USSR Collection: Massive Lenin Bust (Cast Iron, 1985, dated/signed) & Embroidered Red Flag (Mid-20th Century) - Representative collection of historical originals from the Soviet Union (USSR), consisting of a significant cast-iron bust of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and a matching Soviet state flag. Details of the objects: 1. Lenin Bust: Material: Solid cast iron, with a typical dark/bronze-colored patina. Dimensions: Height approx. 23 cm. Weight: Very heavy and massive. Marking: Detailed marked on the back with the artist's name, the factory name, and the year 1985 (clearly legible embossing), which proves its authenticity and dating directly before the Perestroika era. 2. Soviet Red Flag: Material: Classic red cotton fabric (authentic feel). Dimensions: Approx. 60 cm x 120 cm (ideal format). Execution: Both sides are artfully embroidered with the hammer and sickle symbol. This is a significantly higher quality execution than the later usual printed flags. Dating: Mid-20th century, based on the embroidery technique and fabric quality.
