Order of Lenin 1st type
The Order of Lenin became the third in a row and the main one in terms of seniority in the award system of the Soviet Union. The date of the official establishment is called April 6, 1930, but discussions about its foundation began in the summer of 1926.
Order of the Red Banner
The development of a new award system began on the personal order of V. I. Lenin, and the initiative came from Nikolai Podvoisky and Leon Trotsky.
The leader of the proletariat imposed a positive resolution on the documents in the last days of August 1918. All six models were designed by Vladimir Vasilyevich Denisov, a graduate of the Stroganov School, who knew engraving and chasing well.
Assay Office building in Moscow. Hallmarking silver in the USSR.
Hallmarking of silver in the USSR has changed more than once in its history. Immediately after the revolution of 1917, most of the jewelry factories and workshops were closed in Russia. Fearing robberies, the owners of large and small enterprises fled abroad. Assay offices, which were previously engaged in hallmarking silver, ceased their work with the coming to power of the Bolsheviks.
Hallmarking of silver at the dawn of the USSR was of little concern to the Soviet government. The main goal of the authorities was the requisition of jewelry and their further sale abroad, since the state needed funds to finance the world revolution. The first steps to put things in order in the jewelry business were made in 1918, when a commission formed under the Council of People’s Commissars assumed control functions.
