Lenin's Badge?
In some pictures, Lenin is wearing a badge/pin. Do any of you know what it was?

A very good point, Tal. I haven´t seen Lenin with that pin, but i have seen him with a red ribbon in the same place.

On the same pic, but with a better quality and definition, it terribly looks like a simple button...
Specifically if you consider that you can see what looks like another button of the coat on his right side !! Am I wrong ? Ch. Quote:

Yep,
it looks like that the mysterious badge seems to be only a button! Jussi-Pekka |

Maybe Lenin kept that rosette just as the symbol of revolution?
During the revolution and after that a red ribbon rosette or a red piece of textile was used in a quite large scale to show that you support the reds instead the whites. Many "ordinary" people used them for just security reasons, not for a political reasons. People copied that habit from the communists. Jussi-Pekka |

I think Jussi-Pekka is right about it being just a rosette...
Here are a few pics:

Yes, fine, but to what degree did this practice become the model for the backing rosettes on the first orders? Isn't this the origin? OK, we may never know, but . . . ?

Ed,
I always thought it was there to protect the clothing from award itself and it's/their edges. You have to keep in mind that at that time most men only had one jacket where they displayed the awards and the hole tended to rip/cut the jacket so the rosette helped to keep the award in place and prolong the life of the jacket. Rusty.
