Union Of Working Youth.

Union of Working Youth (Hungarian: Dolgozó Ifjúság Szövetsége, DISZ) was an organization for Hungarian youth between 14 and 26 years. It existed from 1950 until 1956, at which time it was dissolved due to involvement in counter-revolutionary activities. In 1957 it was reorganized into the Hungarian Young Communist League (KISZ). Here are a couple of DISZ membership badges, one large and one small, both pin backed, along side a KISZ membership badge. During it's tenure, membership in DISZ would, frankly, decide one's success... university admission depended on it, membership "opened doors", etc. Note the similarity to the Soviet VLKSM badge.
