Breast Badge

Description

The badge is shaped like a five-pointed star with faceted rays, between which smaller faceted beams form a multi-rayed composition. Placed upon the star is a wreath of oak leaves, in the center of which is the figure of a Soviet soldier in the summer field uniform of that time, wearing a helmet. In his left hand, the soldier holds a PPSh-41 submachine gun, and in his right - the shaft of a red flag unfolded to the left. The flag has longitudinal grooves under the enamel, creating the effect of folds, with a small red five-pointed star at the corner, beneath which are the hammer and sickle. Turning to the right towards the West, the soldier tramples with his right foot the black imperial eagle of Nazi Germany. To the right of the flagstaff are the dates “1945-1970” written in two lines. The lower part of the wreath is covered with a red ribbon bearing the inscription: “25 Years of Victory in the War of 1941-1945.” The badge is attached by a loop and ring to a seven-sided shield, the upper and shoulder sides of which have segmental cutouts. Across the shield, from the top right downward to the left, runs the image of a St. George ribbon, over which a laurel branch is laid perpendicularly. All details of the badge are golden in color.
