Pins from the 1987 jubilee are among the last large anniversary series issued before the Soviet Union ended. Collectors often pair a pin like this with other October Revolution anniversary issues, such as the 50th anniversary badge from 1967, to show how the same theme was reinterpreted over the decades. The red banner with the slogan on the left and the cruiser on the right keep the composition easy to read at a glance, and the aluminum and cold enamel construction keeps the badge light on a lapel or a display board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681934803093,"sku":"EBAY-406973159174","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/soviet-glory-to-october-badge-aurora-cruiser-1.jpg?v=1791722658","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/soviet-glory-to-october-badge-aurora-cruiser","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
