The Grand Revolutionary Order of Comrade Lenin, more commonly known as the Order of Lenin, is a national award of the Democratic People's Republic of Erusia and formerly of the Democratic People's Republic of Bzan. Originally established as a national decoration second only to that of Hero of the People's Republic, the award was first used by Bzan to commend citizens and military personnel for exemplery performance in the defence of Bzan, the furthering of the Revolution and for exceptional State service. In Bzan the award was offered in two distinct classes, 2nd Class and 1st Class. Only one individual - Robert Lethler - was ever awared the 1st Class medal. When the award was transferred to Erusia, it was expanded into a five-class award that could be awarded to individuals and organisations alike. Non-Erusian citizens and organisations may also be granted any level of the award. Those who were awarded the original medal in Bzan had their medal transferred over to the Erusian system.

It is also worth noting that those who received the award Friends of the People's Republic in Bzan became members of the Order of Lenin, 5th Class by default. Likewise, those who received the award Hero of the People's Republic had their medal transferred to the Order of Lenin, 3rd Class. Finally, the award may be bestowed upon individuals after their death or retirement and on institutions after their dissolving.

  • For faithful service to the Motherland.
  • For faithful service to the Revolution.
  • For faithful service to the People.
  • For faithful service to the Proletariat.
  • For a notable achievement in the fields of social, political, cultural, technological, military, scientific or economic development.
