It was founded on 21 March 1957 (on the anniversary of the Hungarian Soviet Republic’s declaration in 1919), following the break of 1956 Hungarian Revolution. It claimed to represent all the country’s youth and sought to educate young people politically and to supervise political as well as some social activities for them. KISZ was the most important source of new members for the party. Its organizational framework paralleled that of the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party and included a congress, central committee, secretariat, and regional and local committees. Membership was open to youth from the ages of fourteen to twenty-six years, but most of the full-time leaders of the organization were well over the age limit. In the 1980s, KISZ had about 800,000 members. Membership was common among students (96% at universities, 75% in high schools) but was lower among young people already working (31%). It was mandatory for university admittance.

The Workers’ Party of Korea is the founding and ruling political party of North Korea. It is the largest party in North Korea with two other legal parties making up the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland. However, these minor parties are completely subservient to the WPK and must accept the WPK’s “leading role” as a condition of their existence.It was founded in 1945 with the merger of the Workers’ Party of North Korea and the Workers’ Party of South Korea. The WPK also controls the Korean People’s Army.
The WPK is organized according to the Monolithic Ideological System and the Great Leader, a system and theory conceived by Kim Yong Ju and Kim Jong Il. Although the WPK is organizationally similar to communist parties, in practice it is far less institutionalized and informal politics plays a larger role than usual.Kim Jong Un is the current WPK leader, serving as Chairman.
The WPK is committed to Juche, an ideology which has been described as a combination of collectivism and nationalism.

Cigarette box Soldier with PPsH machine gun, Moscow, Shield, Industry, CCCP
There solid cigarette box with the border of the Soviet Union and the letters CCCP
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.

Cold war German training 102 planes and helicopters. 1950-1977. 4 boxes complete with original frames and all planes, a must for the purist plane collector. USA, CCCP, Germany, France, England and Canada models.
Each box has 4 hook closures and 2 locks and can be opened on 2 sides. Beautiful sky blue sprayed on the inside, planes sit on metal pins with top and bottom rubber discs to keep them in place, all planes are also sprayed in shadow on the bottom plate so that everything comes back in the right place. The shadows have numbers that correspond to the frame on the lid.
The models are official and original ID models, which are manufactured under state supervision by the authorities of the German Ministry of Defense. All 102 models are named and arranged by number and NATO code and sorted in one of the four large wooden boxes.
In the 4 marked boxes are all types of military aircraft to identify “friend or foe”. Each case has an ingenious one-board-two-cover system, always one side at a time. Inside the chests are all types of military aircraft and helicopters from the USSR, US, UK, Canada, France and Germany that were active during the Cold War in the North Atlantic region.
The models are arranged in 2 areas; the “North Atlantic Treaty Organization” – NATO – and the communist “Treaty of Cooperation and Mutual Assistance” – previously referred to as “Warsaw Pact”.
Most recognition models (the smaller ones) are made of metal and have a great shape and design. The larger items also look nice and are made of composite material, which improves the portability (weight) of the boxes. There are also models made of metal and composite material. The set – supposed to be current until the end of the seventies – is very special.
It is a great set that you will probably never encounter again. Boxes are 63x43x13cm./ 25×16.9×5.1inch. Total weight is 34500 grams, 34.5 kilos/76lb.. I do not know the scale of the aircraft, the largest is a CCCP An-22 aircraft of 27.5cm./10.8inch. and the smallest is a USA OH-58 “kowa” Helicopter.

Silk retirement cloth from the NVA, the National People’s Army. The text says:”Serviced with Honour, NVA”. New state in it’s original bag. The text on the bag says:”Serviced with honour until the last day”.
The National People’s Army (NVA) was the armed forces of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from 1956 to 1990.
The NVA was formed in 1956 to succeed the Kasernierte Volkspolizei (Barracked People’s Police) and influenced by the Soviet Army, becoming one of the Warsaw Pact militaries opposing NATO during the Cold War. The majority of NATO officers rated the NVA the best military in the Warsaw Pact based on discipline, thoroughness of training, and the quality of officer leadership.
The NVA did not see significant combat but participated in the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, deployed military advisors to communist governments in other countries, and manned the Berlin Wall where they were responsible for numerous deaths. The NVA was dissolved in 1990 and its facilities and equipment were handed over to the Bundeswehr (the armed forces of West Germany), which also absorbed most of its personnel below the rank of non-commissioned officer.

The Border Troops of the German Democratic Republic was the border guard of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from 1946 to 1990.
The Grenztruppen were the primary force guarding the Berlin Wall and the Inner German border. The force belonged to the Ministry of National Defence (MfNV) from 1961, and was a service branch of the National People’s Army until 1971 when it became directly subordinate to the MfNV. The Border Troops numbered approximately 47,000 personnel at its peak, consisting of volunteers and conscripts, the third largest Warsaw Pact border guard after Soviet Union and Poland.
The Grenztruppen main role was preventing Republikflucht, the illegal migration from the GDR, and were controversially responsible for many deaths at the Berlin Wall. At least 29 border guards were killed in the line of duty, and many faced criminal charges after German Reunification.

Red armband from the “Helfer Der Volkspolizei” meaning volunteer helper of the people’s police.
The FH was established by the East German government in 1952. Its function was to assist the Volkspolizei (“People’s Police”) in fighting crime and border violation and protecting public goods. The FH had the right to control traffic and were also called upon to take part in search and manhunt operations. Furthermore, there was intended to be an educational effect for the East Germans, because the FH volunteers were on patrol in residential areas and workplaces. The FH volunteers fulfilled their patrol missions in plain clothes, but were identifiable by their armband. The FH was disbanded a few days before German reunification in 1990.

