The sailor is Wearing: On his white summer tunic with blue cuffs he wears a 2nd class soldier-sportsman badge. The blue neckerchief is fastened to the tunic by means of buttons. White short-rank boards marked with a Cyrillic ‘Ф’ that lack stripes indicate his rank as a sailor. No telnyashka is worn under the tunic at this time. A black artificial leather belt with brass enlisted naval buckle, black trousers, and black deck shoes complete the uniform. | |
More about the uniform... As with many of the naval uniforms of 1969, the No. 1 enlisted summer uniform remained largely unchanged from its 1958 predecessor. It simply changed the red star cockade on the bezkozirka to the M-1969 wreathed star. (1) It was typically worn in warm and even tropical climates. The uniform be worn with a telnyashka under the tunic if the situation required, but is most commonly seen without it. (5) The enlisted summer 1969 uniform is worn with the white bezkozirka. On the cap a band with the sailor's fleet name is fitted as is the 1969 enlisted cockade. |

A white tunic with blue cuffs and a matching blue neckerchief attached by buttons is worn with white short shoulder boards. Prior to 1980 these boards had stenciled letters indicating the fleet that the sailor served with. In 1980 all shoulder boards were required to be marked with a Cyrillic ‘Ф’ in yellow thermoplastic. (1) Badges are authorized to be worn on the shirt. No sleeve patches are worn with this uniform. White trousers supported by a black synthetic leather enlisted belt with a brass navy enlisted buckle, and a pair of black lace up deck shoes complete the uniform. |
Service Chronology The No.1 enlisted summer uniform is another example of
the Soviet naval conservatism in uniform design. It differed in only
slight ways from its 1958 counterpart. No changes would be made to the
uniform during the early seventies when army and air force uniforms were
modified. In fact, the 1969 summer No. 1 enlisted uniform would be
virtually unchanged until after the fall of the Soviet Union. It was
only in 1994 when the Russian Federation established their first uniform
regulations that the uniform was phased out of service.. |
