Historical Background:

The Central Orsha-Khingan District of the Russian National Guard is one of several major territorial commands responsible for internal stability and rapid deployment tasks within central Russia. SOBR units operate under this command and are involved in high-risk missions, including armed raids, hostage rescues, and anti-extremist operations.

Originally formed within the MVD (Ministry of Internal Affairs), SOBR units were transferred to Rosgvardiya in 2016 as part of a broader internal restructuring. The name “Orsha-Khingan” carries historical legacy from Soviet military formations, linking modern units to wartime distinctions.

Their insignia, including this patch, is an emblem of modern Russian internal defense and special operations identity.
