It's for a military-aeronautical faculty member at VPA...I'm assuming an air academy. I see no reason for it to be fake...the value is around $3-$5 USD. Hope that helps!

Gents,

As NavyFCO notes, the badge denotes a member of the Air Force faculty at the ВПА - Military Political Academy.

Nice the bottom medal appears to be either a Distinguished Conduct or a Military Medal (Only 2 DCMs and 7 MMs awarded to Russian during WWI) so a super rare set.

Thank you for the added detail. As he is named, a review of period Gazettes may establish which British decoration he received.
