Regarding this sentence in the article: The wearing of uniform by all Soviet diplomats on formal occasions was officially discontinued in 1954; thereafter only ambassadors continued to wear the dress uniform, without the dagger, on special occasions.[3][4] Senior officials of the Soviet Foreign Ministry still wore a double-breasted dark blue uniform with gold braided cuffs and collar patches when attending credential presentations by foreign ambassadors, as late as the 1980s. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 that practice appears to have ceased.[3]
I have never seen or read about blue uniforms for senior officials. After 1954 all ranks lost their everyday uniform and all ranks lost their cerimonial black uniforms except Ambassador, Minister 1 class and Minister 2 class. The M54/55 parade uniforms were issues in two colours black and white(for countries with a tropical climate) i never seen or read anywere of a blue one! Is it possible to see a photo or see a source for that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.5.17.94 ( talk) 16:56, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Ok thank you for the clarifications. Since this is an active topic of research for me would you mind sharing some photos if possible? I'm a novice in using Wikipedia so i don't know if this is the right place to ask. Forgive me for that. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buttonroom ( talk • contribs) 12:52, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

The current text states "In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt attracted considerable attention when he was the only foreign official at the funeral of King Edward VII who was not in uniform." This is cited to Hackspiel-Mikosch, Elisabeth (2005). "Uniforms, diplomatic". In Steele, Valerie. Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion. 3. Thomson Gale. pp. 362–364. ISBN 0-684-31394-4. I do not have access to a copy of this work, and cannot confirm.
However, see Tuchman, Barbara. The Guns of August. Ballantyne Books (1962, reprint Presidio Press 2004), p. 4. ISBN 0-345-47609-3. "Amid all this magnificence were three civilian-coated gentlemen, M. Gaston-Carlin of Switzerland, M. Pichon, Foreign Minister of France, and former President Theodore Roosevelt, special envoy of the United States." J. G. Graubart ( talk) 18:46, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
