Kiev Youth Festival Participant Badge, 1956.
Measures 18 mm diameter. Brass, enamels, fine quality. Raised Leningrad Mint mark "LMD" to the reverse. Shows the national flag of Soviet Ukraine and dove symbolizing world peace. Excellent condition.
For historical perspective on the Soviet concept of world peace: the USSR invaded Hungary that same year using the previously annexed western Ukraine as jumping-off point.
