:Cat-Scratch: VERY odd! He is not wearing any medals dating after 1948, suggesting this is a copy (by Inturist???? ) of a VERY outdated photo!

He wasn't a WW2 Admiral.

Rick,

Great catch. My bad. After reexamining the image more closely, it dates to June 1, 1956. The stamp on the back partially obscured the year.

Note, too, that he was awarded the Order of Nakhimov.
