Rare vintage Soviet commemorative set dedicated to Vladimir Lenin and the revolutionary period of 1917–1957.
The main piece is a striking gold-tone decorative plate / wall display dish featuring a raised relief image of Lenin, radiant star design, laurel branches and architectural elements associated with Leningrad / Saint Petersburg. The center medallion is surrounded by a deep dark burgundy-purple decorative ring and a bright gold-tone crimped rim.
Included with the plate is a very unusual small plastic case containing 6 miniature square portrait pins / badges with Lenin images. The badges have colorful reflective / mirror-like backgrounds and brass-tone frames. A very interesting addition to the set and not often found together with such a commemorative display piece.
This is a strong collectible item for anyone interested in Soviet history, USSR memorabilia, Lenin collectibles, political propaganda art, Cold War-era décor, or Eastern European vintage objects.

Why It’s Special
This is not just a standard Lenin souvenir. The combination of the decorative commemorative plate with the complete set of six miniature portrait badges makes it a much more interesting and display-worthy Soviet collectible. The gold-tone relief, the 1917–1957 dates, and the Leningrad/St. Petersburg imagery give the piece a strong historical and visual character.
