Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
In an email written to me in response to my question to him on the subject, Oleg Kalugin confirmed that, as a KGB General, he wore the uniform of an army General officer "on special occasions."

Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
Guys,
This is a topic on the same level as the one about the Loch Ness Monster... I believe that it has been clearly established by now that: . KGB generals never wore dark-blue piped M54 and later uniforms, they were using red-piped ones. . Genuine dark-blue piped M54 parade uniforms do exist, but have nothing to do with the KGB. They were designed and used by the MVD following the 1959 reform and up until the 1970 reform, which changed their piping color to red and brick-red. . Photographic evidence also confirms these facts. I believe that I have posted before in some other thread the pictures below: general A.A. Kurkov's service uniform (displayed in the StP History Museum of the Political Police, on loan from the StP Museum of Political History). Can we, please, put this one fairytale to rest once and for all and keep going forward, instead of running circles around the same dead horse every so often?

Re: NKVD-KGB: Rise Through the Ranks
So Marc, you're seriously trying to tell me this wasn't a cosmonaut space suit?
