The Order of Lenin was the highest civilian award of the Soviet Union, but it was discontinued after the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. So, either Putin was being extra-extra symbolic, or CBS News got/reported some bad info. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/putin-award-order-of-lenin-american-ukraine/

@kevinrothrock@infosec.exchange I don’t think the order of Lenin was exclusively civilian (it was often? paired with a Hero of Soviet Union military title)…
