Not specifically familiar with it but I believe it says Glory to the Red Army on the obverse. It's marked to the Moscow Mint on the reverse but with a Pobeda factory marked screwplate.

This is a shield.
The screwplate isn't original to shield.
Two clasps places clearly seen on the back side.

Thank you guys for all help
It's ww2 ?

No, it's postwar.
Wartime name of soviet armed forces is - Red Army.
It was changed to Soviet Army later.

John,

I believe this badge was specifically for a participant in the 1945 Victory Day parade. I cannot absolutely vouch for it's authenticity, but it looks good from the photos. Looks as though it was originally pin backed (vertical), but was converted to a screw back- better for a military uniform.

Here are some pics of the original prongs on it:
