The crowning ornament was very often a red star, echoing the ruby stars on the towers of the Moscow Kremlin and replacing the angels and Stars of Bethlehem of earlier times. Illuminated plastic stars like this one were a common sight in apartments, schools and offices across the country in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, a Soviet tree topper is one of the most recognizable symbols of a Soviet New Year. Whether you place it on top of your own tree, add it to a collection of vintage Christmas ornaments, or display it year-round as a piece of USSR design, this red star brings an authentic touch of 1970s holiday nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
