Comments

Soviet collective farm scrip — known broadly as kolkhozni znaky or simply "labor coupons" — circulated as internal currency across thousands of Ukrainian and Russian farms well into the late Soviet period. Radhosp Peremoga ("Victory State Farm") in the Volhyn region issued these against labor credits, redeemable at the farm's own store. The NVO Elita designation identifies the farm's production collective within the agricultural association structure that governed Soviet agribusiness after the 1965 Kosygin reforms.

Most of these vouchers were never preserved — they were spent, torn, or disposed of after the collective stores closed following Ukrainian independence. Volhyn examples are particularly thin on the ground in Western collections.
