This one is sort of an anomaly for me. I know what they were supposed to do, but I don't know how they got the jobs. I am talking about the Комитет Напродного Контроля. The biggest problem is trying to find a suitable translation that doesn't change the meaning - "Committee of People's Control" sounds too Orwellian and "Committee for the People to have Control over some aspects, departments or sections of the government that are allowed to be controlled in any way by the people" is, well...:rolleyes: - but right on the money. And speaking of money, what I've learned about this committee is that the members were often the most corrupt of all (as is often the case with the "watchers of government"). I once saw the badges these members wore like deputy badges for sale, but they were sold by the time I tried to buy one.
Anyway, I've had the ID for years and finally came across a small badge/medal for someone serving on the Committee. It must have been made in the mid to late 60s judging by the style of the hammer and sickle. It seems well made with a LMD mark and an uncut connecting ring (no BS). I also get the biggest kick out of the face on the character in the ID - :yow He looks like the kind of person who makes babies cry just by looking at them and then steals their candy.
Sorry about the darkness of the reverse of the badge, but I couldn't get a good indoor shot without making the wording unreadable.
