Hmm. Interesting.
Well, I am bad when it comes to using the English terminology in reference to technical terms, but what I can tell you is that this is some form of ID pass that lets you in some area, probably with a higher level of security.
The word on the outside (Propusk), which is actually repeated once on the inside, means "Pass".
The ID was issued to Ivan Mikhailovich Afanin, and signed by the commander (Russian ~ Komendant).
I tried to read the words on the seal, and out of 4 words I can decipher 3: "????? Akademii Gen. Shtaba" which literally translates to:
"????? of the Academy of the General Headquarters". Genshtab is basically where the top of the top are. (the upper command)
Hope this helps at least a little.
