The Law of 7 June, 2002 “On Awards of the Taymyr (Dolgano-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug” established the badge “Honorary Citizen of Taimyr”. The respective title appeared earlier, in 1990.
Among the people who have been awarded the badge are many representatives of the indigenous peoples of the Taimyr: writers and poets, artists, reindeer herders and fishermen, teachers.
The badge is in the form of a yellow alloy medal with a convex rim on both sides. The inscription on the front and the image of a red-breasted goose in the center are embossed, the reverse side is matted. The badge comes with a rectangular suspension device, covered with red moiré ribbon, with a pin for attaching to clothing.
Since 2002, the badge has been awarded for many years of professional work for the benefit of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug, aimed at strengthening peace, maintaining traditions, indigenous culture, environmental development, economy, healthcare, science and other spheres of life. Thanks to the people whose work deserves this honorary award, the okrug is constantly developing as a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
The image of the red-breasted goose in the center of the medal is symbolic. This bird is a symbol of Taimyr, a rare species listed in the Red Book, which speaks by its very existence of the rich cultural heritage of the peninsula, its unique flora and fauna. The motif of the flight suggests an unstoppable movement towards progress. It is no coincidence that the chosen direction of the flight is from left to right. It is reminiscent of the historical path of development of Taimyr — from west to east. The starting point was Mangazeya, the first Russian town founded in the northern part of Western Siberia. In the first half of the 17th century, it served as a base for moving deeper into Siberia along the Taz and Yenisey Rivers and on the Arctic Ocean.
Among the oldest inhabitants of Taimyr, who have been awarded the badge of honor, are the artist Nikolay Aleksandrovich Sviridov (born in 1913), reindeer breeder and fisherman Chubo Khitipteevich Kokore (born in 1916), and the veteran of the Great Patriotic War Michael Pavlovich Zyryanov (born in 1919).
