Line 1: {{about\|the band\|the football club\|[[Kaizer Chiefs Football Club]]}} The title of '''Hero of Ukraine''' ({{lang-ua\|Герой України}}, {{lang-ru\|Герой Украины}}, pronounced ''Heroy Ukrayiny'') is the highest title of distinction that can be presented by the state of [[Ukraine]]. Created in [[1998]], it is awarded in two grades; one for heroism and other for great service in [[labor]]. These heroes are given special benefits, which are kept until the hero passes away. Similar decorations presented by other former [[Soviet republics]] to this title are the [[Russia]]'s [[Hero of the Russian Federation]] and [[Belarus]]'s [[Hero of Belarus]]. Various political, military and labor leading figures, writers, atheletes and ordinary citizens were awarded with either grade of the title. {{Infobox_band \| ~~== Creation ==~~ band_name = KAISER CHIEFS \| ~~[[Image:Hero of the Soviet Union medal.png\|40px\|right\|Hero of the Soviet Union medal]] [[Image:Hero of Socialist Labor medal.png\|40px\|right\|Hero of Socialist Labor medal]]~~ image = [[Image:Chiefs12.jpeg\|200px]] \| ~~The title was created on [[23 August]] [[1998]] with a decree issued by [[President of Ukraine]] [[Leonid Kuchma]].~~ years_active = [[2003]]–present \| origin = [[Leeds]], [[England]] \| music_genre = [[Post punk]] \| record_label = [[Polydor]]<br>[[B-Unique Records\|B-Unique]] \| current_members = [[Ricky Wilson]]<br />[[Andrew White]]<br />[[Simon Rix]]<br />[[Nick Baines]]<br />[[Nick Hodgson]] \| }} '''Kaiser Chiefs''' are a [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[post punk]]/[[art rock]] band from [[Leeds]], formed early in [[2003]]. The band's explosion onto the global music scene in early [[2005]] was epitomised when they opened the [[Philadelphia]] [[Live 8]] concert. While the decree, numbered #944/98, created the title "The Hero of Ukraine, award of the President of Ukraine," this decree established that there are ''two grades'' of the award. The first grade is called "The Order of the Gold Star," which is awarded for acts of heroism performed by the recipient. The second grade is called "The Order of the State," which is awarded for great achievements in labor. ==Line-Up== The two tier system may have been influenced by the two titles issued by the [[Soviet Union]], which the Ukraine was part of until [[1991]]: [[Hero of the Soviet Union]] and [[Hero of Socialist Labor]]. Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded for acts of heroism while Hero of Socialist Labor was awarded for great achievements in labor. The band consists of:- '''[[Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs)\|Ricky Wilson]]''' - [[vocals]] '''[[Andrew White]]''' - [[electric guitar\|guitar]] '''[[Simon Rix]]''' - [[bass guitar\|bass]] '''[[Nick Baines\|Nick 'Peanut' Baines]]''' - [[electronic keyboard\|keyboards]], [[synthesizer\|synthesizers]] '''[[Nick Hodgson]]''' - [[drums]] {{TOCleft}} ~~== Regulations ==~~ ~~[[Image:Ukraine.LeonidKuchma.01.jpg\|thumb\|[[Leonid Kuchma]]]]~~ While President Kuchma was creating the title of Hero of Ukraine, Kuchma also began to issue regulations on how to award someone the title and how it is worn. Only the [[President of Ukraine]] has the power to confer the title, based on recommendation of various government officials, which is comfirmed by a secret ballot. This statute also allows for the [[Government of Ukraine]] to provide the hero with benefits and priveleges, all of which the hero can use until they pass away. New regulations were issued in [[2002]], also issued by Kuchma, and those regulations are currently in force. {{ref\|Rada}} ==History== The first article of the decree layed out the general guidelines of the award itself. The Hero of Ukraine, as stated in Chapter 1, that the title, in full called The Hero of Ukraine, was created for ''"awarding citizens of Ukraine for their personal heroism and great labor achievements."'' The hero title is one of many awards that are awarded by the President of the Ukraine and it can only be awarded by a decree by the president. This article also declares the two grades mentioned above and for what reasons they should be awarded for. However, Chapter 5 only allows for a person to receive either grade only once, but is eligable to receive the other order. This means that a holder of the Order of the State performs a heroic action, they can be presented with the other grade, Order of the Gold Star. And if a holder of the Order of the Gold Star performs a great deed in the labor force, they can be eligible to receive the Order of the Nation. Either grade can be presented [[posthumous\|posthumously]] and a hero cannot have their title deprived, or taken away from them. Prior to 2003 the members of the band had been a [[garage rock]] band called '''Parva''' (before that having been known as '''Runston Parva'''). However, after being dropped by their label, the band made a conscious decision to adopt a more typical [[britpop]] sound, helping the band reach their current popularity within the UK and beyond as a consequence. On [[18 February]], [[2005]] they were the opening act at the [[NME]] Awards show and won the Philip Hall Radar Award. ~~== Procedure ==~~ In order for a person to be awarded either grade, a recommendation must be made to the president by either Speaker of the [[Verkhovna Rada]] ([[parliament]] of Ukraine), the [[Prime Minister of Ukraine]], [[Attorney General]] of Ukraine, Chairman of the [[Constitutional Court of Ukraine]], Chairman of the [[Supreme Court of Ukraine]], Ministers, and Heads of other central executive bodies, the government of the [[Autonomous Republic]] of the [[Crimea]], regional administrations