Scene depicts the State Emblem of the Soviet Union which was adopted in 1923 and was used until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Although it technically is an emblem rather than a coat of arms, since it does not follow traditional heraldic rules, in Russian it is called герб (gerb), the word used for a traditional coat of arms.

Translation:

PIONEERS!

Your pledge has miraculous words: love your Fatherland dearly, live, study and fight, as the Great Lenin commanded, as the Communist Party...". All generations of young pioneers were faithful to this Today the Red Pioneer Ensign is in your hands, pioneers of the seventies.

(13th anniversary of the XVI Congress of the Komsomol to all pioneers of the Radyansky Union).

Historical context:

The All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, usually known as Komsomol, was a political youth organization in the Soviet Union. It is sometimes described as the youth division of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), although it was officially independent and referred to as "the helper and the reserve of the CPSU".