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.

Waving flag for parades. Made from paper and with a plastic stick. The waving flag containes the logo of Young Pioneers and the text says:”be prepared”.
The Ernst Thalmann Pioneer Organisation, consisting of the Young Pioneers and the Thälmann Pioneers, was a youth organisation of schoolchildren aged 6 to 14. They were named after Ernst Thälmann, the former leader of the Communist Party of Germany who was executed at the Buchenwald concentration camp.
The group was a subdivision of the Freie Deutsche Jugend (FDJ, Free German Youth), East Germany’s youth movement. It was founded in 1948 and broke apart in 1989 on German reunification. From the 1960s and 1970s, nearly all schoolchildren between ages 6 and 14 were organised into Young Pioneer or Thälmann Pioneer groups.
The pioneer group was loosely based on Scouting, but organised in such a way as to teach schoolchildren aged 6 – 14 socialist ideology and prepare them for the Freie Deutsche Jugend, the FDJ. Its organisation was similar to Scouting and other such organisations. Afternoons spent at the pioneer group mainly consisted of a mixture of adventure, myth-like socialist teaching and the upkeep of revolutionary traditions.

The Society for German–Soviet Friendship (in German, Gesellschaft für Deutsch-Sowjetische Freundschaft/DSF) was an East German organization set up to encourage closer co-operation between the German Democratic Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
It was founded as the Society for the Studies of Soviet Culture to teach about Russian culture to Germans unfamiliar with it. It quickly turned into a propaganda tool and eventually changed its name.
Due to the immense popularity of Mikhail Gorbachev with ordinary East Germans disillusioned with their own hardline Communist leaders, the DSF’s membership grew massively in the last years of the regime which many interpret as a sign of support of Gorbachev’s glasnost and perestroika. In 1989 there were 6.3 million members.

Waving hand held paper flag wich was distributed amoung the population for waving at parades. made of paper and with plastic stick. The flag contains the logo of the FDJ.
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.

Waving hand held paper flag wich was distributed amoung the population for waving at parades. made of paper and with plastic stick. The flag contains the logo of the SED, the Socialist Unity Party of Germany.
The Socialist Unity Party of Germany was the governing Marxist–Leninist political party of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from the country’s foundation in October 1949 until its dissolution after the Peaceful Revolution in 1989. The party was established in April 1946.
The GDR was a one-party state but other institutional popular front parties were permitted to exist in alliance with the SED, these parties being the Christian Democratic Union, the Liberal Democratic Party, the Democratic Farmers’ Party, and the National Democratic Party. The SED made the teaching of Marxism-Leninism and the Russian language compulsory in schools. In the 1980s, the SED rejected the liberalisation policies of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, such as perestroika and glasnost, which would lead to the GDR’s isolation from the restructuring USSR and the party’s downfall in the autumn of 1989.

Space age red rocket lamp from Sovjet Russia. On top of the lamp is a rocket. When dark it looks like the rocket being launched with a red beam. These lamps were very populair in the Sovjet Union. These lamps were made in the legendary Yuzmash factory were also real rockets were being produced.
The lamp was dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the first Yuriy Gagarin’s flight into space. Initially, in the project documentation the working title was “The First Start into Space”, but later it was replaced by a shorter “Rocket”. The launch of the first batch began in January 1971. The “Rocket” night light immediately became popular among soviet buyers, in spite of being quite expensive for that times (about one sixth of the Soviet person’s salary). The “Rocket” went into retail in a small, limited quantity, most of which went to awards as valuable gifts for production leaders and party functionaries. That’s why this vintage thing causes sustained interest even today.
The lamp comes in various models. The lamps with a red beam are more rarer then the white beam lamps. The bottom ring comes in various colors like green, blue (rare), and white. The ring with the images is mostly like the lamp pictured as above with images such as: Aerospace, peace, frienship, industry, constitution, 25th. congress, 70th. birthday of Lenin, revolution, industrylization, hero workers and the great patriotic war. There is also a known lamp with only space images. The lamps are known for the 23rd., 24th., 25th., 26th., and 27th. congress. The earlier type of this lamp has got to litghbulbs inside and the more recent has got 1 lightbulb.

This hammer and sickle tie is made in the Netherlands. Transworld was a shipping agency in Rotterdam Harbour for handling Soviet cargo ships.
As the story goes Transworld was a cover up for Soviet spies and KGB agents. They wanted to know how the Dutch Secret Service (BVD) worked, how the Rotterdam harbour can be taken out in wartime and on what location USA army cargo was being processed.
Although this story was never confirmed, the Dutch Secret Service kept a close eye on the company. Transworld started in 1972 and went bankrupt in 1995.

This is a Workers Guardian patch from Hungary.
A Workers Guardian was a worker who was trained much like the miliairy in order for the civil defense of Hungary. The militairy budget of Hungary was drastically reduced in order to give the people a better living standard.
Millions of working class people (labours) trained with rifles, mortars, machine guns and artillery to support the regular army in case of war. All this was originated by Janos Kadar who was the communist leader of Hungary who ruled over Hungary from 1956 untill his retirement in 1988. He ruled for 32 years and died in 1989.
