  • A vintage gold coloured award made for the SCSP and BSP. The medal is 5cm high in total and has a safety clasp style fastener on the rear side. It features two flags on the front side and the rear has the text 'Socialist Working Socialist Living'. The BSP is the Brigade of Socialist Workers.

  • The SČSP was established in 1948 to popularise Soviet science, literature and culture in Czechoslovakia. The SČSP organized book discussions by Soviet writers, tours to the Soviet Union, and Russian language courses. Membership was largely collective, whereupon work places joined on behalf of the workforce.

    Membership numbers are recorded as 1,535,600 in 1949, remaining around this level throughout the 1950's and then dropping to 293,673 in 1969 in response to the Soviet armed invasion (Prague Spring - Wikipedia) in 1968.

    The SČSP disbanded in 1990 with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
