Unfortunately I don't know more, but let's expect some of our Russian friend tells us something more ... ;-)

Yes, Stecol. It`s special fuze UMP (УМП) for antitank mine-field UMP-2 (УМП-2). It`s Soviet device :)
 
And now for the one million dollar question; how is it activated? Acoustic, Magnetic, vibrations, pressure ?

Provides closure electroexplosive circuit fuse when hit by a tank track (wheels car)
 
As stated by Ivashkin and bar5428 the UMP fuze is part of a AT controlled minefield system named UMP-2.

Here are some data about the UMP-2 system.
