Shoulder patch just seems odd on that uniform but that seems to be the trend. Not sure why they felt they needed to economize on buttons. Certainly don't need as many as an m45 but seems like it would look better with an extra pair in there.

Hey guys!
Wow, I haven't been on here in a while. I really love those Kremlin Guard uniforms, so beautiful, so much detail, even in the shoulder boards, really great stuff, and the Shakos look so awesome! Looks like the Tsar is back haha. And as for the MotSU I like the jacket's 4 button change, it seems a bit more modern, but I can go either way, with or without the extra two buttons it looks really good. Lonny.

For me, the most annoying things about the marshal's uniform are the intrusion of the sleeve patch as a reminder that "he's in the Russian Federation now" and that RF medal/order (for Merits to the Motherland?) as almost making a point of being more obvious than all his Soviet awards.
I cannot tell from the photos, but I wonder what the shoulder boards look like now. Has the Soviet seal been replaced with the two-headed eagle? Phillip

Would a MOSU that was say in Moldova or Azerbaijan wear the local insignia? It seems to me that Russian has monopolised the Marshals. Mind you I read that Latvian armed forces is 952 people so how many Marshals do they need?

I imagine that it is a regional thing. As with any former republic, the local badges, orders and medals take precedence over the SU awards.
