Nuclearmonkey,
the uniform you have looks like a motor-rifle colonel to me. Who told you it was militia? The tabs from the photo look red as do the shoulder boards. Are they in fact brick red?
Anyway, in answer to your question, the MVD or militia used motor-rifle collar devices on a backing cloth of brick red. Judging by the collar tabs (and assuming the uniform is genuine - gotta be careful with all the fakes knocking about!) the uniform was manufactured post 1974, as the tabs gained a metal backing device after this time.
