Here is a complete uniform I own. It is for captain (as in master of the ship, not to be confused with the naval rank of captain x rank or army rank of captain).
This set was bought in Estonia and is for civil shipping, possibly post-Soviet. The buttons are all-Soviet but the sleeve ranks are not the usual. This might be a local difference or a post-Soviet distinct sleeve insignia of the shipping company.
On the left chest is a graduation badge from some Tallinn civil shipping navigation academy and on the collar is a enamel badge from the infamous "Estline" shipping company that actually operated the ferry "Estonia" which sank in 1994 in the Baltic sea.
