I can say right off that the two uppers are Socialist Bulgarian... The third might be also.

The one on the bottom right is Tsarist Russian.

[Martin DK]

Thank you RichieC

Can you tell me something about the Russian Tsarist badge?

Would it be possible to see the other side of the Russian medal?

One might note some small differences between the illustrations linked above and example here.

Has the image of the example here been placed "after-the-fact" on a blue background? If yes, is the original image available?

Thank you very much for your knowledge.
Now I also know why there are traces of solder on the back.
