Just a quick background: the wife of one of my dad's colleagues was born in soviet Russia and when she discovered my interest in that matter she immediately gifted me with all these pins.
The problem is that she gave them to my parents and they to me, so I didn't get to listen to the story of each one of those. Can you please help me?

Used to wear the B2 pin to school as a kid :)
Found explanations for some, hope it helps:
A1 - Russian Soviet Red Star Pin
The Russian Store's collection of Soviet Era pins can be extraciting for a collector. Each of these authentic vintage pins was made in Russia before the collapse of the Soviet Union. This pin/badge has two prongs on the back. In order to attach it to the hat, gently bring the prongs together, insert folded prongs into a previously made hole on the hat, and then spread them apart underneath.
B2 - Red Oktyabryonok Star Pin
This metallic star pin features a likeness of Vladimir Lenin as a young boy on a pin worn by the Oktyabryonok - Little Octobrist. Oktyabryata were a youth organization for children between 7 and 9 years of age in the Soviet Union, the firs step to a Communist Porty. Every Little Oktyabryonok wore this star pin (badge) with the portrait of Vladimir Lenin (Ulyanov) in his childhood.
D2 - Russian Soviet Komsomol Pin
