During Soviet Epoch OSVOD was a voluntary public lifesaving
organization. The society’s aims are to prevent accidents, to
cooperate in teaching the population, especially children, to swim and
perform rescues, to assist the rescue service in every way, to
regulate the use of small boats by amateurs, to develop new models of
rescue equipment, and to work out problems of water rescue.

I picked up this flag on eBay a couple weeks ago. The text below is
the description that was provided by the seller. It was shipped from Ukraine:
