This is a commemorative badge from Blagoveshchensk (Russian: БЛАГОВЕЩЕНСК), a city during the Soviet Union era. This badge is modeled after the design of the Order of the October Revolution, established on October 31, 1967, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. In the center, a red star and flag design featuring the hammer and sickle, symbols of the Soviet Union, can be seen. The lower part depicts buildings representing the city's industries and architecture, and a wave pattern representing a river or the sea. The Russian word "БЛАГОВЕЩЕНСК" at the bottom of the badge refers to Blagoveshchensk, the capital of the Amur Oblast in the Russian Far East. Decorative metal badge featuring Blagoveshchensk.
