the badges. Middle and right are clear, the small red one on the left I am not sure, probably the head of Dimitrov on a red banner? Or something Soviet?

I hope it will be interesting to see some of the well known badges in wear. Sadly not much to show, but here are a few pictures.
First, a border guard busy with something:

Just a small note: he is Todor, not Fedor. You will find many Todor-s in Bulgaria /as well as some Theodor-s :rolleyes:/, but so far I've not heard of a Fedor in this land

I worry about you guys' dating chances.
"He" was a "she"-- Margarit.
No, he is he, he is not she Margarit is a male name - very rare seen, but only male name. The female is more commonly found, it is Margarita.
Nearly all Bulgarian female names end with letter A. Very few end with i or the typical Bulgarian letter YA. And sometimes the female names end with a consonant letter - very, very rare, usually names inspired from other countries /like Ivet /Yvette//.
Anyway, I was trying to say, even if the first name ends with a consonant letter, the other names should not. Consonant letter of second and third name - Male.
/I think it was a joke, but still giving this information to help you guys find out who is who in documents with no photos/

DKMS means Dimitrovski Komunisticheski Mladejki Sayuz - Dimitor's Communist Youth Union. The name used everywhere for it was Komsomol, despite the fact this comes from the name of the Soviet, not the Bulgarian organization.
But in the beginning - from 1947 to 1949 - the name was different - SNM. Sayuz na Narodnata Mladej - Union of the People's Youth.
On 22 December 1947 were merged: the Workers' Youth Union /RMS/, The Bulgarian Agrarian Youth Union, the leftist wing of the Union of the Socialist Youth and the Youth People's Union "Zveno". These were merged into the new organization - SNM.
On 9 July 1949, a week after the death of /the traitor, criminal and dictator/ Georgi Dimitrov, a Mourning Congress of the SNM was called and the decision was taken to rename the organization to DSNM - Dimitorv's Union of the Socialist Youth, in the name of the dead leader.
And on its IV Congress in 1958, the organization was renamed to DKMS.
Here are the two badges, the DKMS and the earlier SNM:

ha, the DKMS The incubator for young party members. Yes, most likely hundreds thousands, if not millions members. All youth /with very little exceptions/ had to join. Of course, the bad apples /youth with criminal behavior or from "fascist family"/ were not invited or were later expelled from that healthy organization and it was a big deal And those few who were considered Ok to join, but declared they would not - were talked to for a long time and some pressure on them to correct their wrong attitude and join... Of course, the refusals appeared at a later stage, in earlier years you would not get away with pissing on the values of the DKMS
....quite similar to the Party joining troubles, but with the Party it was worse! The uncle was considered a good specialist and a good person, thus HAD to join the Party. In result, he had to change his job twice, when the pressure to join the Party would become too strong /that was done on the level of the particular institution, so going elsewhere to work did help save himself from becoming a Party Member /. And also being non-member, he did not get promoted in the work as much and as fast as he should have been - it did not matter if you have knowledge and skills, the Party status was important!
Anyway back to the badges. Some guy worked well for the DKMS

I think 134 is number of the badge and 97 is a number of some document. This line reads Prot.... /from Protocol/, Resh..... /from Reshenie - Rsolution/. So I think the 97 is the document of some institution for the awarding
