I'm going off of memory both on attribution and the abbreviation, but I believe this is OMON - Otdel Militsii osobogo naznacheniya - or SWAT-type police.

OMON belongs to the MVD though.
Oh, and its not Otdel, its Otryad. Last edited by willie777; 12-09-2006 at 09:04 AM. |

MVD was interior troops.
Militia was National Police. |

I know that, but read the the following excerpt from wikipedia. OMON might have been a militia but it did not belong to the militia.
OMON (Russian: Отряд милиции особого назначения; Otryad Militsii Osobogo Naznacheniya, "Special Purpose Detachment of Militsiya") is a generic name for the system of special units of militsiya within the Russian and earlier the Soviet, Ministerstvo Vnutrennih Del (MVD; Ministry of Internal Affairs). Just because a name has militsii in it, doesnt mean it neccesarily belongs to militia. Last edited by willie777; 12-09-2006 at 09:23 AM. |

Guys,
I am sorry, but the patch in question has nothing to do with OMON. It's a 1977 Militia arm patch for a dress uniform. 1988 OMON patch was similar, but in stead of the leaves it had "MILITIA" written on it. Alexei |
