A ukranian badge?

[Bob]

Somebody at work gave this to me - now, what is it?

Probably translation will provide the answer!

Thanks,

Bob

Strange that there is no date. The red words are Ukrainian-- "Exhibition on Attainment of People's Power" which is suitably vague.

Nothing on reverse either. It's not an expensive badge but still an interesting one (aren't they all:)).

I guess - also judging by what's depicted on it besides the text - it has to do with electricity or something like this. In other words, perhaps an industrial / trade fair kind of thing related to energy / electricty. I guess we'll never know for sure. Thanks in any case Rick.

wouldn't it be linked to the VDNKh? I can't remember if Kiev had its own VDNKh park... or if it is linked to the Pavillon of Ukraine in the Moscow VDNKh.

Yes, of course. This is a badge of Ukrainian VDNKh (now - National Expo Center). Inscription: "Exhibition on Attainments of People's (or National) Economy". Abbreviation below: "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic"
