LENIN'S LEGACY

A concise history and guide to Soviet collectibles, the military and political artefacts of the Soviet Union. "Lenin's Legacy" combines a concise history of the Soviet Union with a study of its "symbolism" which until now has largely been hidden from the West. The book shows nearly two thousand items including pins and badges, orders and medals, busts and statues, table medallions and wall plaques, banners and flags, paintings and coins and many others. Subjects covered include political, Communist Party, Aeroflot, Soviet space programmes, Party Congresses, Lenin, Soviet military forces and others. This book is designed not only for the collector, but also the historian. Prices included to show approximate value (in US dollars).
