“Angry and Terrifying Orc” ZOV Patch – Russian Military Humor Embroidered Badge 11×7,5cm
This embroidered patch features a stylized orc face with glowing red eyes and tusks, surrounded by Russian text:
“Злой и страшный орк” (“Angry and Terrifying Orc”) and an acronym-style motto reading:
“СильноЗлой ВсегдаОтважный ИногдаВежливый” (Fiercely Angry, Always Brave, Occasionally Polite) — spelling out ZOV, a symbol widely used by Russian servicemen in the Special Military Operation (SMO).
The patch is both a morale booster and a form of visual identity for fighters engaged in frontline combat, especially among assault troops and volunteers.
Historical Background – ZOV and Orc Symbolism in SMO:
Since the beginning of the SMO, symbols like Z, O, and V have been adopted across various Russian military units. The orc motif, once used as an insult by opponents, has been reappropriated by Russian soldiers as a badge of honor and strength. Patches like this one became part of the combat culture — often worn on body armor, rucksacks, or plate carriers.
