I wasn't aware until today, when i saw this badge browsing around, that Polish airlines LOT issued pilots these badges similar to the soviets.

Nearly all the satellite states' national carriers had similar awards. Unlike the Soviet Union, getting a million kilometres under your belt in other nations will mean international flights. I'll be presenting some "Balkan" Badges soon.

Well that does stand to reason i suppose, I have seen Bulgarian, Czech, GDR and of course Soviet examples before, but not this one.
Saying that i haven't really concentrated on looking for specific civil aviation badges.
