From CM's avatar? Apparently it's the badge used by the Russian Cosmonauts. Or at least that's what he told me at his forum.

I've seen a couple of things relating to KKN. It's the acronym for the Korean language, or it can be the Indonesian acronym for corruption, collusion and nepotism. In which case it fits well with the communist star.

It's not "N"; it's the Cyrillic letter I, the "backward N".

If you have seen 2010: The Year We Make Contact by Peter Hyams* then this seal will look familiar to you.

It's a Russian Star Seal. The Patch was worn on the Leonov commanders flight uniform.

So if you thought I was Communist then I suggest you put your gun down and go watch the movie instead, don't forget buttered popcorn, and a soft drink of your choice.

*Correction.

Club,

You always find unusual and interesting items. I will have to watch the movie again. I did not think Kubrick was involved in 2010 only 2001.

Yes I think he produced 2001, forgot who produced the other part.

Correction, Pete Hyams directed 2010.

2010 was an interesting movie. I liked 2001 much more. I didn't mean to imply you were a pinko-commi ClubMed.

So what do the letters in the middle of the star stand for?
