The Central Aero-hydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) (Централный Аерогидродинамический Институт, ЦАГИ).

TsAGI was founded on 1st December 1918 in Moscow under the initiative and leadership of N.E. Zhukovsky, the father of Russian Aviation. Its development owes also a lot to his colleagues A.N. Tupolev and S.A. Chaplygin.
It is located close to Moscow, in a town called now called Zhukovsky.

Today’s TsAGI claims to be the largest scientific research centre in the world. Under a Russian Federation Government Decree dated 29 March 1994, TsAGI was designated a State Research Centre.
It was the first scientific institution to combine basic studies, applied research, structural design, pilot production and testing. During its distinguished history TsAGI has developed new aerodynamic configurations, aircraft stability/controllability criteria, and strength requirements. TsAGI was a pioneer in the theory of flutter along with many other theories, applications and experimental studies.
During the last two decades TsAGI has achieved significant advances in Aerodynamics, Flight dynamics and Flight control systems, as well as improving static material strength, service life and reliability of civil airplanes. Our methods for structural analyses and optimization make it possible to reliably design new-generation aircraft so as to ensure a 50,000- to 60, 000-hour service life.
These results were applied while developing the Tu-204 (by General Designer A. A. Tupolev) and the Il-96—300 (by General Designer G. V. Novozhilov).

In the 1980s the TsAGI’s scientists worked on improving the manoeuvrability of modern fighters. Solutions were obtained for many problems concerning the aircraft control when flow separation conditions took place at high incidences.
This is demonstrated in the manoeuvrability of the MiG-29 (by General Designer R. A. Belyakov) and the Su-27 (by General Designer M. P. Simonov) and has been verified through performance of the «Pugachev Cobra» manoeuvre.

While developing the «Energia» launcher and the «Buran» reusable aerospace-plane, TsAGI made significant investigations into aerodynamics and flight dynamics, assessing structural strength for velocities from orbital to landing.
These new designs met challenges of hypersonic flight physics, new control systems for a wide range of velocities, while mathematically modelling numerous processes and studying a wide range of motion on flight simulators.

I could have added the detail of TsAGi's awards :
Order of the Red Banner of Labour - 1926
Order of the Red Banner - 1933
Order of Lenin - 1945
Order of October Revolution - 1971
and also a Certificate of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR in 1968.
In 1998, TsAGI was awarded the Honorary Mention by the President of the Russian Federation.

Soviet awards to institutions

Here's Ryazan Airborne Academy named after the Lenin Comsomol - a twice Red Banner educational institute.

Re: Soviet awards to institutions

Here are the awards from "some" place, I think it was a technical plant. I saved the image several years ago but I failed to note wherefrom it was. The awards "collection" is impressive.

2 pics (sorry, small to fit) of famous tractor factory in Volgo/Stalingrad

1 pic of famous tractor factory in Minsk in Belarus

Tractor factories were historically a good place to produce makeshift tanks:)
