Guys,

I was sorting through my VSKxV medals when I noticed something that has gone complitely unnoticed until now: there are TWO DIFFERENT TYPES of the small gold plated medal. The text on the reverse is completely different, one being what I believe to be a prize medal, the other being a participation medal (obverse is the usual VSKhV one):
. Prize medal: text on reverse above the tractor "За Успехи в Социалистическом Сельском Хозяйстве"
. Participation medal: text on reverse above the tractor "Участнику всесоюзной Сельскохозяйственной Выставки"
I attach pictures of the 3 such medals I own:
1. Prize medal VSKhV, X on tractor grill, screwback
2. Participation medal VSKhV, X on tractor grill, screwback
3. Participation medal VSKhV, no X on tractor grill, pinback
I am working on a renewed classification for the VSKhV medals and I'll propose it for discussion in the next few days.

I'll be interested in your new classifications. I didn't even know there were any classifications. I've got a few variations at home and it will be interesting (for me, anyway) to see where my things fit into your classifications. If it turns out that I have something that doesn't quite fit, I'll let you know and post it for consideration. That won't happen until late May at the earliest, though, after I get home.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Medal Info

Hi Marillion,

Welcome to the forum. Your medal appears to be a BRONZE BCXB (VSKhV) medal. This exhibition ran from 1939-40 and then 1954-58. After this it became the BDHX (VDNKh).

The bronze medal is available in several forms:

1. Pinback or screwback
2. With or without an "X" on the tractor grill.

I have attached a document I have for this type of medal which says it is a participation award.

Have a look through the rest of this thread. It contains a great deal of info on these awards.

1955 VSKhV Participant Medal Document

Does this mean that early on the large "bronze/brass" medal was a participation award and later became a merit award?

Did participation equal attendance or did it mean a meritorious performance that was not good enough for a gold/silver/(bronze?) medal?

Does anyone have a bronze medal award document from this era?

1957 VSKhV Participant Medal Document

Note the change in colour from the 1955 version (manilla to green).

The Зак. # on the back also changes from 15429 to 18129.

Re: what labor medal please?

Thanks again Marc,
I suspect this one's got some initials as well.

Hi Eric,

This is a participant's medal of the VSKhV, the forerunner of the VDNKh. There are several versions with and without the X on the tractor grill, together with screwback and pinback varieties.
