1988 OMON Patch.

This evening, a good friend of mine had given me this hat that was given to him. On the sides are a Soviet airborne, and Engineer troops sleeve patch, but I do not know what is the one on the front of the hat. Can anyone tell me what this one would be?

Thank you!

It reads "Militsiya" or Police. I believe this belonged to Interior Forces riot or SWAT-type units. I have a similarly designed one that reads "OMON".

Thank you very much! :thumbsup If anything, the patch will be a good addition to my Militia collection!

Roy,

As Paul said, this is a regular milicia (police badge), but it does not belong specifically to the interior forces.

Marc,

I think it is a 1988 OMON patch. There was similar earlier patch for regular Militia, but it had no text.

I think it IS OMON, from 1988:

3 октября 1988 года Приказом МВД СССР для сотрудников ОМОН (отдела милиции особого назначения) введена куртка изготовленная из искусственной кожи серого цвета, ботинки юфтевые с большими берцами. Также введено обмундирование летнее с фуражкой нового образца и специальным нарукавным знаком.

Нарукавный знак темно-серого цвета. В середине знака в овале красного цвета изображен меч с серпом и молотом в центре. В нижней части знака, в окантовке, на поле красного цвета расположено слово "милиция". Меч, серп и молот, окантовка овала, слово "милиция" — золотистого цвета.

Here's a nice clear scan for those who like OMON items.
