Medal "Laureate Of The Exhibition Of Achievements Of The National Economy".

Laureate BDHX medal
Nickel alloy, blue ribbon, pinback, no variations. This is the newest medal I know to be awarded regarding BDHX.

New medal!

BDHX laureat medal - Golden variation. Now I am almost 100% convinced that this "Laureat" medals REPLACED previous medals of BDHX, and that they come in 3 classes:

First class - medal is Gold in color, Red ribbon;
Second class - Medal is Silver in color, Blue ribbon; (see posts 14 and 15)
Third class - Medal is bronze in color, Green ribbon.

HOWEVER, Until today I did not know about the red ribbon gold medal, and I never saw the third class medal, but I believe it is "Out there".

Tal,

I have one of these gold Laureate medals. On the other hand, I have never seen what you call "Third Class" nor heard of one. I think the VDNKh Laureate medals were the continuation of the VSKhV medals, and therefore could only exist in 2 classes.

I ASSUMED there are 3 classes, and the ribbon colors suggest this - like many sport medals - red for 1st place, blue for 2nd, green for 3rd.

However, ia am sorry that you only have one medal.... ;)

I'll keep you in mind in case another one crosses my path ;)

I went to a militaria show yesterday in Belgium, and saw 2 of the gold VDNKh Laureate medal. I had only seen (and purchased :) ) one before in over five years.

That's strange - the first time I saw a medal like this was this week. One of the forum's most expert moderaors never saw such medal either.

Tal,

I have had mine for a few years already. I believe these are genuine; workmanship is really up to par, at least on mine.

Re: BCXB & BDHX Badges

These two medals were purchased because of an abiding love I have for the Vera Mukhina statue they depict. They are VDNK Lareate medals and are featured in a book I have of Socialist awards from the Brezhnev era.

Re: BCXB & BDHX medals

Here's my BDHX Laureate medal.
From what I understand it's a later issue prize, awarded by a body formerly the VDNKh (?) for success in the exhibition (agricultural, or just general Soviet, labor-related...stuff(?)?).
Anyway, an item I've wanted to get for a while. A medium-sized item at about 29mm in pristine condition with a mintmark on the suspension's reverse. A bunch of these were just listed on ebay, I suspect the seller just came across a lot of unawarded medals in a storeroom in Moscow. As much as I am not a fan of NOS material the price was right.
I haven't checked with A8 yet but am I also to believe that this is the second class award, that there was a golden or 1st grade award as well?

Re: BCXB & BDHX medals

Hi Eric,

The VDNKh followed the VSKhV. I believe there are two versions of this silver medal - one that has a frosty background (yours) and one with a smooth (mirror) background.
