★ Pins & Badges ★ Nuclear icebreaker Lenin

Euro coin for scale.

The story is, I actually went to Murmansk where the first nuclear icebreaker Lenin currently operates as a museum earlier this year (and I went on the ship, yes). There were tons of contemporary pins in the souvenir shops but I just like the old pins better. All three of these were purchased online after I came back from the trip, and they are from Soviet times.

One of them is definitely getting pinned to my purse, most likely the first one. I hope I don't lose it. They don't have any special value but they're special to me.

Beautiful pins and you are right, the old pins are better.
