In this section we have several items to display. The section will eventually cover all types of insignia given by the Soviet Union during this period. This section is divided into four major areas that cover the services described. It should be noted that the Army and Air Forces of the Soviet Union were very closely related and often shared patches and awards. The section covering the Army also includes the VDV or paratrooper forces, while the Navy section also includes the Naval Infantry. The paramilitary section covers agencies that did not fall under the Ministry of Defense (such as the NKVD/KGB, MVD, Militsia, and Border Guards).
