Russian Novorossiya Field Patch

The Russian Novorossiya Field Patch 10×9.5 cm is a field insignia produced for operational and combat uniforms within Novorossiya-aligned armed groups. The patch features the well-known “Novorossiya” flag—a blue-and-red St. Andrew’s cross—adopted as the main symbol by several pro-Russian separatist formations in Eastern Ukraine since 2014. The patch is manufactured in a large, rectangular format for maximum visibility on combat jackets and tactical gear.

This item is categorized as a pro-Russian separatist field badge and is widely used among volunteers, militia, and military personnel in self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), as well as within the broader Novorossiya project. The design complies with operational uniform standards, ensuring correct identification for both regular and ad hoc units. The emblem is recognized by both supporters and international observers as an official patch of Novorossiya forces.

In field conditions, the Novorossiya military patch provides instant affiliation and is commonly seen during active operations, at checkpoints, and in media coverage of the conflict. The size of 10×9.5 cm matches supply guidelines for large-format operational insignia.

Historical background:

The Novorossiya (Новороссия) movement emerged during the early stages of the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, with the goal of creating a unified pro-Russian state in the Donbas region. The “Novorossiya” flag was selected as a unifying symbol by separatist militias, most notably in 2014–2015 during heavy fighting around Donetsk, Lugansk, and adjacent territories. Patches with this emblem have been issued to various battalions, including Oplot, Vostok, Somali, Sparta, and others aligned with the Novorossiya identity.

While the formal Novorossiya project was suspended in 2015, this Donbas conflict field emblem remains in use with DPR/LPR units and other Russian-aligned forces. It continues to appear in field photography, video reports, and is referenced in Western and Russian media as a recognizable element of the region’s military symbolism. The adoption of large-format patches—such as the Russian Novorossiya Field Patch 10×9.5 cm—reflects the tradition of highly visible identifiers during periods of both active operations and post-conflict service.
