ID or information about this Russian mine?

Hi, This is a solid resin training copy of a mine I have not seen before. I was told it is a Russian AP mine. It is 125mm in diameter and 65mm tall, including the fuze. The only markings are visible in the first picture. Does anyone have any information about this mine? I would appreciate any pictures or information about it. Regards, Rob

This isn't a landmine, but a device to convert any artillery shell or mortar bomb (range 82-152 mm) in an AP bounding mine.
Its name is UVK

Thank you Stecol and Ivashkin for the helpful answers and the link. It's nice to finally know what this thing is. I see now that I never found info about it before because I thought it was a mine and so I was looking for it in the wrong places!
