As many of you know, Marshal Konev had the reputation of being very talented, but with a gigantic ego.

Tsar Nicholas II also did the same, but was probably safely more recognizable by everyone. It's a kind of false modesty. And, as someone noted elsewhere, being a very senior officer, he could darn well wear whatever he wanted to. Like Patton or Goering.
