You often see that ribbon on the men in the Russian Military, Militias and Musicians.
The ribbon dates back to 1769, when Russian empress Catherine the Great established the Order of St. George. The medal was attached to a ribbon of black and yellow -- later orange. In 1945, the Soviet Union resurrected the orange-and-black for a medal to celebrate victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