or the [[Kiev]] and [[Sevastopol]] city administrations. If the title is going to be confered to a member of the Ukrainian military, security services, national and border guards and civil defense services needed to be recommended by one of the following ministries: the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, the Ministry of Home Affairs of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, the National Border Guards Committee of Ukraine, the Ministry of Extraordinary Situations and Protection of the Population from Aftermath of the [[Chernobyl]] Catastrophe. {{ref\|Decree}} The recommendations are then sent to the President, along with a package detailing the person's deeds and other recommendations. If the President agrees with the recommendation, he will issue a decree to that effect. {{ref\|Awarding}} The President will award the person a medal, a miniture badge and also a certificate at the Presidential Palace in Kiev. The band re-released the single 'Oh My God' on [[21st February]], which charted at #6. The debut album ''[[Employment (album)\|Employment]]'' was released on [[7th March]] [[2005]] and entered the charts at #3 that week. Despite becoming favourite after being shortlisted, the album failed to win the [[2005]] [[Mercury Music Prize]]. ~~== Display ==~~ ~~[[Image:Hero of Ukraine ribbon bar.png\|right\|Ribbon bar]]~~ The medal is always worn on the right [[breast]] above any other Ukrainian decoration. If a person has been awarded both the Order of the Gold Star and Order of the State, both are worn side by side. However, the Order of the Gold Star is worn first. A copy of the medal, made out of non-precious metals, can be presented to the hero for daily wear, called the "wearer's copy." If the use of the medal is not permitted, a ribbon bar (top, right) is worn above all decorations or ribbons. A DVD release, entitled ''Enjoyment'', is due for release late November and will features all the promo videos, live performances and more. ~~== Construction ==~~ Presidental decrees have created designs of both medals, though each are similiar in design. Both use the blue and yellow ribbon, which is in the same shade and patter that is used on the [[Flag of Ukraine]]. Below the ribbon is a suspension device, with connects the ribbon with the medallion, made out of gold. On the back of both medals, the name of the Order and a serial number is inscribed. {{ref\|medal}} An internet-only (so far) music video for their song "Sink that ship" has been released in September 2005. The video appears on Electronic Arts website as a promotional tool for their game Burnout Revenge but is completely unbranded. ~~=== Order of the Gold Star ===~~ On the suspension device, the [[Coat of arms of Ukraine\|Coat of Arms of Ukraine]] is present. Below the arms, is a star medallion with the width of 35 [[mm]] from one end to the other. The star, which is pentagonal shaped and polished, is super-imposed on a wreath of [[oak]] leaves. Inside the star, there are two smaller stars etched inside. The size of the ribbon (boot tree) is 45 mm long, with the width being 28 mm. Each color of the ribbon bar is 45 mm long, but the width is half of the total width, or 14 mm. The miniature badge has the same design as the ribbon, but the total measurements are only 28 by 12 mm. And the ribbon bar is made out of a metallic plate. {{ref\|GoldStar}} ==Performances== ~~=== Order of the State ===~~ Kaiser Chiefs were the opening act at the [[Philadelphia]] [[Live 8]] concert on [[2 July]] [[2005]], one of only two British acts in the lineup ([[Def Leppard]] being the other). They performed [[I Predict a Riot]], [[Everyday I Love You Less and Less]] and [[Oh My God]]. [[June]] 2005 saw them headline at the [[May Ball]] at [[Queens' College, Cambridge]], before [[August]]'s appearance at the [[V Festival]] where they performed a very enthusiastic set despite Ricky Wilson having his leg in plaster. Also more recently they embarked on the UK [[NME]] Rock n Roll Riot Tour, supported by [[Maximo Park]] and [[The Cribs]]. The group also received a lot of attention by playing a few shows on the [[Foozer]] tour. The Order of the State has similar aspects as the Order of the Gold Star, such as the same ribbon bar and same size for the minature medal. However, instead of having the gold star on top of the oak leaves, the [[trident]] of [[Vladimir I of Kiev\|Prince Volodymyr]] is used . The size of the medallion is 35 mm high and 36 mm wide. {{ref\|State}} ==Influences== ~~=== Wearer's copy ===~~ Influences include: This is the medal those who been awarded either grade wears in public, also known as the wearer's copy. The design of the medal is a modification of the Hero of Socialist Labor medal. The red ribbon was replaced by the blue and yellow ribbon used on the two grades of the hero title and the [[hammer and sickle]] that was on the Hero of Socialist Labor has been removed. This medal is made out of non-precious metals and it is worn on the left breast, unlike the other medals. {{ref\|AP}} [[The Pooh Sticks]] [[New Order]] [[The Membranes]], [[I Ludicrous]], [[Cud]], [[The_Railway_Children_(band)\|The Railway Children]], [[The Pastels]], [[The Family Cat]], [[Lush]], [[Bridewell Taxis]], [[King of the Slums]], [[McCarthy_(band)\|McCarthy]], [[Blur]], [[Pulp]], [[Pale Saints]], [[Half Man Half Biscuit]], [[Small Faces]], [[Brilliant_Corners%2C_The\|The Brilliant Corners]], and [[Madness]].

Lobanovsky died [[May 13]] [[2002]] on the operating table to treat an ''"acute abnormality of circulation of the blood in the brain, against the background of hypertensive crisis" '' after he passed out during the football game of his team.
