Russian Soviet 30th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Ukrainian SSR 1974 Jubilee Breast Badge

The Russian Soviet 30th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Ukrainian SSR 1974 Jubilee Breast Badge was issued in the Soviet Union to commemorate three decades since the liberation of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic from German occupation during World War II. Produced in 1974, this badge was distributed to veterans and participants in the liberation campaigns, as well as individuals contributing to the commemoration events. The badge typically features Soviet insignia and imagery relevant to the Ukrainian SSR, such as the hammer and sickle, the dates “1944–1974,” and Cyrillic inscriptions related to the anniversary. Manufactured from lightweight metal with enamel details, it is designed to be worn on the chest, often affixed with a pin or screw-back attachment. The award represents the Soviet practice of marking significant wartime events and fostering remembrance among the populace. It serves as an example of late Soviet commemorative decorations, reflecting both historical context and design conventions of its era.
