It's missing the screw,and only text is in the rudders lower part: VIMPEL (pennant) in cyrillic letters.

Given the badge features a helm (not rudder) and a horizon, I would look toward the quartermaster (navigator) end of things- perhaps even the coxswain (small craft) area. In our own navy, the helm is the rating badge for a quartermaster, and I believe this holds true in most navies. What gets me is the lone star, without the hammer and sickle. This is odd. Great looking badge though.
