At the end of 2011, an elegant form of a new sample was approved in Russia.... In it, in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were to carry out their service.

This was the right step because the old uniform was hopelessly outdated and out of tune with modern clothing requirements.

The new form has become practical and consistent with the principles of convenience and modernity.

An employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must know how to wear and combine the uniform and its elements correctly. This will ensure uniformity and harmony in the ranks of uniformed police officers, and will help protect against fraudsters who commit crimes, disguising themselves as servants of the law.

Fundamental rules

  • Significant signs of work clothes: established types of shoulder straps, accessories, a combination of combinations, colors and various components of the uniform

Types of uniforms

The male uniform of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs includes:


With regard to the female version, shirts are replaced by blouses, a cap with a hat, a garrison cap, dresses, jackets, skirts and shoes are added.

Separately, there is a patrol-guard uniform and clothing of employees supervising traffic order, bearers of special ranks.

  • Indoors and during hot seasons, it is allowed to wear a shirt or blouse with long sleeves without a tunic or jacket
  • There are some indulgences in the established order of wearing the uniform... Sometimes, due to the lack of a complete set of the new uniform, the commanding staff may allow to combine items of old sets with new ones. A gray winter hat can be worn with a new blue uniform. A gray wool coat can be combined with the previous collar. The previous summer suit is allowed to be worn with a new headdress and cap. The membrane protective suit is replaced in the absence of a waterproof raincoat.

Police reform, one way or another, had to bring about changes. This also affected the appearance of the police officers.

The form turned out to be foldable and modern as another reason to be proud of the new Russia.

As you can see, it is not easy to combine the various elements of the service kit. This is a whole art, but you can learn it too. Each police officer of the Russian Federation, carrying such a glorious status, is obliged to know and follow the established rules.

Wearing a new uniform is a pleasure and honor.

Any modern state organization related to the protection of law and order and the solution of more serious problems related to state security has its own form, by which you can unmistakably recognize an employee of this organization. The police or army most often comes to mind when the expression "service uniform" is used. The modern uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the hallmark of the police, because for most police officers, wearing a uniform is mandatory.

Now there is a lot of talk about a new form of uniform, which, according to the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 575, must be worn by police officers. The investigators also have a new form. At present, even the generation that went through the Great Patriotic War cannot imagine a police officer (militia in those days) without a uniform. But this was not always the case, because in Russia a special form of law enforcement officers appeared only in the 17th century.

The history of the emergence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia from the 17th century to the beginning of the 1917 revolution

Unlike most European states, in which until the 18-19 centuries the clothes of law enforcement officers were dark and inconspicuous, Russian law enforcement officers dressed brightly and catchy, since serving the tsar at all times was considered a great privilege. In a country where the words "honor of the uniform" have never been an empty phrase, a beautiful police uniform could not but appear.

In Russia, which was then called the Moscow State, the first policemen, who were called zemstvo yaryzhki, appeared at the end of the 17th century. It was then that Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, nicknamed "Quietest", transferred the functions of the Rogue Order (which was engaged in inquiring and "knocking out" guilt and testimony) to the Zemsky Order. It was in those days that the people's dislike for the police was laid, and the yaryzhki received several offensive nicknames formed from the letters "Z" and "I", which were embroidered on their chests.

The first uniform of the then police were green rifle caftans with a red stripe "Z" and "I".

In 1718, by the decree of Peter I, a real police was formed. Peter I, who was very responsible for any little things, himself set the uniform that police officers had to wear. According to the decree, the first police uniform consisted of the following elements:

  • The caftan is bright blue (if you adhere to the exact text of the decree, then "cornflower blue");
  • Pantaloons and caps of the same color;
  • Red cuffs, cap lapels and uniform edging;
  • Green camisole;
  • Black tie.

The police epancha was either red or blue, different sources indicate this in different ways, perhaps there were 2 options at the same time.

Until the reign of Empress Catherine II, the uniform of the police, like the uniform of the Russian army, did not undergo any changes, both in Moscow and in provincial Russian cities. This state of affairs lasted until 1775.

