It's a pipe tomahawk. Which supports my theory that a tribe of Comanche Indians was fighting with Napoleon against the Russians.

It appears to be a 20th century Russian domestic meat axe. Check the place where the blade gets suddenly thick - it was common to make those from two separate pieces: flat blade inserted into a turned steel body via a slot and riveted in place. I believe such axes are still being made in small workshops, they were also quite popular as 'gulag work', highly embellished.
