Medal of an Honored Worker of Energy Industry of the USSR,1970s-80s issue.
This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL award of theSoviet period, not a post-Soviet issue or a replica! The medal is in silver-plated and gold-plated brass and paint.
The medallion measures 39.6 mm tall (incl.eyelet) x 35.7 mm wide. Nice artwork with hydroelectric dam, high voltage powerlines, model of an atom and gilded ears of wheat on the sides. The reverse hasLenin\'s quote \"Communism is Soviet Rule Plus
Electrification of the Entire Country\"(which of course later gave birth to a politically incorrect joke \"Toelectrify the entire country subtract Soviet rule from Communism\".) The suspension device shows late type logo ofthe Leningrad Mint.
The medal is in Excellent Condition. The silverfinish is perfect, the gilt on the wreath is very bright; the paint is free ofscuffs. A very attractive award of the Brezhnev era!
