Produced in the Soviet Union badges
Collectors from Russia and neighboring countries are increasingly interested in rare badges issued in the Soviet Union. At that time, they were mass-produced – for propaganda purposes, for anniversaries and significant events – and cost a penny. Over the years, the cost of individual copies has increased many times. I have a small collection of such badges issued in the Soviet Union on various topics.
Soviet people enthusiastically collected badges, both children and adults. There were several reasons for this popularity: a huge range of products, penny price, and a variety of subjects. Particularly popular were the circulations devoted to cities, Lenin and communist party, sporting events, space and astronauts, anniversary dates, wars, famous people, monuments of architecture and more.

Some samples were produced in multi-million copies, others in small quantities. The most valuable specimens have been preserved in a single quantity.

Traditionally made from aluminum – they are of no value, and now collectors give 300-600 rubles ($5-10) for them. But there were other series – from bronze and other heavy metals, with enamel, inlaid with semiprecious stones, and they are in demand.
