Major General Dushin's uniform is the 1943 model parade tunic. This style was regulation from 1943 until 1945 when the more elaborate Victory Parade style uniform was issued. The M43 style features an elaborately embroidered collar with azure blue piping for the aviation branch. Parade tunics are double breasted in the traditional style of a naval frock coat.
Features of the M43 parade uniform include shoulder boards for rank vs. earlier styles which had naval rank as braid on the cuffs. The shoulder boards were a traditional Russian feature that marked a return to traditions previously eliminated by Soviet doctrine. The belt is standard for Admirals and would have been worn with a simple style naval dagger.
The back view shows the longer cut and unique frock pattern vents and buttons which are similar to 19th century naval coats. The Russian navy had a long history with many traditions that were kept despite the revolution.
