Translator
In all Photo,s of the Potsdam Conference he is either sitting, standing next to or walking beside Stalin which makes me think that he could be his Translator.

The uniform is the everyday grey diplomatic service uniform (NKID) of a mid level diplomat. The parade uniforms were striking, the service uniforms a bit dull.

FYI, here is a better pic of the Man with Stalin. The pic is from the famous photographer Yevgeni khaldei.
If wanted, I can scan it in a far better quality (this one being taken with a digital camera). Cheers. Ch. Last edited by CtahhR; 06-05-2013 at 09:41 PM. |

Doug was right. This man, presumable a translator, is wearing the gray service diplomatic uniform. You can see pretty clearly the crossed quills ar the top of his shoulderboard.

Ambassador Alexander Bovin died. See:
http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/s...8138#post28138 I found a great picture of Bovin in uniform, with the late Israeli prezident Herzog. The picture was taken in Jerusalem on December 23, 1991 - probably the last Soviet ambassador in uniform.

You're right, compared to the one shown in post #46, these collar tabs are very ugly!
Thanks! :)