In 1775, two acts of Catherine II appeared at once, which not only influenced the uniform of the Russian police, but also laid the foundation for the police hierarchy. The first act was the "Institution for the administration of the province", and the second was the "Charter of the deanery or policeman". The police structure, which took shape in connection with these acts, existed practically unchanged until the second half of the 19th century.

In 1784, a decree was created, according to which the police uniform was as follows:

  • Cloth caftan with fold-over folds and collar;
  • Vest or camisole;
  • Triangular hat;
  • Trousers;
  • Stockings with shoes, which were replaced in the equestrian system with special boots, jackboots.

In addition, a sword was necessarily worn as a weapon. The color of the uniform depended on the province to which the policeman belonged:

  • In St. Petersburg and the northern provinces, the uniform was light blue;
  • In Moscow and the surrounding provinces, the color of the uniform was red;
  • In Kiev and other southern provinces, the color of the uniform was dark cherry.

Although the uniform was of the same type, the decoration of the uniform varied in a fairly wide range, depending on the well-being of the owner of the uniform.

Under Paul I, the police were defined as a completely civilian and independent service from the army. In this regard, badges were added to the uniform of the police, on which the royal two-headed eagle was depicted and the position of the owner was indicated. The appearance of a junior police officer, a policeman, who later became a symbol of the Russian police before the 1917 revolution, dates back to the same period.

In 1808, the clothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tsarist Russia were renewed. All officials of this ministry received the following form:

  • Ceremonial uniform;
  • Service uniform of a similar cut.

The uniforms were dark green half-coats with a high collar and black velvet cuffs. The uniforms were wearing heraldic buttons made of yellow metal.

Under Emperor Nicholas I, who was a well-known connoisseur of uniforms throughout Europe, a new police uniform appeared, which was introduced in 1834. This form was distinguished by a huge variety of different options that were prescribed to be worn depending on the service functions performed. In any case, the main parts of the uniform were the following:

  • The uniform is ceremonial;
  • Uniform;
  • Uniform frock coat;
  • Uniform tailcoat.

The bureaucratic overcoat made of cloth was specially developed for the winter. 21 years later, in 1855, when the first police teams appeared, designed specifically to maintain and protect law and order in cities, a new reform of the police uniform took place.

Police officers received galloon shoulder straps back in 1854, which they wore instead of epaulets; longitudinal gaps and stars appeared on the shoulder straps, which showed the rank of the owner.

The lower police ranks (city) received the following uniform:

  • Gray semi-jacket, double-breasted;
  • Gray trousers with red edging;
  • A helmet with the coat of arms of the province to which the policeman belonged;
  • Yellow metal device.

The weapon of the lower police ranks was a massive cleaver, which was worn on a black leather harness.

The "Nikolaev" uniform underwent several changes and improvements, until in 1867 the police uniform underwent another reform. Under Emperor Alexander II, all police uniforms were sewn from dark green cloth. This is the color of all the samples of police uniforms.

Under Alexander III, who tried to awaken the "people's spirit" in Russia, the uniform of the police (and the army too) began in appearance and cut to closely approximate the Russian national-folk costume. While the new uniform was undoubtedly comfortable, most police officials considered it unworthy of a government official to dress in a uniform of this style. The basis of the form of the new sample was a caftan, which did not even have buttons, but was fastened with special hooks. The caftan was dark green.

During the reign of the last Russian emperor Nicholas I, the role of the police in Russia increased significantly. Due to the increased number of various revolutionaries, the role of the police in protecting state law and order has increased significantly.

By 1904, the process of modernization of the Interior Ministry's Internal Troops was practically completed and the police suit acquired the form in which it existed until the 1917 revolution. The police uniform for junior ranks became double-breasted, and hooks were used as fasteners. The trousers were army-style harem pants. The police uniform was worn with a belt that resembled a lancer sash, or with a black patent leather belt.

The last years of the existence of the police in Tsarist Russia were overshadowed by numerous killings of government officials. Moreover, both revolutionaries, who were often criminals, and ordinary popular crowds who staged pogroms, were killed.

