Soviet Does any one has pictures about two military academy badges worn?

[reichsrommel]

Just like this as the colonel at left:

I just want to prove that it is not rare to wear 2 military academy badges at the same time

The academy badges are different... two different schools so can't see why he would not be entitled to wear them both. I wouldn't think that would be the case if both were the same badge.

Also, very similar academy badges were issued by several of the other Warsaw Pact countries... Hungary, Bulgaria, etc. I believe the Colonel has some foreign medals on his last row of awards but it's at such an angle that I can't make out what they are or from what countrie(s).

The Soviet Union also had a TON of these badges for various schools, universities and academies. Again if one earned two or more I can only imagine they could be worn, unless regs only permitted a set number... which may have been the case. That's something I don't know. If that was not the case I'd think it would also be up to the individual... I can only imagine that most would not want to clutter up their uniforms with say, five or ten such badges. They'd likely pick those from the highest school/university/academy and wear those as the most important/significant.

Just some thoughts.

Rare or not rare, but it is certanly against regulations

1973 and 1988 regulations states that officer should wear only one badge (the last one he reserved)

Same goes for the current RF regulation - one badge, and one only.

But of course officers (especially in reserve) very often violated this rule

Here we have two badges

and sometimes you can find even three

The HSU on the right is Marshal Sergei Sokolov by the way, who passed away last year at the impressive age of 101.

[JapanX]

Nope.

Marshal Sokolov looked differently

No "bobs" in sight

Looks like the same guy to me... But, hey, all you old guys look alike to me... And if it isn't, he's done a great job of re-creating Sokolov's ribbon bar.

[JapanX]

You can be serious guys!

Ok.

I`ll give you a hint!

Look at their shoulder straps...

If it doesn`t help - start counting

Three Lenins vs. Two Lenins

Two RB vs. Three RB

etc, etc, etc

Not sure what you're talking about, JapanX. This is definitely Sokolov - he was awarded three Lenins and two Red Banners, which is exactly what we can see on the top photo.

[JapanX]

I am talking about guys in the posts #4 and #8.

No Sokolov there.

You are (obviously) about guy in the post #1 ;)

[Ferdinand]

If it was obvious, why did you correct me?

Oh well...

[JapanX]

It's obvious dear Ferdinand

Because you made your post right after my post #4 where I posted another HSU.

Guess I just misread your "on the right"...
