Academic graduation badge (Russian: Академический нагрудный знак) is a badge of distinction worn on the chest for individuals who have graduated from a higher education institution.
History
Russian Empire
Chest badges for graduation from educational institutions appeared in the Russian Empire in the 19th century. At first, badges of distinction were established for individuals who graduated from military academies of the Russian Empire, which gave rise to the term “academic badges”. Among civilian educational institutions, the first special badges of this kind were established for individuals who were awarded master’s and doctoral degrees by the Imperial Russian Universities. In 1889, a badge was introduced for those who completed courses at the Imperial Russian Universities. The sample badge that appeared in 1899 became the prototype of modern academic badges. It was an elongated vertical enamel rhombus topped with a double-headed eagle. A blue enamel cross with a laurel wreath on top was located on top of the rhombus.
