Hi niceguy1 -

(Know your marks! Check/search "Worldmarks" - Latvia - here on the forum! A lot of people worked hard to provide you with informations! Please use them!)

Not Soviet but Latvian/Riga.

That is the mark of Latvia:

Although the outline appears circular in your image, it should in fact be ovular as per the above illustration.

Yes, the oval mark is Latvia's control mark for silver. However, the circular mark is not an actual hallmark but a warrant mark used in Latvia 1927-1940. It was punched on silver objects with attached parts as an indication of assay.

Forgot to tell that the oval shaped hallmark was implemented 1994. I believe that it is a remarking done after 1994. The original hallmark is the 875-mark from 1922-1940.
