They are easy to display and relatively simple to collect, and many collectors group them by label, such as shock worker of communist labor, to compare how designs differ. The Udarnik title appears on a wide range of Soviet badges, so it helps to compare several to see how designs vary. With its Lenin portrait and communist labor theme, this one connects the work-award tradition with the cult of Lenin that was common in Soviet imagery. Five photos show the badge from several angles, and the small size makes it easy to add to an existing pin display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681931526293,"sku":"EBAY-407172067671","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/udarnik-shock-worker-medal-pin-communist-labor-1.jpg?v=1791722535","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/udarnik-shock-worker-medal-pin-communist-labor","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
