I'm kidding about Moscow because I don't believe this badge was made in any of the factories/mints there. The quality of the details is too low.
However, I found this piece "simply irresistible" a while back on ePay (my apologies if the other person bidding on it was a forum member).
Though the Soviets loved their acronyms, they did not have CSIs; this one was for a "Forensic Medical Expert."
I have to assume that is a shield with the crossed swords of the justice branch, though the quality really isn't very good. It is, however, a heavy brass piece so age may be a factor in that.

P.S. I tried to crop the pictures to have "larger" images, but I'm running into errors probably because the battery was near dead when I took the original photos.
