Sorry if this isn't the right community to post this in. The hat was found while going through my friends grandmother's possessions after her passing.

    I'l try. Left to right, top row:

    Half cropped one: 3rd degree of i don't really know what. Probably from amateur sports event. | Basic red star with hammer and sickle: no idea what they are. | One with the ship: don't know. | "ударник XII пятилетки": what it says, yes. Somebody worked their ass off in five-year-plan and got this thing to show for it. | "гвардия": for service in soviet Red Guards. My granpa had one too. | Modern Russian CoA: no idea. | "I донор СССР": donor USSR 1st degree. Usually for blood donations. | "1941-1943 брянск": my grandfather had this one. Got if for beating nazis out of city of Bryansk, but it might be just a commemorative one and given to people who didn't actually fight there for other reasons. | Blood drop one: you could get pins like this just for blood donations. | "ВВМВД": i think that stands for "Внутренние Войска Министерства Внутренних Дел". Internal Forces of Internal Affairs Ministry.

    Middle, left-to-right:

    Sickle and hammer with wings: i think it just a basic pin from Aeroflot uniform. | French thingy one: don't know. | "воин-спортсмен I": from some army sports event? | "III донор СССР", like the one above, but third degree. | "1 разряд": another sports degree of… Some sports, i guess. | Backpack dude: no idea, can't read it in this resolution.

    Bottom, l-r: "отличник советской армии": for exceptional service in the soviet army, of course. My grandfather had a one like that but with a different design for some reason, i think? | 3: absolutely no idea. | "норильск CNC": no idea what it is and what it has to do with Norilsk. | That huge one: no idea. | "ударник коммунистического труда": probably related to 4th in first row. | "moscow treasures": idk. | Next one: "пожарно-технич(еская?) выставка калинин": firefighting equipment exhibition in Kalinin, apparently.
