Description

Yugoslavia, Republic; Circular shaped award in silvered bronze, partially enameled, 41mm, pin back, unmarked (but known maker is IKOM, Zagreb), in extremely fine condition and very rare, with less then 100 awarded.

Footnote: awarded to surviving members of the Yugoslav communist party who fought alongside Red Army during October Revolution in Russia (30 years commemorative award). These participants were recruited from the Slovenian and Croatian members of the Austro-Hungarian Army, who fought on the Eastern Front and become prisoners of War during 1915-1917. Although eventually few thousands of these former POW's joined Red Army during 1916-1917 (most notable, Josip Broz Tito), by 1947-48 political climate between Soviet Union and Yugoslavia become hostile, and as a result less then 100 participants claimed this award during 1947/48.
