USSR, civic and labor
awards
The socialist
ideology honored civic participation and labor effort. Since both
types of activities created general benefit outstanding activity was felt
to be worthy of recognition. Here we have primitive and jocular events
like "personal assistant's day" (at my wife's place of employment they
actually have "supervisor appreciation day"). Over there and back
then some people would display these awards with pride.

The Socialist Competition
was a creature of the 1970s-80s. Awards were given essentially for
efficiency and unpaid overtime. I have a number of badges, banners,
and certificates. Write for current stock and prices.
