He looks like a 12 year old, I thought it was a child in uniform at first.
Very nice picture though, interesting they had uniforms for gymnazists.

A gimnazia was a pre-revolutionary high school. The term is being used again post Soviet-era.
The term itself has no overt, military significance.

The same name is used for the non-mandatory upper school years 16-19 in both Finland and Sweden, spelled Gymnasium.
