Historical background:

The Birobidzhan Border Detachment is a major operational unit of the Russian Border Service, historically tasked with protecting the southeastern segment of Russia’s boundary along the Amur River and in the Jewish Autonomous Region. Established in the Soviet era, the detachment gained experience in counter-smuggling, illegal migration control, and regional security, given its proximity to China.

In the post-Soviet period, the unit continued its work as part of the FSB’s border troops, participating in joint exercises, modernization of border outposts, and responding to security incidents in the Far East. The Russian Birobidzhan Border Detachment Patch 9 cm became an official element of the unit’s uniform, representing the unique regional identity and operational legacy of the detachment.
