Dai Lloyd Davies, Secretary of Mardy Lodge brought the banner back from Moscow. He had accepted it on behalf of the British workers and their wives from the women of Krasnaya Presna, when he’d been in Moscow during the 1926 lockout to acknowledge the financial support given to South Wales miners by the Russians.

It was deposited at the SWML in 1974, having been located in the office of the Communist Party in Cardiff.
