Kuibyshev Hydroelectric Complex Construction Badge from the year 1957.

There is a pin back and screwback variation of this badge. Badge was made by Moscow mint (MMD).

The construction of the Hydroelectric Complex started in 1937 (there is another badge from this year) and was finished in 1950´s.
Like all of these projects, they were build with prisoners. Badge was awarded to engeneers, manager and prison guards of the project.

best regards
Andreas

Possible that this is a photo of Kuibyshev

Thank you Alfred.

I assume it is authentic.

Does anyone know how common this badge is?
