From the seller's notes
This USSR velvet flag is a large, double-sided commemorative banner from 1970, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Vladimir Lenin's birth. It is made of dark red-purple velvet with gold fringe on three sides. The front shows a portrait of Lenin with the gold dates “1870” and “1970”, and the reverse is an award side tied to the city of Zhovti Vody in Ukraine.

Condition
Authentic, found vintage condition that shows its age. There is a fold line down the middle on both sides, some fading along the edges, pilling and surface wear on the velvet, a distinct small hole or pinhole near one edge and a few other pinholes. The fringe is thinned, tangled and frayed in places, with some loose strands. The embroidered text is generally clear and complete. Please examine all of the photos.
About This Piece
The reverse side shows that the banner was awarded to a winner in a socialist competition by local Party, city, factory and trade union bodies in Zhovti Vody, a city in Ukraine known for uranium mining. That makes the flag a record of a specific local industrial history as well as a Lenin anniversary piece. It is a large item for collectors of historical flags, Soviet memorabilia and industrial history.
