Deng Xiaoping (1904-1997) was a Chinese politician who was the paramount leader of the People’s Republic of China from 1978 until 1989. After Chairman Mao Zedong’s death in 1976, Deng gradually rose to power and led China through a series of far-reaching market-economy reforms, which earned him the reputation as the “Architect of Modern China”.
Deng studied and worked in France in the 1920s, where he became a follower of Marxism–Leninism. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1923. Upon returning to China, Deng joined the party organization in Shanghai, becoming a political commissar for the Red Army in rural regions. In 1931, he was demoted within the party due to his support of Mao Zedong, but was promoted again during the 1935 Zunyi Conference. By the late 1930s,
Deng was considered a “revolutionary veteran” because he participated in the Long March. Following the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Deng worked in Tibet as well as in southwest China to consolidate Communist control. As the party’s Secretary-general in the 1950s, Deng presided over the Anti-Rightist Campaign launched by Mao and became instrumental in China’s economic reconstruction following the Great Leap Forward (1958–1960). However, his economic policies caused him to fall out of favor with Mao Zedong and he was purged twice during the Cultural Revolution.

Unique propagandaworld watch with the image of Laika. Beautiful and in good working order. This watch is only available on Propagandaworld.
Laika was a Soviet space dog who became the first animal in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika, a stray mongrel from the streets of Moscow, was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space in 1957. Soviet scientists chose to use Moscow straydogs since they assumed that such animals had already learned to endure conditions of extreme cold and hunger.
Little was known about the impact of spaceflight on living creatures at the time of Laika’s mission. Some scientists believed humans would be unable to survive the launch or the conditions of outer space, so engineers viewed flights by animals as a necessary precursor to human missions. The experiment aimed to prove that a living passenger could survive being launched into orbit paving the way for human spaceflight and providing scientists with some of the first data on how living organisms react to spaceflight environments.

Truck with German V-2 Missile and launch pad 1942-1945.
Vintage, 60s-70s, handmade model made with great passion. Prpbably made in the Soviet Union. The V-2 “Vergeltungswaffe” technical name Aggregat 4 (A4), was the world’s first long-range ballistic missile. The missile, powered by a liquid propellant rocket engine, was developed in Germany during World War II as a “revenge weapon” designated to attack Allied cities in retaliation for the Allied bombing of German cities. The V-2 rocket also became the first man-made object to fly into space by crossing the Kármán line with its vertical launch on June 20, 1944. First space rocket?
It is amazing what a work and craftsmanship has gone into this model. It is made of zinc sheet brass and metal. Everything can be moved or removed, moving, open, standing, driving, etc.
Trailer can be disconnected. Front axle of the trailer rotates in 2 places. The rear support arms can be folded out and the support legs can be rotated downwards. The 4 truck doors can be opened and have a door handle. The missile tilts up until the missile is above the launch pad. There are 2 sliding systems to represent the hydraulic cylinders. Once upright, the clamps can be released and the rocket is on the launch block. There is a locking pin between the rear rocket wings to ensure that the rocket does not fall off the trailer.

Medal DDR from the FDJ youth organisation. This medal came in 3 classes. Bronze was for city leadership, silver was for county leadership and gold was for district leadership.
The Artur Becker Medal was the highest award of the Free German Youth of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and was associated with a cash bonus.
Artur Becker (born 1905 Germany died 1938 in Spain) was an official of the Communist Youth Association of Germany (KJVD), Member of the Reichstag and fighter in the Spanish Civil War.
As a teenager, he joined the Free Socialist Youth in 1919, the Communist Youth Association (KJVD) in 1920 and the German Communist Party (KPD) in 1922. As a political opponent of the National Socialists, he was forced to emigrate in 1933 and fled to Moscow.
He later organized the fight for the Spanish Republic. From August 1937 he took part in the armed fighting, from spring 1938 as Political Commissioner of the Thälmann Battalion of the International Brigades. On April 13, 1938, he was severely wounded in captivity. He is said to have been shot in a Burgos prison on 16 May 1938 after several weeks of interrogation. According to a Gestapo report from August 1939 there were Gestapo officials in Spain who interrogated prisoners and also tried to find Becker. Apparently, this did not succeed, Becker possibly died under the wrong name in a hospital, according to the Gestapo report.

On the back inscription. Farewell gift. The image on the case is not (hand) engraved but pressed with a die in a factory. There is space (in the shield) to engrave initials. In this specific case, the text was too big for the shield.
In many shops in the Soviet Union, usually near a souvenir shop, there were men who could decorate or personalize a gift with a kind of engraving. These craftsmen had a self-built electric tool, a kind of Dremel, with which they engraved with a cutter. The box is an example of this “art”. The text on the case reads:”To my friend Viktor in memory of the joint service in the ranks of the Soviet Army of Smolsky A.L. Chmelnytsky, 1983-1985″
Compulsory military service was a major, if not the greatest, event in the lives for many boys ages 18-20 (often from remote areas and villages). The friendships made during many difficulties and trials during this service often remained literally lifelong friendship.

DDR medal about Leuna. The front of the medal reads:”Through Struggle To Victory”. The back of the medal says:”To commemorate the fallen leuna fighters. To remind the living
marching struggle of the leuna workers. district party organization Leuna”.
Leuna is a district but Leuna is best known for the Leuna-Werke, a huge complex of chemical industry with an area of over 20 km². The foundation for this was laid when BASF built an ammonia plant near Leuna during the First World War, out of reach of the Allied air forces.
From 1925 this factory fell under the IG Farben. In 1936 construction of an installation for the manufacture of synthetic gasoline for the Wehrmacht started. In March 1945, more than 14,000 people worked here, of which more than 90% were foreigners (mostly as forced laborers). The installations were bombed more than 20 times and production did not stop until April 1945. After the war, about half of the remains of the installations were taken away by the Soviet Union as reparations. In 1954, the Soviet Union transferred ownership to the GDR, who further expanded the complex as VEB Leuna-Werke Walter Ulbricht. In the GDR era, 30,000 people worked here.

The pin reads:”Russian Army Borodino 1812″.
It refers to the battle of Borodino when the French army of Napoleon invaded Imperial Russia.
The fighting involved around 250,000 troops and left at least 70,000 casualties, making Borodino the deadliest day of the Napoleonic Wars and the bloodiest single day in the history of warfare until the First Battle of the Marne in 1914. Napoleon’s Grande Armée launched an attack against the Imperial Russian Army, driving it back from its initial positions but failing to gain a decisive victory. Both armies were exhausted after the battle and the Russians withdrew from the field the following day. Borodino represented the last Russian effort at stopping the French advance on Moscow, which fell a week later. However, the French had no clear way of forcing Tsar Alexander to capitulate because the Russian army was not decisively defeated, resulting in the ultimate defeat of the French invasion following the retreat from Moscow in October.

Beautiful rare propagandabook from North Korea, published in 1975 about the Juche culture. This book is extremely hard to find and the book find his way into Europe through different political activist groups and persons in the 1970’s.
The book is about the Juche and how it has influenced all aspects of North Korean life, such as architecture, Art, Culture and everyday life.
Juche is the official ideology of North Korea, described by the government as “Kim Il-sung’s original, brilliant and revolutionary contribution to national and international thought”.
It postulates that “man is the master of his destiny”, that the Korean masses are to act as the “masters of the revolution and construction” and that by becoming self-reliant and strong, a nation can achieve true socialism. Kim Il-sung (1912–1994) developed the ideology, which was originally viewed as a variant of Marxism–Leninism until it became distinctly Korean in character.
