That looks like the mark of
Carl Schlieper, Remscheid, Germany

The lettering on the axe looks something like Mark Eye in another language, which could correspond to "Eye Brand" as shown above.

The words stamped on the axe look like the Russian words:
марка
ОКО

...which Google translates to:
mark
EYE

FWIW,
"Russia helped liberate Germany in 1812-15 in the Napoleonic Wars, and the two were generally friendly for a century. Germany fought against Russia in World War I (1914-1918). Relations were warm in the 1920s, very cold in the 1930s, friendly in 1939-41, and then turned into war to the death 1941-45. In the 1920s both countries co-operated with each other in trade and (secretly) in military affairs..."
(Wikipedia)

That "eye" trademark was registered in Germany (number 16464) in 1896, and the application was filed in 1875, according to WIPO Global Brand Database.

Name and address of the applicant or the holder of the registration:
Carl Schlieper e.K.
42659 Solingen, DE

In the 1950s, Carl Schlieper K.G. also got that eye trademark registered in Malaysia and Singapore.

It figures, Solingen. That area has always been the hot spot for steel tools.

This is gonna be a bit of a stretch: After 1945 Comrades used to pack whole Nazi factories on the trains and reassemble them in Russia. https://www.rferl.org/a/the-classic-western-cars-copied-by-the-soviets/28468695.html.
I doubt Soviets could get their hands on Remscheid factory, cause it was located in British occupation zone. However, after 1938 German industrialists took over factories in Czechoslovakia, Poland and started producing for German war effort. Maybe one of those factories run by Schlieper's engineers end up on the train heading east (Russians needed know-how to set up the factory, so some of Schlieper's employees were forced to move to USSR, too).

It's possible. Moving factories isn't just the recent phenomena of moving US factories to low wage nations in Latin America and Asia. The victors of WWII all took factories and technologies from the losers.

The Schlieper factory in Indonesia was evidently confiscated during WWII, according to this book:

Hello...last year my 97 year old father passed away. he worked for Crown Zellerbach in the 1930's as a logger on the west end of the Olympic Peninsula. he dropped lots of huge old growth timber. while going through his various treasures, I found an axe with the only markings on the axe head being the name COLLINS inside of a rectangle. no other designs/insignias. how might one arrive at a date/age of an old axe?

the blade is about 3 1/4 inch...the back of the head is squared off.

That one is in worded in Spanish as well.

Collins in a rectangle is a stamp that was used for about 100 years. You'd need some other distinguishing characteristics to even approximate the age. Good photos might help us pin it down to within a few decades.
