Never seen this poor portrait before.

it's KAZAN Suvorov school.

1) Someone should check Scott and Scott which lists all the Soviet schools and see if there was a Suvorov school in Kazan.

2) I have several of these shiny ones with the school names - all are unissued and cheap looking. I have one genuine Suvorov badge without school name - it is heavy construction and high quality.

Suvorov and Nakhimov kadet school graduation badges.

To try to put some life back into this moribund thread . . .

Here are a few. I can't tell if these are late or just fake. They clearly differ from what is in ABEPC 8, p. 488. Comments welcomed.

I assume the middle one is post-Soviet?

And three school-specific badges: Leningrad, Kiev, and Minsk.

I have found the website Суворовское военное училище to be useful especially for those schools that still exist.

Yes, the middle is post-Soviet.

I was unaware of this thread, otherwise I have two or three much earlier Suvorov badges, I'm assuming from the 40's-60's period. Unfortunately they are in deep storage - I guess something to post for the future.
