Lenin Test, 1969-1970.
Aluminum, paint. Maker mark of Pobeda Factory on the reverse. Excellent condition.

Leninskiy Zachyot (Lenin Test) was conducted to commemorate Lenin's centenary in 1970. The idea was to check every worker and student for political "awareness" and correctness. The badge was issued during only one year, apparently as an award for help in preparation of the test or for passing with high marks. One of the highest Communist Youth decorations, awarded by the Central Committee of Komsomol.
