Medical Institute Graduate Badges.

[UQWozza]

I have a few of these badges in my collection. Several of my University colleagues are Russian and they have told me the following about these badges that I have in my collection:

Showing the general evolution of the badges for Medical Institute Graduates from the 1960s to the 1990s.

1. 1960s - Gilt brass & enamels with 3-piece construction. Screwback. Made by Monetny Dvor in Moscow.

2. 1970s-80s - Aluminium & enamels with 3-piece construction. Screwback. Made by Monetny Dvor in Moscow.

3. 1980s-90s - Aluminium & enamels with 3-piece construction. Screwback. Made by Monetny Dvor.

Can anybody confirm this info?

Simon,
Nice little collection you have there.
As to the information I'm sure one of the badge experts can confirm that it is correct, it seems ok to me. However the #3. 1980s-90's badge is from a College or Higher Medical School rather than a Medical University.

Regards Eddie.

It's been a long time since I last posted my collection. The 50 kb was the main problem. I now have a great program a friend gave me that works great. So, here's my Medical Academy Graduate Badges. First up...

#3, 4 & 5
Another one I need help with. I think that 4 & 5 are Moscow Military Medical academy Badges. Why are they shaped different?

Doc,

I have never seen #3, that's a cool one.

#4 is for Medical Institute, while #5 is for Medical University. As far as I know, both of these are civilian versions.

Thanks Marc!!! I really liked #3. I have never seen one like it. It would be GREAT to get it ID'd.

Hi!
There are not and were not any Military medical academies in Moscow! Military medical academy is (was) situated in St.-Petersburg (Leningrad). #3 is unofficial issue for this Military medical academy. It was produced not in USSR but in Russian Federation for private order. Such emblem as at #3 badge was never used in USSR. It is restored emblem of medics of Russian Empire. And you understand that such restoration was not availible in Soviet Union :) If it will be interesting to you I can show some modern patches of Russian Federation's Military medical academy with such emblems.
#4 and #5 is for civil medical education but Lapa was not correct with their definition. #4 is for middle medical education (nurces, medical assistants) and #5 is for high medical education (doctors). There were not medical academies and universities in USSR. Only institutes.
