From the obvious design, it's a firefighter's badge and one of the cyrillic "P"s would be pozharnik, or firefighter.

Could it be противо-пожарная дружина?

Jeff,

In StP, any badge of this vintage goes for at least $100~$150 for the common ones.

Jeff,

The badge is genuine, and it's quite hard to find too.
