✅ SOLVED Do you speak Russian? Help identify this Token.

I found this today. After doing some googling I figured out it may be a token from Russia.
Unfortunately, everything i am finding on the token is written in Russian!
My question is...what is it for and how old might it be?

Here is the front and back...very close with only a few differences in words at the top.


Thanks Comrades!

Any ideas on its age and what city its from?

The city is Nizhny Novgorod and Numista lists it as being 1992-2010. Definitely not an everyday find, wonder how the token ended up here?
