This pin was produced to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution, celebrated in 1977 across the USSR. Belarus produced its own themed pins, often featuring national costumes, the BSSR flag (visible at the top), and symbols of agriculture or culture.
So this is a 1977 VDNH BSSR 60th Anniversary October Revolution souvenir pin.
