I'm thinking my original post was too far off-topic ... so I'll try to bring it in line. Aside from trying to find the correct hat to complete the Ukrainian uniform, I'm really trying to understand how different the all the SSR uniforms were from the Russian SFSR? Would a 1982 Army Officer's Parade uniform in RSFSR = a 1982 Army Officer's Parade uniform Ukrainian SSR? Or were there some variations? Is the uniform pictured below clearly post-1991?
How much did the influence spread to the other Communist states like Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, etc. Did any other states adopt the same uniform and just add different accoutrements?
My original post:
"Does anybody have a picture of the correct hat for this Ukrainian uniform?:confused:
I thought I had found the correct hat (see picture), but apparently I was way off since it's a completely different shade of grey/green.
I'm still not very confident that I know what this uniform is ... I assume it's a post-1991 Ukrainian Captain's duty uniform. From what I can gather, the reddish-pink pins on the collar designate that it is a "police" uniform, but I don't know if these are correct (or if somebody just stuck them on there). The shoulder boards are not stiff like the Soviet uniforms that I have (It's like the cardboard is missing). The buttons on the front of the jacket and on the sleeves all have the Ukrainian Trident symbol.
I can provide close-up shots if anybody needs them."
