@Dmitry So the cap has a pin from Moscow, was made in Nizhny Novgorod, features a pin from Novgorod, and somehow made its way to the 1974 Ukrainian Spartakiad. That’s so awesome. I really need to dig, and figure out how I came to be in possession of this.

 

The biggest pin on the cap is the coat of arms of Russia in general. The cap was made in Knyaginino, about 100 km from Nizhny Novgorod.

It could be Cyrillic, but it looks modified from the Cyrillic I’m familiar with (which is very little obviously).

Looks like a stylized Early Cyrillic alphabet.

Yeah it seemed quite small, would size 56 be a “junior/youth” size?

Oh, cool. So the 1 and 2 Athletics pins would have been mid/high level recreational?  
 

There’s also a football pin with “футбол” (I think) on it. I’m assuming that just says “Football” or something.

 

The random Ski Jumping pin is also a weird addition. The pin reads “VIII зимова спартакlада УРСР”

For example now to take 1 category for men in 800 m need to reach 2:01.0. But those pins looks like a Soviet

Yes. "футбол" is just a football.

 

“VIII зимова спартакlада УРСР” is in Ukranian. VIII Winter Spartakiad of Ukranian SSR.

What about this @Dmitry? I’m assuming it just says “property of USSR” or “made in USSR” or something?

Any clue as to what the Russia word is? Does the number 3 mean anything? 
 

 

Yes, it is like a level of a person in this sport. For example if you reached some amateur result you achieved third sport category (РАЗРЯД) in this sport. 3rd or in some sport 4th is the lowest level. But 1st is not a peak after that there are some unnumbered ranks — those are more for professionals athletes.

The double eagle

It is the current Russian coat of arms.

The crest on the double eagle is of a horseback rider stabbing a dragon

It is a coat of arms of Moscow too

Kazakhstan's capital Astana will be renamed to Nursultan after the first president of the country Nursultan Nazarbayev has leaved the office. It will be the fifth name of the city which was created in 1830.

I remember that commentator prefer just to ignore athletes from     at the swimming world championships.
