This edition is part of the selection of state gifts that Vladimir Putin presents to his guests, friends, and colleagues. The book “The Imperial Establishment of the Cavalry Orders of Russia” was produced in a limited edition under the order of the Ministry of Defense. Since February 1, 2002, the “Establishment” has been regarded as the main official gift from the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, and only after passing all necessary examinations did it enter the Gift Fund of the head of state.

The gift book "The Imperial Establishment of the Cavalry Orders of Russia" is nearly an exact copy of "The Establishment" by Emperor Paul I, which was published in the late 18th century. The book has been reproduced based on two surviving copies, one of which is housed in the Armory Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin. The original "Establishment" consists of an address from Paul I and thirty-one articles detailing who can become a knight of the Orders and for what merits, as well as descriptions of the Russian Orders of all degrees with illustrations of the order crosses, ribbons, seals, and the robes of the knights of the Order, the treasurer, the herald, court ceremonial procedures, and the incomes of the knights of the Russian order. An additional section has been included with descriptions of Russian orders not mentioned in the original text but established before 1917, along with unique photographs of Russian Imperial orders.

The book was published under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with the blessing of the Patriarch of Russia, Alexy II, and with the support of the State Historical Museum and the Military Memorial Center of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This edition was prepared as part of a program for the authentic reproduction of rare Russian folios. Each copy of the book is handcrafted. The velvet cover of the "Establishment" is embroidered with golden threads depicting the coat of arms of Russia. The book is enhanced by a gilded custodia with a wax seal and is protected by a lacquered case. This book is an official gift from the President of the Russian Federation. All descriptions in the book are provided in two languages – English and Russian.
