Of course it is the patch of the Russian mmilitary space forces...you can SEE that he is visiting a cosmodrome....

BTW, it is common practice to give Putin a military uniform/gear of the unit he is visiting. Here are some "navy Putin" pictures:

Russian President Vladimir Putin, center, talks with Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov, right, and Space Forces Chief Anatoly Perminov as he tours a launch pad in Plesetsk, northern Russia on Wednesday. Putin watched the succesful launch of the Molniya-M booster rocket, which carried a Kosmos military satellite into orbit.

So here is the patch I was talking. Is it the Moscovit bear ? :confused:

If Putin holds a rocket model in his hand it doesn't automatically mean that he has a Space Force patch...

But in this case he has one.