In February 1917, a revolution took place in Russia, which put a bold cross on the history of the Russian police, which by this time was more than 200 years old. Since the main role of the Russian police was the protection of law and order, a wave of murders of policemen, who were recognized precisely by their uniforms, swept through the country engulfed in unrest. First of all, those representatives of the police were killed for whom the words "honor of the uniform" were not just a phrase. The common people, who overnight got power into their own hands, hastened to deal with the representatives of the authorities, who for two centuries were inaccessible to them.

On March 10, 1917, the Police Department officially ceased to exist, although by that time it was no longer relevant, since the police no longer existed in Russia at that time. Nevertheless, the revolutionaries, worried about the crime situation on the streets of large cities, began to create volunteer detachments that patrolled the streets. Each such detachment was assigned a chief who knew the area perfectly.

On March 4, 1917, the first detachments of the Petrograd People's Militia were created. As a uniform, these detachments used white armbands, on which the red letters "G.M" were applied, which meant "city militia". Already in the summer of 1917, an attempt was made to create a uniform uniform for the police, but since then there were enough other concerns, this project remained at the development stage.

In August 1918, an army uniform was introduced for all families, one of the original items of which was a tarpaulin cloak, which was used in the automobile army units of the tsarist army.

The workers 'and peasants' militia, which was formed back in 1917, enjoyed the special care of the Soviet government. This body was to become not only a replacement for the tsarist police, but also a symbol of Soviet power in the eyes of the population of Russia. In 1918, at a meeting of the NKVD board, which took place in the fall, the uniform for the police was approved. It was summer and winter and consisted of the following elements:

  • The summer uniform consisted of a tunic with pockets, bib pants, a cap and boots, complete with windings. Already at that time, the uniform was dark blue, which later accompanied the uniform of the Soviet militia for several decades. The tunic was fastened with 5 large uniform buttons. Small buttons were sewn on the collar, pocket flaps, cuffs and collar;
  • The winter form had a rather unusual color "Marengo" (dark gray, with a bluish tint). It was complemented by a Finnish-style winter hat, which had a leather visor and a lamb's wool trim (artificial fur). In addition, the winter uniform was complemented by a double-breasted coat with a fur collar, and to carry out guard duty, police officers were to be issued with sheepskin coats.

In the summer, the policemen were required to wear brown cotton gloves, and in the winter, black leather gloves with lining.

Judging by the information available in the archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in those years there was also a women's uniform, which consisted of the following items:

  • Single-breasted black coat;
  • French;
  • Gymnast;
  • Skirt and beret.

This uniform was made in blue colors, and women began to serve in the Soviet militia in 1919.

Although the Soviet government took a very responsible approach to creating a uniform for the militia, until 1923 the main form of militiamen was a standard military uniform, and if there were female variants, it was in single copies.

In 1924, when the situation in the young Soviet country stabilized somewhat, the form of the militia underwent modernization, the main task of which was to simplify the production technology. The main differences between the modernized militia uniforms were as follows:

  • The maroon collars are of the same color as the békes and french;
  • The administrative staff now have black buttonholes with white piping;
  • Departmental police received turquoise buttonholes with black piping. The form received a turquoise edging.

In 1926-27, when the NEP in the RSFSR began to curtail (it was officially closed in 1931, although in fact it was phased out in 1928), the colorful uniform of the Soviet militia began to become a thing of the past. Stalin's new totalitarian regime demanded a completely different image of the militia, stern and stern, which, by its very appearance, would instill fear in the Soviet population. Beautiful and elegant bekesh are a thing of the past; they were replaced by strict single-breasted military overcoats, black, which were fastened with hooks. Winter hats for some time remained the same cut, although they began to be sewn from black cloth and the same color of artificial fur. The mounted militia, which sported a blue uniform, now dressed in all black, like the rest of the RKM services.

In 1938, the time came for another reform in the field of police uniforms. The entire composition of the RCM received khaki-colored overcoats. The most significant changes came in the form of the commanding staff:

  • New winter fur hats, which were made of brown fur with a characteristic “cap” of gray-green woolen fabric;
  • Jacket for everyday wear in steel color;
  • White light tunic;
  • Pants for summer white;
  • Winter blue trousers.

