That's the flag of the Minister of Defense for the USSR. I believe it would be flown if he were on board at the time.

When I was a member of the crew of the USS New Jersey (BB-62), and because of the status of the ship, we carried a number of flags in anticipation of visits by high-ranking officials such as various Admiral ranks, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of Defense, President and V.P., etc.. I believe the situation was much the same in the Soviet Navy.
