State Security Uniforms
of the Soviet Superpower
(1960-1978)

 

Cold War State Security Uniforms

Here you can see the uniforms introduced during the reforms of 1969.  The regulations which became official in 1970.  This section will cover KGB, Border Guard, MVD, and Militsia uniforms.

We currently have very few uniforms here, but more uniforms will be added as they are acquired.  In any case we will attempt to have detailed descriptions of each uniform along with a photograph of the uniform being worn, and an illustration of the uniform from a Soviet-era military manual.  Not all of the uniforms will have all of these things at this time, simply because it is a rather lengthy task.
