<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Natasha, post: 330670, member: 3724&quot;]Cool Soviet propaganda figurine that I have had for a few years. The most remakable about it is its title: OSOAVIAKHIMOVKA. Needs explanation. In 1927-1948 in the Soviet Union existed Defence Assistance Society. It was a political defence organization. Officially it was a voluntary organization. The aim was to defend the Soviet motherland from capitalist aggressors. All &quot;conscious&quot; citizens had to join this organization. Women, and even children, were encouraged. </p><p>So, the figurine represents a &quot;conscious&quot; young woman who who after work learns how to shoot the rifle. The piece is pretty rare, was made at Gorodnitsa porcelain factory in 1935-1940. Original stamp, height 21 cm, rifle butt missing.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]110532[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110533[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
