What I find interesting, is that he is wearing the star on the right side of his breast.

Re: Order of the Star I Class worn

Is the uniform he wears a soviet era parade uniform or later issue? Is it double or single breasted?

And lapel edges are downpointed; his uniform has breast pockets and also wears a patch in the left sleeve.
