This uniform belonged to a Hero of the Soviet Union and and twice recipient of the Order of Lenin. His career probably started during the late 1930-ties, or just around the outbreak of the second world war. During the war he served in the defense of Leningrad and Kiev and recieved both 1st and 2nd class of the Order for Great Patriotic War, two Red Stars (a third one was awarded later) and two medals for combat service. He also participated in the liberation of Belgrade and Prague and in the conquest of Japan in late summer/early autumn of 1945. His awards also include a Red Banner of Labor and the Order of the Badge of Honour, presumably given for achievements in defense construction and/or political contribution to the success and advancement of the Soviet state.

The set is in excellent condition. The jacket shows some wear on the inside. The size of the uniform is 54-56, the trousers are size 54 and the cap is size 60. In U.S. sizes, this is 44 for jacket, 38 for trousers and 7 1/2 (?) for the visor cap.
