    These look a lot like the flood of pins that came out of the former USSR after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 90s. One or two even look like ones I have.

    Seems like they're selling now for about $1.50/pin. https://www.etsy.com/sg-en/listing/665367664/set-of-5-enamel-pins-vladimir-lenin

    One of the oddest I've seen is a "Moscow Giants" football helmet pin which was a failed attempt to bring US football to Russia, a "Kapitalist" venture, you might say.

    Hello Mart, welcome.
    These are Soviet pins, five of them are with the image of Lenin. The pictures are not very clear, so I do not see the wording on the others. Thousands of pins were produced during the soviet era, most were dedicated to some political event. I have the set of propaganda pins made for the XXIV Communist party congress made in 1970-71. They are for sale. If you are interested please let me know.

    Very possibly. How much are you asking for the set?

    I like those old Soviet propaganda pins for no good reason. They're fun.

    It's the enamelling. You could enamel chocolate and make it better.
