Pairing Lenin’s profile with a globe and a rocket path, this desk ornament captures the optimism of the Soviet space program in a single object. It is a fine find for collectors of cosmonautics and Soviet history, and a striking accent for a desk or bookshelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
