Turretless tank. URSS student concept design

Does anyone have infor About this yet his name is IV Stalin 1954

No, definitely not a vehicle named "IV Stalin 1954".

The caption reads something like: "General view of a turretless tank. Project of the VA BTV named for I.V. Stalin, 1954, g."

The facility name refers to the Kharkov-based 'Engineering Troops Military Academy named for I.V. Stalin'. So, this may well by a student concept project (although A. A. Morozov was also sometimes involved with the VA BTV so there is a slim change of KB-60M Design Bureau involvement).

On the Google Translate above, AFAIK, the "g." at the end is just an abbreviation of god or 'year'. In the original caption, the abbreviation "im." is short for imeni or 'named' (for).

BTW, you might consider changing your title. Obviously this is not a 'Soviet Swedish Tank' ('strv' just stands for stridsvagn). Without the type number 103, your title doesn't make make sense. Perhaps change your title to 'Soviet S-Tank' or some such?

And maybe read (or re-read this forum's rules page -- https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/pages/rules/