The beautiful uniform of the Soviet militia, which stood out favorably among the uniform clothing of the civilian population of the USSR, existed until 1958. This year, when the country was swept by a wave of democratization, the image of a policeman underwent significant changes:

  • The handsome double-breasted uniform was replaced by a simple blue tunic with welt pockets and similar in cut to a military uniform;
  • Of the insignia on the new jacket, shoulder straps and a red piping remained. As for the epaulettes themselves, sewn-on epaulettes began to gain more and more popularity;
  • The casual shirt was blue and the dress shirt was white. All shirts were worn with the same type of tie with an elastic band;
  • Trousers could now be worn outside by all police personnel, even privates.

After this reform, the colorful image of the Soviet policeman remained forever in the past.

In 1969, there was a reform of uniforms in the USSR army. In this regard, an order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was published, which provided for the renewal of the police uniform. The main point of this order was the replacement of the blue color of the police uniform with gray, which remained the dominant color of the Russian law enforcement officers until recently. Also, the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered to bring the cut of the police uniform in accordance with the basic cut of the army uniform. This innovation has significantly reduced the cost of uniforms for law enforcement agencies.

After this reform, the clothes of the Soviet militia began to look like this:

  • The tunic, both winter and summer, began to be made with turn-down collars, single-breasted. They were fastened with 4 brass buttons. The summer tunic was made of semi-wool, and the winter one was made of wool;
  • Two raincoats of the same type, one nylon and the other rubberized. All raincoats had a hidden fastener, a fastening hood and a belt;
  • Woolen coat with a turn-down collar, which was fastened with 3 buttons. An army overcoat was left for the mounted militia;
  • In winter, a gray muffler and gloves were given to the uniform.

In 1984, in the form of the Soviet militia, a gray-blue summer shirt with short sleeves appeared, which was used for all climatic regions of the USSR.

The uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in the 1990s differed little from the Soviet one. The only example of modernization is camouflage of various colors, which was issued mainly to special forces, riot police, and so on. Many private firms appeared, which began to sew some types of uniforms and shoes. The production of field molds has become especially popular. As an example, we can name the Splav company, which is one of the most famous Russian companies for the production of uniforms and footwear.

The police uniform of the new model and its differences from the old

At the end of 2011, a new form was approved for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, since the old one was outdated and inappropriate to the requirements of modern realities. According to official information, when developing the new form, the wishes of the veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were taken into account. The new uniform appeared in all divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including the traffic police, the investigative committee, and even cadets.

The new form is said to be significantly more practical and more comfortable. When creating it, the latest materials were used that have increased durability and wear. The new uniform looks more dignified than the old one.

The new uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs changed not only its style, but also the color, which became dark blue instead of gray-blue. According to the manufacturer, the use of the latest tissue samples allows the employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to feel comfortable at any temperature.

All employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs received a new summer and winter uniform. In addition to a completely new everyday uniform, police officers received a new full dress, which should emphasize the prestige of the police service.

In addition to summer and winter uniforms, a demi-season option is also provided for police officers. For rainy weather, a modern waterproof suit is provided in a new uniform, instead of a raincoat-tent, which was used in the Soviet militia.

Thanks to the use of the latest materials, the new shape has a presentable appearance in any weather. Worsted fabric, which contains lycra and wool, can repel dust and moisture, while it is practically wrinkle-free.

Despite all the benefits listed, the police officers adopted a new uniform with a grain of salt. During operation, it showed itself not in the best way, especially many complaints come to the summer form, which practically does not allow the skin to breathe. At the warehouses, they note that the police tried to get the old-style uniform, in every possible way refusing the new "improved" one.

