Honorary titles of Russia
Honorary titles of Russian Federation are titles given to people of the Russia for their professional and other achievements.
In the Soviet Union it was developed a system of professional honorary titles for the USSR as a whole, Union republics and Autonomous republics republics, and also in some other Eastern bloc states (and communist states in general), as well as in a number of post-Soviet states, modeled after. The most of this system have been retained in the Russian Federation and consists of the following ones:
- National Artist of Russian Federation (also translated as "People's Artist") — compare People's Artist of the USSR
This term is confusing in English language, because in Russian language this translation corresponds to two different titles: "Narodny Artist" and "Narodny Khudoznik".
"Artist" in Russian means Actor, but historically "Narodny Artist" has been translated as "People's Artist". At the same time, "People's Actor" is not literally correct either, because this title is also applicable, e.g., to musicians and screenwriters, i.e., to the people working in performing arts.
"Khudozhnik", while literally meaning "Painter", is aplicable to other kinds of artists of visual arts
