This poster is from 1939 announcing the 18th. party congress.
The 18th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) was held during 10–21 March 1939 in Moscow. It elected the 18th Central Committee.
The 18th. congress consisted of an analysis of the internal and international situation of the country, as well as its future development perspectives. The Congress considered socialism in the USSR to be largely built, while in its view the country was already sailing towards a new step of development.
A new goal was set: to catch and get ahead of the most developed capitalistic States.
The18th. congress also confirmed the third five-years plan for the development of the Soviet economy.
After the 17th congress Stalin dismissed Soviet foreign minister Litvinov and appointed Vyacheslav Molotov, a move that led to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and a temporary understanding with Nazi Germany.

This pin is about Luna 9. The first spacecraft to land on the moon in 1966.
Approximately 250 seconds after landing on the moon, four petals opened outward for increased stability. The television camera system began a photographic survey of the lunar environment. Seven radio sessions with a total of 8 hours and 5 minutes were transmitted, as well as three series of TV pictures.
The photographs gave a panoramic view of the immediate lunar surface, comprising views of nearby rocks and of the horizon.
The pictures from Luna 9 were not released immediately by the Soviet authorities, but scientists in England, which was monitoring the craft, noticed that the signal format used was identical to the internationally agreed Radiofax system used by newspapers for transmitting pictures. The Daily Express rushed a suitable receiver to scientists and the pictures from Luna 9 were decoded and published worldwide.
The mission also determined that a spacecraft would not sink into the lunar dust; that the ground could support a lander.

This space pin says:”Luna 2″.
Luna 2 was the sixth of the Soviet Union’s Luna programme spacecraft launched to the Moon.
The spacecraft was launched on 12 September 1959 by the Luna 8K72. It followed a direct path to the Moon. On 13 September 1959, it impacted (crashed) on the Moon’s surface. It was the first spacecraft to reach the surface of the Moon, and the first human-made object to make contact with another celestial body.
Because of claims that information received from Luna 1 was fake, the Russian scientists sent a telex to astronomer Bernard Lovell at Jodrell Bank Observatory at the University of Manchester. Lovell began tracking the probe about five hours before it impacted the Moon and also recorded the transmission from the probe which ends abruptly. He played the recording during a phone call to reporters in New York to finally convince most of media observers of the mission’s authenticity.

Postcard about the 9th of May.
9 May is Victory Day. It is a holiday that commemorates the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945. The Soviet government announced the victory early on 9 May after the signing ceremony in Berlin.
The surrender was signed twice. An initial document was signed in Reims on 7 May 1945 by the Western Allied Forces. Since the Soviet High Command had not agreed to the text of the surrender, the USSR requested that a second, revised, instrument of surrender be signed in Berlin. Joseph Stalin declared that the Soviet Union considered the Reims surrender a preliminary document, and Eisenhower immediately agreed with that. Another argument was that some German troops considered the Reims instrument of surrender, as a surrender to the Western Allies only, and fighting continued in the East, especially in Prague.
A quote of Stalin:
“Today, in Reims, Germans signed the preliminary act on an unconditional surrender. The main contribution, however, was done by Soviet people and not by the Allies, therefore the capitulation must be signed in front of the Supreme Command of all countries of the anti-Hitler coalition, and not only in front of the Supreme Command of Allied Forces. Moreover, I disagree that the surrender was not signed in Berlin, which was the center of Nazi aggression. We agreed with the Allies to consider the Reims protocol as preliminary.”

These works of Stalin are his thoughts and political ideas written down based on the works of Karl Marx and his friend Lenin (Marxism, Lenism) in order to mobilise the Russian people for his political program.
In the DDR the communistic ruling party, the SED, wanted these works to be translated and published for the German people in 1950. Resulting in the 13 editions of the Stalin Werke. Originally there were 15 parts but after the death of Stalin an because of the rejected Stalin ideology by Khrushchev the 14th. and 15th. edition of the works were put on hold. Eventually parts 14 and 15 (along with parts 16 and 17) were published in West Germany by a communist group.

