Long before Movember (when you grow a moustache in November) and other quirky but largely pointless distractions. 'Lenin Saturdays' was a month where you could give up your Saturday and perform free labour, usually around your town, and in return you were awarded this pin badge.
The scheme ran for many years. (I know it ran from 1975 - 1981 as badge exist in this period)
