Russian ORC Patch

Russian Military Humor Embroidered Badge

This embroidered morale patch, measuring 8.5×5 cm, features the bold white-on-black phrase “Здравствуйте! Я – ОРК” (Hello! I’m an ORC). It’s a satirical, self-aware slogan embraced by Russian soldiers during the Special Military Operation (SMO), turning enemy slang into a badge of pride.

Made from durable stitched fabric and equipped with Velcro (hook) backing, this patch is a favorite among infantry, assault troops, and drone operators who use dark humor as part of their unit identity.

Background – ORC Identity in Modern Russian Conflict Culture:

Originally used as a derogatory term by Ukrainian media, “Ork” (Orc) was reappropriated by Russian soldiers and volunteers as a symbol of unbreakable brutality and resilience. Patches like this are now worn with pride by many units operating in combat zones across Ukraine.

It stands as a form of reverse propaganda and identity assertion, blending humor with psychological warfare.
