But enough politics; assuming you've been good may many small, metallic, and authentic KGB badges mysteriously appear under your tree tomorrow morning.
Cheers all! :thumbsup
If Christmas were what it's supposed to be instead of what it has become in the Coca-Cola-drinking Western world, then there would have been several Cheka-OGPU badges under my modest little tree (even high quality fakes would have been acceptable
), but I do not wish to go into the socio-political aspects of our red-n-white-clad Santa and the emphasis on "buy, buy, buy" - remember, the Soviets gave out "good consumer" awards to the members of the public who managed to to purchase their "quota" of consumer items each month. Instead, we tax the consumer more...I'll stop there.
I have one or two of those "good consumer" awards and document(s) somewhere, but I also remember posting photos of it somewhere here.:o
