The text 'VVMU RE IM. A.S. POPOVA' stands for 'Vyssheye voyenno-morskoye uchilishche radioelektroniki im. A.S. Popova', or 'Higher Naval School for Radio-Electronics in the name of A.S. Popova'.

Thank you Ferdinand

I wonder is A.S Popova the same person A.S Popov who the day of the radio is celebrated for

In 1945 a state holiday, the Day of Radio, was established. It was decided to celebrate it annually on the 7th of May. The government has decreed to install monuments and memorial plaques devoted to the inventor of radio, to institute a badge ?Honorable Radio Operator? and the gold medal named after A. Popov. The medal is awarded by the Academy of Sciences to famous scientific researchers and inventors in the radio engineering field.

The museum exposition tells the visitors much about Popov?s achievements and the significance of his works. Some educational institutions, research institutes, museums, ships and streets are named after Popov to commemorate the prominent Russian scholar. A special stand is devoted to 19 winners of the gold medal named after A. Popov.

Yes. The ending "a" is added because it is the genitive tense "in the name of..."
