Pin DDR from the FDGB organisation.
The Free German Trade Union Federation (German: Freier Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund or FDGB), was the sole national trade union centre of the DDR which existed from 1946 and 1990. As a mass organisation of the DDR, nominally representing all workers in the country, the FDGB was a constituent member of the National Front. The leaders of the FDGB were also senior members of the ruling Socialist Unity Party.
Officially, membership in the FDGB was voluntary, but unofficially it was hardly possible to develop a career without joining. In 1986, 98% of all workers and employees were organized in the FDGB, which had 9.6 million members. This meant that it was nominally one of the world’s largest trade unions.

6th. World Youth Festival Moscow 1957 Perfume bottles in box. Sadly one bottle is missing. The text on the box reads:”6th. World Festival Of Youths And Students, Moscow, 1957″.
The 6th World Festival of Youth and Students was opened on 28 July 1957, in Moscow, Soviet Union. The festival attracted 34,000 people from 130 countries. This became possible after the political changes initiated by Nikita Khrushchev. It was the first World Festival of Youth and Students held in the Soviet Union.
A minor international incident was provoked around the attendance of left-wing Iraqi writer Ga’ib Tu’ma Farman at the festival. The Iraqi government revoked Farman’s citizenship while he was abroad, effectively stranding him in Moscow as a stateless person. This situation was resolved by the intervention of the Chinese delegation who agreed to officially invite Farman to Beijing. He went on to work for Foreign Languages Press.

It was developed in the Moscow office of the GIRD between 1932 and 1933 by Friedrich Zander and Sergei Koroljow, among others, from project 10 from 1928, which was not implemented.
After Zander died of typhus on March 28, 1933, Koroljow completed the work on the GIRD-X rocket alone. The first launch took place on November 25, 1933 in Nachabino near Moscow. The engine mount and fuel line broke at a height of around 80 m. As a result, the rocket deviated considerably from the intended vertical flight path and hit 150 m away from the launch point. The launch of the GIRD-X rocket, together with that of the previous GIRD-09 model, marked the birth of Soviet rocket technology.
