I think they go on the chest opposite of where the classification badges go. One of the pics of the em guys in the red regs book (I think) shows the pin in wear.

And I believe the civvy version is pinback, not screwback, but otherwise the same.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again
I got this one a couple days ago, scanned it, and then forgot to post it.
I like this as it's dated 1951 and has a nice picture of our boy in uniform.

Yeah, it is kinda nice. I'm trying to focus on earlier paper items- 40s and 50s.
Thankfully there still seems to be little interest in collecting Soviet paper goods. Although a GPW-era soldier's ID in poor shape sold for $26.50 on eBay the other day.

And here's a Komsomol (I think?) badge. Nicely marked MMA screwplate and marked on the reverse of the badge as well. A nice example I think.
I believe that these are the military versions.
