LIEVTNANT-GENERAL ARMII
Beautiful M/59 Estonian SSR war veteran parade uniform of a lieutnant general of the Soviet armed forces obtained from Estonia. The general was serving in the Workers and Peasants army in the early days of the Soviet Union and was then transferred/stationed or moved to the newly formed Estonian Soviet republic during the years after the war where he was member of a City council (Linnanoukogo).

During the war, he participated in the capture of Berlin and the Liberation of Warszawa as well as the defenses of Leningrad and Caucasus. We can assume that he was in combat situations several times and was recipient of the Order of the Great Patriotic War II class and one wartime Red Star. He also got the Order of Bogdhan Khmelnitski, III class, however the award that is mounted to the uniform is most likely a copy. There is another Red Star as well, however it was most likely given for long service. The screwpost for this award is somewhat damaged and the award is attached with screwnuts. The order of the Badge of Honour dates from the early 1950s.

In the postwar years (sometime during era 1946-1956) he attended the Dzerzhinski war academy. The badge has 16 republic scrolls on the arms crest (16th republic = Karelo-Finnish republic, 1946-1956).

The buttons has no date, instead they all have the *** marking on back, indicating 1950s-early 1960s manufacture. The visor cap is mid 1960s and the sweatshield inside show light wear. The tunic and trousers are in good shape. The award ribbons are somewhat soiled.

Overall, the uniform set is in excellent condition shows light to medium wear (medium for visor cap). The size for the tunic is a generous 56 (44-46, XL), the visor cap is 57.

Awards: Order of Bogdhan Khmelnitski III class, Order of the Patriotic War II class, twice Order of the Red Star, Order of the Badge of Honour, Medal for Bravery, Medal for 20th anniversary of the Workers and Peasant army, Medal for Defense of Leningrad, Medal for Defense of Caucasus, Medal for Victory over Germany, Medal for 20th anniversary of the Victory, Medal for capture of Berlin, Medal for Liberation of Warszawa, Medal for 250th anniversary of Leningrad, medals for 30th and 40th anniversaries of the foundation of the Soviet armed forces.
