eBay Soviet “Ready for Air Defense” Badge, 1958-1966 issue. GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL Soviet badge from the early Cold War era, not a recent replica! This is a quality piece made in solid BRASS and fine “hot baked” enamel. Measures approx. 22.6 x 15.6 mm. The badge is in EXCELLENT condition. Shows light age only, no excessive wear or chips to enamel. There is a Soviet style maker mark on the reverse. The pin back attachment is fully functional. This badge was established in 1958, at the time when the Cold War tensions were reaching its peak. The “Ready for Air Defense” program was run by the DOSAAF organization; it trained Soviet working age population in first aid, evacuation procedures, use of gas mask etc. The badge was awarded for passing the test demonstrating proficiency in all the required components of the program. The late 1950s – early 60s was the period when humanity arguably came closest to nuclear holocaust. Although Soviet offensive capabilities at the time were incomparable to that of the US and its allies, Khrushchev engaged on a reckless campaign of challenging the West both diplomatically and militarily. The big gamble included building the Berlin Wall (in violation of the Potsdam agreements), blockading West Berlin, banging a shoe at the UN assembly and exploding the world’s biggest ever H-bomb (impressive but useless militarily). The gambit culminated in the Cuban missile crisis and the ignominious Soviet retreat. When Soviet blackmail failed – thanks to the western military superiority – the USSR quickly recalibrated its foreign policy. Following the ouster of Khrushchev, the new Soviet leadership changed emphasis to “peaceful coexistence” and from that point on tried to undermine the West mostly through subterfuge rather than military confrontation. The possibility of the all out war receding, the Air Defense program lost any urgency and the badge was abolished in 1966. This badge represents an essential page in the post-WW2 history. This can be a great addition to a Soviet or Cold War collection, at a very small price! FREE SHIPPING (USPS 1st cl. Mail) WITHIN USA ONLY! We WILL NOT ship our eBay items outside USA.