A new form of various services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

The new form for traffic police officers consists of the following elements:

  • Demi-season jacket with a hood;
  • Winter jacket with a detachable fur collar. There are emblems on the collar, and the jacket itself has a hood that can be removed;
  • Demi-season trousers;
  • Insulated winter semi-overalls trousers. There are reflective stripes on the sides of the trousers;
  • Summer jacket and trousers with a straight silhouette;
  • Wool blend sweater;
  • Shirts with long and short sleeves.

For special-purpose militia units, uniforms were developed taking into account all the tasks that may arise in the process of their hard work. An interesting solution, for example, is the presence of special auditory holes, which are available in the hoods of the new OMON jackets. This allows the headphones to be worn without removing the hood and provides the audibility that is essential when performing operational tasks. This feature of the jacket was developed precisely at the request of the special forces, who successfully tested it when working with a headset of radio stations.

In order not to interfere with various weather conditions, the OMON winter trousers and jackets are equipped with special bags that are stored in the pockets. If necessary, winter clothes can be quickly folded into these bags in order to change clothes in accordance with new weather conditions.

In the new police uniform, the functions of fasteners are performed not only by zippers, but also by Velcro. Although they are designed to make life easier for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in fact, they represent a constant headache, since during operation they often lose their properties.

The summer uniform of riot police has ventilation valves in the armpits. In addition, the kit includes tactical gloves made of leather and textiles. Boots for riot police officers (ankle boots) are made of thick leather covered with a water-repellent compound.

Classic pumps are allowed for women serving in the police. At the same time, the height of the heel should not exceed 4.5 cm. For women who are wearing PPS, trousers and a jacket are provided as a form, which is adjusted to the figure with the help of lacing. For female investigators, there is a choice between a skirt, trousers, and a dress. Women's demi-season jackets are made of genuine leather.

When the designers developed the models of women's uniforms, they supplemented them with red neck scarves, which can be worn instead of a tie. The bow tie, which was in its old shape, was removed as it received many negative reviews. As headdresses, girls were given the opportunity to wear felt berets.

Insignia on the new police uniform

The rules for wearing uniforms of a new design, as well as the location of various chevrons, stripes and lapel emblems on it, are reflected in the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 575, which entered into force on July 26, 2013. According to this decree, every police officer is obliged to wear a badge on the right chest, indicating his name. On the left side of the chest of a policeman's uniform, there must be a special badge on which the policeman's personal number and his / her belonging to a region must be stamped. Affiliation is indicated by means of 3 letters.

Badges on uniforms are worn not only by employees of the patrol service, but also by employees of the private security department. The badges are made of aluminum and have a golden color and an oval shape. The road police officers have badges made in the shape of a circle.

The chevrons on the police uniform were on both the old and the new. The chevrons indicate the unit to which the police officer belongs. According to the law, there are 15 different variants of chevrons, which are intended for different parts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Each unit has its own emblem, which is depicted on the chevron. For OMON it is a sword and wings, for OVO it is a fortress and a key, and so on. Chevrons, as well as other elements of the uniform of the Russian police, are supplemented with various reflective elements that contribute to the identification of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at night.

Chevrons should be sewn onto the sleeves of jackets, pea coats and tunics. For the form of the new sample, an innovation was introduced, which was not in the old form - now the chevrons must be sewn onto long-sleeved shirts. The chevrons for the new police uniform are made to match the tone of the clothes, and there are white, blue, blue-red. On the new form, chevrons can not only be sewn on, but also fastened with Velcro.

All chevrons that are attached to uniforms in one way or another must be sewn onto the right sleeve. The distance of their attachment should be 8 cm from the edge of the shoulder. For employees of internal affairs bodies, a special inscription "police" is provided, which should be located above the left breast pocket.

Operation and maintenance of the new sample police uniform

Despite the fact that the new form is positioned as simpler and more convenient to use, caring for it differs from caring for the form of the old model. Due to the use of modern fabrics and materials, this form is not intended for self-washing. The instructions strongly recommend that you take it to dry cleaning. Many employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were convinced from their own experience that self-washing can lead to unexpected and disastrous results.

The history of the Russian police uniform is very interesting and entertaining. Many hope that the next reform of police clothing will not be aimed at making the uniform cheaper and depersonalized, but will give it a unique flavor, while not forgetting about ease of use.

