This Kaliningrad merchant fleet school, formerly located in
Murmansk and known as MVIMU, was reportedly founded in 1952.
Many of its graduation classes ordered badges of their own
unique design, hence a number of variations of the
graduation badges for this school can be found. The 30th
anniversary issue is especially interesting because unlike
others, it mentions the previous name of the school.
