Soviet badge, DOSAAF, suprlus

A small pin celebrating the "Volunteer Society for Cooperation with the Army, Aviation, and Navy" or simply Dobrovolnoje Obštšestvo Sodeistvija Armii, Aviatsii i Flotu, DOSAAF. "Volunteer". Hehe. One-off lot!

Size about 2 x 2,5 cm, pin attachment on the back. Metal.

This Volunteer Society is still alive in Russia, but the name today is "Russian Defence Sports-Technical Organization", POCTO. According to Wikipedia, its goals are "patriotic upbringing of the population and preparation of it to the defense of the Motherland". And everybody knows what 'defense' means when talking about Russia. And everybody also knows what "voluntary" means when talking about Soviet Union.

Real deal Soviet stuff.
