Guest Rick Research Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 :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 ) of a VERY outdated photo!He wasn't a WW2 Admiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.Regards,slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
