The insignia is for "Admiral of the Fleet of the USSR", a rank that was introduced in 1955. Only three guys held it; Kuznetsov, Isakov, Gorshkov. Chernavin, who replaced Gorshkov, was not given this rank, he was a full admiral of the fleet only. The insigna first makes an appearance in 1944 when Admiral of the Fleet Kuznetsov was given the insigina even though he did not actually get the full rank. As head of the navy he wanted a full "marshals" rank. He got the insignia, but was still just "Admiral of the Fleet".

These uniforms, copies of Gorshkovs, pop up all over; I sold 2, I have seen at least 10 others. They are made up today. They are fine for display ( one of my clients bought one to wear) but have little historical value.
