Soviet marines parade uniform?

What does a parade uniform of the Soviet marines look like? Both officers and troops.

Introduced in 1969 naval infantry parade uniform was not different from navy parade uniform.

What you have seen during the parades in Red Square in fact naval infantry field uniform with few additions and small alterations, like for parades sleeve patches and beret patches were moved from the left to the right sides etc.

Over the years, as you can see parade uniform didn’t change much.

As Vvadim said the naval infantry officers used also their black field uniforms in parade, the VDV officers have the same kind of tradition. According to A. Stepanov, those pelicular uniforms are wearing since 1972 at Moscow.

Sorry for poor quality.

I dunno how much this will help, as these are service uniforms, but, here you go. Maybe theres a parade variation...

I have found a picture (quality as usual!) of major A. Ovsentchouk in an old issue of the Revue Militaire Soviétique (4/89). Note the absence of sleeve stripes and the naval infantry badge.

Only sea going personnel are entitled for sleeves insignia and marines by all means are land forces. Major and such are not entitled to sleeves insignia. Only captain of 3rd rank and such are.

Hello Vadim,
Yes, since the reintroduction of the shoulderboards, only line officers have the right to wear sleeves rank stripes. Have you any details about the wearing of naval infantry badge by officers (I have once found on the internet a general’s kitel with this insignia)?
