Historical Background:
The National Guard of Russia (Rosgvardiya) was created by presidential decree in 2016, merging internal troops, special police, and several security agencies into a unified force. National Guard of Russia is tasked with anti-terrorism, public order, protection of critical infrastructure, and participation in special operations. Since its formation, the Rosgvardiya has become one of the largest internal security organizations in Europe.

Distinctive patches, including the Russian special forces patch and large back identifiers, have become mandatory for all operational and elite forces within the National Guard structure. The use of elite forces insignia ensures both authority and clear status during sensitive missions. Over time, these back patches have evolved into key elements of Russian law enforcement and military uniforms, marking official rank and membership in one of Russia’s most powerful security services.
