the Diet (Parliament of Nobles) restricting honours associated with this award.
		During the dark days of communist suppression this Order was once again held in abeyance in favour of the communist decoration "Orden Budowniczych Polski Ludowei", (The Order of the Construction of the Polish Peoples Republic).
		The Order of Saint Stanislas by this time in history had become a powerful lobby group in the fight against communism and as well had established a network of trustworthy contacts throughout Eastern Europe which would no doubt serve as a means of distributing aid to those most in need.

		I find this order to be fairly attractive, even in its Communist incarnation, although the quality of both enamel and metal suffered then and in modern post-Communist Poland.
		I recently got a cased pre-war piece in the grade of Commander, so I thought I would post it for those who are interested in Polish medals.
