Navy rear admiral (Russian Federation)

A few days ago, I bought this complete uniform from a Russian guy in Germany ; it is quite uncommon to see a piece like this one in private hands, so I wanted to show it to you!
It is in excellent condition!
If you have any comment, please...
Here are some photos :

L,

welcome to the forum and thanks for posting the pics. The uniform is really interesting; seeing the subtle differences between the Soviet era uniforms and the Russian Fed. uniforms. To me the change in the sleeve star was really a smart alteration.

Hello DougD,
Thanks for your welcome! :)

A important difference between this uniform and the Soviet one, is the type of button used. The reverse is not dated, and the obverse is with the Russian Federation State emblem, the double-headed eagle.

Does anybody know what the second badge (not the Northern Fleet one) represents? :confused:

Military Academy badge.

Left badge looks like a "For long journey" featuring the current Russian navy flag

Right badge is a academy badge, which should be white as stated earlier.
