It is also a fitting gift for someone interested in Soviet history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681936310421,"sku":"EBAY-406908694002","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/soviet-coat-of-arms-plaque-ussr-state-emblem-1.jpg?v=1791722723","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/soviet-coat-of-arms-plaque-ussr-state-emblem","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
