I cannot tell from the photos...
Is the Honor Guard badge a separate bullion insignia that has been sewn to the peak of the cap?
Or is is embroidered directly on to the cap cloth?

Will,
It is embroided directly onto the peak of the cap. Only the coat of Arms is an additional metal piece. Here is an enlargement of it.

How cool a ordinary captain with a generals equivalent cap.
Why is he wearing this?

Really fascinating.
Does anyone know: Did only officers wear the Honor Guard breast badge?
It appears from this photo that the regular enlisted men are not wearing it.

May it be that the practice we see on the picture a captain wearing a general grade cap be applied to Kremlin KGB guard too?
Due so explaining all the KGB general caps in collections.
