Artillery Colonel Parade Uniform
#8
Hehe, for a second that guy in the picture on the right reminded me of Hunter S. Thompson. I think its the shades.

But yeah, the ropes were mostly put on dembel uniforms and as mentioned they were mostly white.
As I do not have regulation books I am not sure about much information concerning wearing medals, awards and pins but I have not seen any officers or soldiers wearing the ropes outside of demobilization.
But I could have sworn I have seen a photo of modern Russian troops on parade with them wrapped around their uniforms.

In this picture we see the modern Russian Federation honour guard with ropes! :)
And in the second picture we have the VDV with ropes!

So perhaps they were common at parades?
Although I know that many regulations have changed since the Soviet days.(Such as visor cap size ;) )

I agree, it does look spiffy.
