    Ukranian WWII 50th anniversary badge


    Recommended Posts

    Good morning Troy Tempest, the badge you bought is certainly original.

    Interesting badge, even if not rare. Ukraine then went on producing medals (not badges anymore) for celebrating the liberation of Ukraine and its veterans.

    Here attached you find a medal for war veterans. The monument on the medal is the famous "Rodina Mat" of Kiev, part of one of the biggest war memorial complexes in the whole former USSR.

    Here a ukrainian medal for the the 60th anniversary of the Liberation of Ukraine from Fascist Invaders.

    Interesting is the fact that the year reported is 1944, not 1945, as this medal celebrates the liberation of the Ukrainian territory from Nazi troops, not the 1945 victory of the Soviet Union.

    Other medals (practically copies of the Russian ones) were issued for the celebration of the Victory Day, 9th of May (the ones for the 60th and 65th anniversary have red and orange-black ribbons [the last two colors are the St. George ones] and are based on typical Soviet symbology i.e. the orders of Victory and Glory).
