The only H&S on the building is on a large stone, shaped like a giant piece of curled parchment and is still there to this day. The 12-ton cap is simply a star surrounded on both sides by leaves. The first time I lectured there - on James Joyce's use of musical language... - I saw nothing overtly Soviet. I imagine the tappestries and portrates that hung on walls and staricases had all been changed by then.
Maybe it was just given or sold to people when it was "inagurated" on Sept. 1, 1953 that were at the celebration??

P.S. Eric, check out the Dagestan badge I posted yesterday. I think you'll appreciate the use of color and design vs standard rhomb.
