When Vladimir Illyech Lenin was a boy (born Vladimir Illyevich Ulyanov), his father died of a brain hemorrage, his sister was banished to a small villiage for political reasons, and his brother was hanged for an attempted bombing of the royal Romanov family. With nothing much left to lose he looked at his mother and said, "ours will be a different way". in his life, he founded the Bolschevik Party, helped overthrow the Romanov Family, and designed the USSR. he is also the father of a school of Communist thought called Marxism-Leninism, which is a plan involving the entire world. Other than Karl Marx, no other man born was so influential to world developement at a single era in history. Marxist-Leninism was dominant in Eastern Europe and Asia, while simultaneously covering half of Africa and dotting the South and North American continents. even today, after the dissolvement of the USSR, Lenin is still one of the most recognized, respected, and loved of all philosophers. this pin is very inspirational to all Socialists who wish to better mankind.  

Back by popular demand: the "Lenin Club Lots"! When i find a good quantity of identical Lenin badges, i sell them in a lot. this is good for study groups, or even a group of Comrades who go in together for a break in price and shipping. "economy of scale" will either kill us or save us, right?

this is a badge promoting the image of Vladimir Lenin. 3/4" x 1/2" and enameled on gold metal. it is "new-old-stock".

Shipping Policy: Domestic postage includes tracking number. "Int'l Economy Shipping" does not include tracking. "USPS First Class International" includes tracking. For combined postage, i ask the full shipping price for the first badge or medal , and then an extra $0.50 for each item after (with extra discounts to orders of 6 badges/medals or more). If you purchase several items, please wait for me to send you an invoice with adjusted postage before paying. as of January, 2016, the US Postal Service increased registered small international packages by 100%, with the smallest amount (1 ounce/28.5 g) beginning at $13.50. Mi scuso, ma non di spedizione in Italia. vi è stato abuso di troppo ultimamente.. ALWAYS SHIPS FROM USA.
