Badge "XXX Years Of The Liberation Of Ukraine".

Pobeda45 · 07-26-2014, 12:52 PM

Hi guys,

Does anyone know anything about these badges--whether they were semi-officially awarded etc? They are massive and very well made; I have two in my collection with slight differences; one is MMD marked.

Design borrows from this table medal by artists Yaromenok and Oleynik:

Side note, this badge shows a map of Ukraine that includes Crimea. This rendition of the Ukrainian map may now be a relic.

Cheers,

George

I've got similar ones buried somewhere - seem to be official due to the lack of a price stamp.

Certainly not "official" if going by state recognition but it will be an award of a state sanctioned organisation.

Thanks guys, I have a photo somewhere of a vet wearing this badge.. We'll find a doc / more context some day.

Paperwork (and citations) certainly clear up many misconceptions whilst also filling in the blanks. Knowing that the Soviets loved their paperwork something has to turn up sooner or later.

HSU Borisov with the badge in wear. It's the lowermost badge on the right side of his jacket, under "Excellent Worker of Aeroflot."
