Typical tourist souvenir piece. Don't recognise this maker but I have a feeling this comes from the St. Petersburg area (Ladoga).

The red piping indicates an officer's hat.
You have some nice medals attached to it actually, the Guards unit pin for example and the pin for military excellence.
The patches are , from left to right : arm patch for infantry ( rifle ) units in the Red Army, likely from the 80s, general arm patch for Russia armed forces (after 1990), and the right one is a patch for the red Army Airborne.
The text reads :
LPO Ladoga (likely the factory, I have found references to other hats made wityh this printing)
F ka Sovremennitza 92 g ( not sure about the F and ka, but the rest means Contemporary and 92 god, so year 1992
Below I can make out the second row which means 1 Sort, so top quality.
So, the pilotka is legit, remove the pincs and the patches and you have a nice officer's hat
-
1SORT is size indication (1 out of 3) and does not refer to quality if I am correct. 56 is another size marking.

I checked the writing more carefully now and this is what it says..
Upper stamp
ЛПО Ладога (ЛПО = Л Производственное объединение)
фабрика Современница 92 год
56
Lower stamp
Отдел Технического Контроля №9
1 Сорт
1 is IMHO a quality stamp from the quality check department.
