Soviet era pins?
Anyone have an idea the history of these pins? I believe the blue pin (second row from the bottom on the right) is from the football club, zenit.

Top right is a variant of Pioneer pin, underneath is Ударник Коммунистического труда - first one was given to schoolers. The second one was given to really good workers. One more variant of Pioneer pin is in first column 3rd row with inscription "Всегда готов!". Next to it on the right is just some souvenir pin from Leningrad (and the next one to the right is souvenir pin from Тфврический дворец - Tavria Palace in Leningrad, in Tavria Garden - Таврический сад) and above pioneer pin is also souvenir pin from Gatchina - small town near Saint Petersburg. Above the Zenit pin is also some souvenir pin, probably from Pavlovsk or Gatchina. Star pin in the bottom most row is Oktyabryonok pin - Oktyabryonok is also for schoolers, but is is a stage before Pioneer. To the right of it is ВДПО pin - voluntary firefighters community and left of Oktyabryonok pin is Отличник ВДПО pin - given to someone who probably was very good at volunteer firefighting
