Another giveaway would be that he's wearing an ushanka, rather than a papakha. I stand corrected.
I guess it's part the weather and/or the occassion. Peaked caps are no help in the dead of a Moscow winter! The various uniforms are divided into summer/winter in the regulation book, and none of the illustrations show the peaked cap with the greatcoat. Guess just because it's not in there does not mean it is not allowed --- how very un-Soviet! :)
Whatever the commander tells you to wear, you wear!
