Soviet Challenging signature

[RedMaestro]

Gents, I'd much appreciate some help deciphering this signature please. Two images are attached, one showing the original orientation of the signature on the page, the other with a horizontal adjustment.

There's not much context for the signature, and admittedly it's not even medal-related (but where else to seek help with such Russian scribbles?). The signature is on the title page of a Shostakovich music score previously belonging to the Higher School of Military Conductors of the Red Army (высшее училище военных капельмейстеров КА).

Thanks!

Possibilities

1) А ш ? н и ш

2) А с и ? н и ш

3) Н и ? н ш и

Most likely the first scenario ...
