Soviet red Russian Order star Banner Hero of the Revolutionary Movement (1415)

Description: FOR SALE Soviet Russian Badge Badge "To the Hero of the Revolutionary Movement" (1917-1918) The "Hero of the Revolutionary Movement" badge - historical background The creation of the award badge "Hero of the Revolutionary Movement" was timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the October Revolution in Ukraine. The award was produced by Kyiv, Kharkov, Donetsk and Odessa factories. Such a wide geography of production is explained by the large variety of design options. It should be noted that the veterans included representatives of workers' squads, Red Guards and Red partisans. For their general designation, the concept of "Hero of the Revolutionary Movement" was introduced. This innovation significantly simplified the process of drawing up a number of documents and made it possible to bring many insignia to a common denominator.he need to stamp a larger number of badges was also explained by the large presence of Red Partisan veterans in the ranks. The "Hero of the Revolutionary Movement" badges were most often awarded in Ukraine and Abkhazia. This is confirmed by the most common examples with nuts from the Kyiv workshop "Gravyuchas" and inscriptions in Ukrainian. As for Abkhazia, the country is listed on the award paraphernalia in the form of the inscriptions "To the Hero of the Revolutionary Movement of the ASSR Abkhazia". But it cannot be ruled out that the geography of the awarding of the badge is even more extensive. For example, a sample was brought to Moscow from Georgia, distinguished not only by its highly artistic design, but also by its larger size compared to other examples.Throughout history, about 10 varieties were released. Silver and bronze were used in production. Despite the general similarity of the samples, there are still differences. Compositionally, the drawing consists of several common objects, but their location may differ. The signs necessarily included a figure of a Red Army soldier, a waving red banner with the full or abbreviated name of the sign, a Maxim machine gun, a red star, a figured ribbon with the dates 1917-1918, a laurel branch, a lush sheaf of ears of corn and a factory building with a smoking chimney in the background. Coated with red and white enamel. In general, the “Hero of the Revolutionary Movement” badges can be divided into two groups: with the emblem of the Red Army and without. The design of the "Hero of the Revolutionary Movement" signs without the Red Army symbols is more varied. Instead of a Red Army soldier, a partisan dressed in civilian clothes is presented here, the factory buildings look like ordinary houses, and there is a stylized image of mined coal.According to one version, the first type of award was intended for the Red Guards, the second for the Red Partisans. There is no information about the circulation and what kind of badges were issued. Today, the "Hero of the Revolutionary Movement" badges are really rare (the originals have practically not survived), and their condition can hardly be called "good". The critical small number of badges that have survived to this day is also explained by the fact that, according to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR of 1933, wearing badges not approved by the Presidium was prohibited, and samples that were outwardly similar to Soviet orders were confiscated.
