Re: what labor medal please?

I'm no expert, and I have never seen that particular medal before. However the front refers to ВДНХ, a kind of expose of the different ethnic groups domestic products and achievements. The Back says for sucess in the people's agricultural economy, roughly.
My best guess, and only a guess, is that it is like a 4H award.Where did you get it?

Thanks ATS, and welcome to the forum. It's nice to see new members posting.

Hi Eric,

This is a participant's medal of the VSKhV, the forerunner of the VDNKh. There are several versions with and without the X on the tractor grill, together with screwback and pinback varieties.