Beautiful medal from the DDR. It was for the FDJ (Freie Deutsche Jugend, Free German Youth) organisation. The medal is from 1952 and has serial number 00113. The medal says:”Fur hervorragende Leistungen im Fünfjahrplan” wich means “For Excellence In The Five Year Plan”.
They started with these type of medals in 1952 end it ended it 1959 and was givin to individuals. The First Five Year Plan (1951–55) introduced centralized state planning; it stressed high production quotas for heavy industry and increased labor productivity. The pressures of the plan caused an exodus of DDR citizens to West Germany.
The Free German Youth, also known as the FDJ (in German Freie Deutsche Jugend), is a youth movement in Germany. Formerly it was the official youth movement of the DDR and the Socialist Unity Party of Germany. The color blue was their primary colour.
The organization was meant for young people, both male and female, between the ages of 14 and 25. In 1981 it had 2.3 million members. After being a member of the Thalmann Pioneers, which was for schoolchildren ages 6 to 14, East German youths would usually join the FDJ. Those who did not join lost access to organized holidays, and found it difficult to be admitted to universities, pursue chosen careers etc. The majority of youths who refused to join did so for religious reasons.
While the movement was intended to promote Marxist–Leninist ideology among East Germany’s young people, it also arranged thousands of holidays for young people through its Jugendtourist agency, and ran discos and open air rock concerts.

Very rare DDR carpet with Ernst Thalmann on it. The carpet is in perfect condition. Totally original. Very well made.
Ernst Thalmann (1886-1944) was a German communist politician. He was leader of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) from 1925 to 1933. A committed Stalinist, Thalmann played a major role in the political instability of the Weimar Republic in its final years, when the KPD explicitly sought the overthrow of the liberal democracy of the republic. Under his leadership the KPD became intimately associated with the government of the Soviet Union and the policies of Joseph Stalin, and from 1928 the party was largely controlled and funded by Stalin’s government.
The KPD under Thalmann’s leadership regarded the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as Social fascists. Thalmann viewed the Nazi Party as a lesser evil than the social democrats, and in 1931 his party cooperated with the Nazis in an attempt to bring down the social democrat state government. Thalmann believed that a Nazi dictatorship would fail due to flawed economic policies and lead to a revolutionary situation in which the communist party gained power.
Thalmann was also leader of the paramilitary Roter Frontkampferbund, which was banned as extremist by the governing social democrats in 1929, and in 1932 he established Antifaschistische Aktion or Antifa, which concentrated its attacks on the social democrats. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1933 and held in solitary confinement for eleven years; Stalin did not seek his release when he entered into the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with Germany, and Thalmann’s party rival Walter Ulbricht ignored requests to plead on his behalf. Many of Thalmann’s closest associates who had emigrated to the Soviet Union were executed during the Great Purge of the 1930s. Thalmann was shot in Buchenwald on Adolf Hitler’s personal orders in 1944.
In the First World War he was posted to the artillery on the western front, where he stayed till the end of the war, during the course of which he was wounded twice. He said that he fought in the following battles: Battle of Champagne (1915–1916), Battle of the Somme (1916), Second battle of the Aisne, Battle of Soissons, Battle of Cambrai (1917) and Battle of Arras (1917).

Gadaffi propaganda clock. Made in Russia. Rare outragious propaganda clock. If you have this in your house it will drop the jaw of everybody. Crazy. Clock has been tested and runs. In very good condition.
Gadaffi (1942-2011) was a Libyan revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He was the leader of Libya as Revolutionary Chairman of the Libyan Arab Republic from 1969 to 1977, and then as the “Brotherly Leader” of the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2011. He was initially ideologically committed to Arab nationalism and Arab socialism but later ruled according to his own Third International Theory.
When he was in the army he founded a revolutionary group which deposed the Western backed Senussi monarchy in a 1969 coup. He deported Libya’s Italian and Jewish minorities and ejected its Western military bases. He nationalized the oil industry and used the increasing state revenues for the military, fund foreign revolutionaries, and implement social programs for house building, healthcare and education projects.
In 1973, he outlined his Third International Theory that year, publishing these ideas in The Green Book.
He died in 2011 when Libya was in a civil war.

However, the organization has run into severe financial trouble, with debts of over US$750 million, and has been ordered by court in 2012 to dispose of most of its assets, including its Tokyo headquarters.
