Badge for Crossing the Equator Aboard the Missile Cruiser Vitse-Admiral Drozd, 1972. A very interesting award for rescuing the crew of the infamous Soviet nuclear sub K-19 (known as "Hiroshima" among the Soviet sailors and popularized in the west by the 2002 Harrison Ford movie K-19: The Widowmaker). EXC condition.

Badge (Medal) of a Participant of Northern Convoys, issued
in
Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Arrival of the
First WW2 Allied Convoy into the Port of Archangelsk (PQ 0
"Dervish"). The badge was awarded in August 1991 to
foreign
and Soviet veteran sailors invited to Arkhangelsk to
celebrate
the anniversary. An extremely interesting and historically
significant piece.
