Soviet CHERNOBYL LIQUIDATOR Badge MVD Internal Army for Ukraine Nuclear Cleanup

Description: Soviet Award Badge for Servicemen of the MVD Internal Army who participated in the clean-up after the Reactor Meltdown in Chernobyl.This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL 1980s official Soviet issue, NOT a recent replica!The badge is made in anodized aluminum, paint and lacquer. It measures approximately 40.5 mm tall x 28 mm wide. The inscription on the red banner reads “VV MVD USSR” (i.e., Internal Army Troops of the Ministry of the Interior of the USSR). The writing on the black band around the center medallion is "To a Participant of the Liquidation of the Consequences of the Accident, ChAES (Chernobyl Atomic Power Station)".The badge is in excellent condition, shows only storage age. There is no wear to the paint and gold finish. Includes fully functional pin attachment. Please note, our photos show an example, but all are in the same condition.The badge was awarded by the command of the MVD Troops to active-duty MVD servicemen who were brought from various areas of the Soviet Union to deal with the results of the Chernobyl catastrophe. They participated in the rescue and clean-up efforts alongside thousands of conscripts from the regular army as well as civilian volunteers. Like the others, they often worked at or in the immediate vicinity of the reactor site with little or no protection from the deadly radiation.Few yeas after the disaster, a medal was issued to all the surviving participants of the clean-up by the central government. At the same time, commands of the various Soviet military districts and MVD troops established their own badges to award to the veteran Chernobyl “liquidators”. Of course, MVD troops were but a fraction of the total number of participants, so badges specific to MVD are far less common than the Chernobyl Medal issued to all liquidators.FREE SHIPPING (USPS 1st cl.
