James Bond himself has received the Order in the movie A View to a Kill. It was awarded by General Gogol, for saving the Russian microchip industry, which was going to be destroyed by the main villain Max Zorin. In the movie, Bond was told he is the first non-Soviet citizen to receive the award, though this is not historically accurate.
