Object history

This badge was owned by Hackney councillor Peter Kahn. Hackney was a 'linked district' with Krasnaya Presnya, then in the Soviet Union (USSR), from the late 1960s, and the twinning was still active until 1990. As part of the twinning, Peter visited Moscow as part of a twinning delegation, and hosted representatives while visiting in Hackney.
