Some Information from Dinar Nr. 24:

"Commemorative Badge ?Partisan of Yugoslavia - Citizen of USSR" Celebrating the 45th Anniversary of the Victory of Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War, an interesting and quite rare badge had been issued and awarded to the still living Soviet citizens who fought in the Yugoslav partisan forces. Out of those who were taking part in the Tito?s liberation army, partisans, 3074 persons had been awarded with high Yugoslav military orders and decorations. This 1990 commemorative badge was issued in 200 pieces only, instead the originally planned quantity of 400. It had been made in aluminum alloy in oval shape, 35x38 mm, and has inscriptions in Russian language meaning ?PATRIOTIC WAR? on obverse and ?PARTICIPANT OF THE PEOPLE?S LIBERATION WAR OF YUGOSLAVIA? on reverse. On the five-sided aluminum suspension plate there is an inscription in three lines meaning ?PARTISAN OF YUGOSLAVIA, CIT. OF USSR?. This badge had been awarded with a Soviet type order certificate in form of a booklet, and it had been signed not by the President, but by deputy of the Vice-President of the Federal Union of the Soviet WWII veterans, Mr. P. I. Kravcenko. Just a reminder that the old disputes between ?revisionist? Yugoslavia and the Soviet block had not been forgotten completely."
