From what I found online they are commemoration badges for Soviet "Hero Cities of WW2" I don't have the full set apparently or the white paper presentation box the set came in.Originally Posted by pocoloco
The pins in the second pic are for different Russian cities. I have some from the mid 80s, yours look much cooler

There is no Bulgarian piece in the images in the first post. All Cyrillic is Russian. And the triple medal is from 1985, not from 1968. It is Hungarian, Czechoslovak and Soviet.
Nice collection, by the way. I gave mine, a smaller one, to my brother and now it is gone...
Orange picture
top left says "people keep awake", what is alleged quote of poet Julius Fucik, executed by Nazis during the WWII
top right says "Communist party of Czechoslovakia - with the 2nd Squadron for the majority of the nation" - probably pre-election badge; our last free election in 1948
