Hi, Juke, Zolotnik.

Yes, this all museums in which collection there are subjects of Russian silver. Zolotnik already has given some decodings. I will a little add.
P.L. have collected the data in the big (federal) museums and small (local) museums.
For an example - the "big" museums:
ГИМ - the State historical museum, Moscow
ГОП - the state museum "The Armoury chamber", Moscow
МК - the Museum of the Kremlin, Moscow
ГРМ — the state Russian museum, St.-Petersburg
ГЭ - the State Hermitage, St.-Petersburg etc.
For an example - "small" museums:
НГМ — the Novgorod state museum
ВОКМ - the Vologda regional museum of local lore
ПОКМ - the Pskov regional museum of local lore
ВСМЗ — the Vladimiro-Suzdal museum-preserve
МВУ — the Museum of Velikiy Ustyug etc.

Letters in an abbreviation:
"Г" - "ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ" (state)
"M" - "МУЗЕЙ" (museum)
"МЗ" - "МУЗЕЙ-ЗАПОВЕДНИК" (museum-preserve)
"ОКМ" - "ОБЛАСТНОЙ КРАЕВЕДЧЕСКИЙ МУЗЕЙ" (regional museum of local lore)

Sometimes it is necessary to look, about what P.L. writes a town. For an example:

- Kalinin (Tver) - KM - Калининский музей (the museum of Kalinin)
- Kaluga - КАОКМ - Калужский областной краеведческий музей (the Kaluga regional museum of local lore).
- Tbilisi - ГМГР — Государственный музей Грузии (the State museum of Georgia) or АИМ — Азербайджанский исторический музей ( the Azerbaijan historical museum).
