Vintage soviet USSR pin badge - Petrushka - puppet character - USSR pin - vintage soviet badge - 1980s

Petrushka is a stock character of USSR folk puppetry. It was first introduced by traveling Italian performers in the first third of the 19th century. While most core characters came from Italy, they were soon transformed by the addition of material from the USSR cultural context. Petrushkas are traditionally hand puppets. The character is a kind of a jester, a slapstick protagonist distinguished by his red dress, a red kolpak, and often a long nose.
