Order of St. Stanislas
also: Станислав второй степени со звездой, St. Stanislas, second class with star
An Imperial Russian order of merit (adopted from the Polish order of the same name) awarded in several classes; in "Ward No. 6" the ward's fifth patient, a former post-office sorter, has the delusion that he has been put up for its second class with star, an honor in reality reserved for foreigners.
