  • A gold coloured, metal badge 1.5cm wide with a long stick pin fastener to the rear. Featuring the Soviet and Czechoslovakian flags.
  • The BSP were the Brigádách socialistické práce or the Socialist Worker's Brigade.

  • 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.