In every serious organization there must be a dress code. Clothes made in a business style, or more simply - a special uniform. First of all, the idea of ​​the police comes to mind associatively, and then about the Russian army. Wearing the uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not only a duty, it is a visiting card of every employee of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

The history of special police clothing deserves attention, because the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia was not spared by the waves of reforms. For example, from the very beginning of the existence of law enforcement agencies, Peter 1 himself prepared projects with the activities provided for the troops. And, of course, he himself defined the very first uniform of non-commissioned officers and soldiers as a policeman.

Since 1719, it was obligatory for police officers to wear cornflower-blue caftans and trousers and green trousers. It was both everyday and ceremonial uniform.

Until 1811, the internal troops performed the functions of the police, and the uniform of the guards looked like this:

  • Dark green cloth caftan with red lining and the same cuffs;
  • Camisole, also red, short pants;
  • Stockings, black shoes, black tie;
  • Felt hat, also black;
  • Green cloak, sword belts, sword, fuzee with a bayonet and a cartridge bag with a sling.

After 1811, the "police troops" were distinguished by the form of a new sample - a gray uniform with a collar, a yellow cuff and red shoulder straps, trousers, boots with leggings, greatcoats, shako, bayonet guns and swords. As before, the ceremonial form was absent, which made this form universal.

The evolution of the police uniform - comfort and new technologies

Time passed, in comparison with the old uniforms, a lot of new things appeared, and the old ones have irrevocably sunk into the abyss of history. What was previously impossible is now commonplace. For example, earlier it was impossible to find a woman among the police officers. And where is without a form? Until 2018, women's casual uniforms are good enough - they are designed in a business style, nothing superfluous, except for insignia. This is not to say that it was initially ideal - clothing designers each time tried to make adjustments taking into account practicality and convenience.

Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Russia Sergei Gerasimov said that 16 billion rubles were allocated from the budget for the new uniform of the internal troops. After all, the winter, summer and ceremonial uniforms of the internal troops in a set cost about 30 - 35 thousand rubles for each employee. It is important to note that in 2014, the uniform of the dog service staff was completely renewed.

Back in 2014, more than 70% (which is 12 billion rubles from the budgetary funds of Russia) of internal affairs employees received an updated uniform, thanks to the changes in 2012. It was from this year that the President of Russia approved the samples of the form presented at the presentation. When creating clothes for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, designers have made every effort to make it comfortable, high-tech and comfortable. For example, a fabric with a membrane coating allows such clothes to "breathe", while repelling moisture. This option is very practical and will serve for a very long time to the delight of employees.

The wardrobe of civil servants has been replenished with a baseball cap (instead of a cap), a warm sweater and a jumper. Samples of winter uniforms were tested in more than 10 divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, in different parts of the country. And the testing ended positively - in this form it is even comfortable - 40.

The new uniform of the police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia - has it gotten better?

Already in 2018, they plan to completely replace the old police uniform with a new one. At the moment, statistics say about 95% of employees who changed the old dark gray to a new one. Even costume specialists from Mosfilm took part in its creation. The designers claim that they chose the dark blue color for a reason. It was this color that was characteristic of the pre-revolutionary police. The parade uniform has practically not changed in design, only the composition of the fabric. It contains 70% wool, thanks to which the clothes do not wrinkle.

Women's summer uniforms have largely undergone changes:

  • Cotton dark blue dress;
  • Scarlet scarf;
  • Felt hat;
  • Black shoes.

The journalists present at the presentation drew a parallel with the uniform of the flight attendants. To which the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs replied that the only thing borrowed from Aeroflot was only a heel height of 4.5 centimeters.

At one of the many meetings of Interior Ministry officials with the President of the Russian Federation in 2018, he asked a police lady what she had to say about the new uniform. The employee noted that it became much easier with her. Wearing clothes made from natural fabrics in summer will prevent a person from overheating, and the heel height is optimal for walking. A felt hat gives sophistication and femininity, wearing this shape is much more comfortable than before.
