EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Ready for Labour and Defence of the USSR (GTO)" badge from the 1930s. Created by Orders, Decorations, and Medals, this piece is a true testament to the spirit of women in sports during that era. The image captures both men and women engaged in vigorous training sessions, highlighting their dedication towards physical fitness and overall health. The badge symbolizes power, youthfulness, and modernity as it represents athleticism within Soviet Russia. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on physical education and bodybuilding during those times. This historical artifact holds great significance not only for its artistic value but also for its role in political propaganda. As we delve into history through this photograph, we witness how working women were encouraged to participate actively in athletics under the communist regime's influence. The GTO badge became an emblem of pride for athletes across the Soviet Union. With porcelain enamel on steel construction, this fine art piece stands as a remarkable example of glyptics and medals from that period. Preserved within a private collection today, it continues to evoke memories of Stalinism while representing an important milestone in the women's movement. Through numismatics and visual storytelling techniques employed by Orders, Decorations, and Medals' artist (s), this print allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty of this object as well as its historical context within Soviet society.
