Abstract
The article reveals very important ceremonial aspects of the existence of the Red Banner of Combat during the great Patriotic war. The author investigates the ceremonial procedure of awarding military units the banner, starting with carrying out the banner to carrying it away. The study bases on the analysis and systematization of the data from the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, as well as of special historiographical works. Having analyzed the archival sources and historiography, the author comes to the conclusion that the order of presentation of the banner is clearly defined: from the number of steps to the procedure of kneeling down to the banner. But there were certain deviations, the nature of which the author has not yet disclosed.
