Soviet State Security Uniforms
#3
If this gymnastiorka could talk....I'm not certain that I would want to hear what it had to say.

The pullover uniform tunic of a member of the security militia which served as guard personnel in the Soviet Union's concentration camp system, the GULAG (acronym for Glavnoe Upravlenie ispravitel'no-trudovykh
LAGere [Chief Administration for Corrective Labour Camps] ).

Note the sleeve patch, with the "CCCP" designation at the top, and the "GULAG" designation in cyrillic letters at the bottom.
