I think I have a copy of a Russian article showing the rank insignia for diplomatic uniforms. I will see if I can find it.
I have had, and since sold or traded, a few of these uniforms. The quality is superb, far beyond that of any post-war general's uniform even!! It is my understanding, from talking to Russian diplomats, that up untill 1954 uniforms were used by ALL Soviet diplomats and that in 1954 it was cancelled for the lower ranks only - I think Counsellors and up retained them. They were retained by higher ranks until much, much later, hence the 1980s uniforms often seen. However, they were issued less and less often and may have even become "private purchase" items. There is talk in the Russian MFA of re-introducing them. It was once common for many foreign ministries to use uniforms. The dress uniform of former Canadian Minister of External Affairs (Noble Laureate and later Prime Minister) Lester B. Pearson is in our headquarters - alas, we have no uniforms today. Shawn |
