Children's shape of the Palag of the NKVD. Why uniform fighters of the NKVD steel leather jackets form NKVD USSR 1935 1945
Part 2.
Organs and internal troops of the NKVD 1935-1937.
Let me remind you that the internal troops over the years have undergone numerous reorganization, renaming, etc.
With the creation immediately after the October coup of 1917, the Council of People's Commissars (SNK) was immediately created as one of the Thirteen People's Commissariats People's Commissariat of the Internal Affairs of the Russian Republic (NKVD).
Then he became called the NKVD RSFSR.
Then, as the union republics, the NKVD of the Union republics were added in parallel and NKVD.
Only in 1934, a single allied drug addict of the internal affairs of the USSR was formed.
So, 06/10/1934 The People's Commissariat of the Internal Affairs of the USSR (NKVD) was formed, which included the former troops of the NEP-GPU-OGPU.
Outfitting employees of the NKVD authorities, border and internal security servicemen remained the same (taken back in 1924): shirt or shirt-french khaki color, blue sharovar, colored caps, cavalry sinel.
Signs of differences in positions (red enamel rhoms, rectangles, squares and triangles) were placed on the buttercups: the grinding with the raspberry edges - for the organs and the troops of the NKVD and the Green - for border guard.
A similar form was worn by employees of other structures included in the NKVD system:
- the main department of correctional labor camps of labor settlements and places of detention (gulag),
- the main department of fire protection (GUPO),
- Administrative and economic management (AhU) and its divisions.
From the author. In that period of the life of the Soviet state, a kind of fashion was formed on wearing military or half-form. All executives, starting from Stalin, wore a semi-long french, foam-"Stalinka", boots. Remember, for example, the film "Volga-Volga".
In addition, many agencies acquired their own uniforms and signs of differences - the police, firefighters, Osoaviahim (predecessor of the DOSAAF), in particular, trade marine and river fleet, civil aviation and even employees of urban electric transport. All these uniforms in one degree or another were based on the Red Army Uniform.
This introduced a certain confusion and confusion, and therefore by the Decree of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) Prize DSP / 95 of September 10, 1935, all organizations, institutions and persons were absolutely forbiddenwe carry out the shape and signs of the difference similar from the Red Army (with the exception of military personnel of the formations of the border and internal protection of the NKVD, compiled by call).
Let me remind you that at this time a very peculiar period of life of the Soviet state begins and the role of the NKVD in the life of the country is significantly increasing.
Note Veremeeva Yu.G. The winged phrase "revolution always devours of their children." The usual stage in the process of revolutionary change of power of any sense (whether the bourgeois, democratic, socialist or Nazi revolution) in any country - those who together stood at the head of the revolutionary forces in the initial period, are beginning to share power now and each of them believes that The head of the country should now stand it. The acute political struggle begins, in which any ways of extrusion, isolation, elimination or destruction (including physical) rivals are in power are started. In addition, in the country, at such a period, quite a lot of those who considered themselves offended posts, and its revolutionary merit is not assessed. Of these, the sovereign heads of the opposition head, while the power of the Opposition turned out to suppress the opposition to use the rule of law (police, police, gendarmerie, state security agencies, SS, etc.). Naturally, this unit is endowed in such a period of special authority.
And they will be in power not Stalin, but Kirov, Trotsky, Bukharin or someone else, nothing would happen otherwise. This is the dialectic of any revolution. So it was both in the bourgeois revolution of the middle of the 17th century in England, so it was both during the revolutions of the end of the 18th century in France, so it was after the arrival of the Nazis to power in 1933. In today's Russia, this stage is still ahead.
Most of those who are scolded by the HCH-GPU-NKVD, consider and try to convince all that the actions of the staff of these bodies in the thirties were a manifestation of personal malice, personal negative qualities, or that church - the desire of the "authorities" at the head of the state, to Under the party (so claimed by N.S. Khrushchev).
However, in reality "organs" were just a tool for the internecine struggle of the tops of the party and state leadership. For example, an ax may also be in the hands of a carpenter and in the hands of a killer. But the ax - he is an ax, he remains just a tool in all cases.
People's Commissar of God felt the "taste of power" and, apparently, decided to allocate his employees with new uniforms and differences signs. The NKVD leadership immediately developed rapid activities about the introduction of new uniforms. People's Commissar in letters I.V. Stalina put forward a lot of uniform projects and signs of differences.
October 4, 1935 Politburo approved projects of new uniforms. The form for organs and the Troops of the NKVD was decided to make a uniform, and not so diverse as a berry offered.
11/27/1935 Order No. 399 for the NKVD troops announced a new form of clothing and signs of differences in the personnel of internal protection.
Due to the low features of the sewing industry, the country was impossible in a short time to move into a new uniformity of all employees of units, organs and parts of the NKVD troops. Therefore, it was not allowed to put one-time socks with new signs to the expiration of socks with new signs to the expiration of socks with new differences and ledgers to 1.10.1935) (Politburo's decision of November 29, 1935) was allowed to keep socks with new signs with new samples: - shirt with edging, respectively, assigned rank; - Cloak without edging; - Shinel without edging.
The timing of the transition to the wearing of new signs of differences and loovers was determined: for natching the organs and troops - as the special and military ranks are assigned, and for an ordinary and junior natch service of the NKVD troops - from 1.III.1936.
Outfit By order No. 399 of 11/27/1935.
1. Headwear:
a) The main headdress of the organs and troops of the NKVD was the booster of the Red Army of 1935. The cap seated from the woolen fabric of traditional for the NKVD colors: - Tula of the corpuscular color and the crap - for the internal troops; At the top of the incolment and Tuli on all types of caps, raspberry kant were stacked. The cap had a slightly advanced black fiber lacquered visor, over two small shaped buttons attached the same lacquered black sliding selection belt. The highest, the eldest and middle natch service wore a cap all year round, and a private and junior notable - only in the summer. Summerly out of installation, with a white form of clothing, it could wear a white cap with a white tissue visor and a selection belt.
b) Woolen khaki color was installed for wearing in the field to wear the land parts of the NKVD troops. The Troops of the NKVD troops were assigned a woolen pylon of dark blue, which was rumped along with a cap with a dark blue fries or a shirt. The ordinary composition of all kinds of troops wore a cotton cap color of the khaki when walking out clothes. In the seams of the cap and sides of all the pilots of the Nachsostav, raspberry kants were sewn, and a closed five-pointed star from the instrument cloth with a diameter of 3 cm was seamed on the front seam.
c) For military personnel of the NKVD troops, undergoing service in areas with a hot climate, a cotton chak color helmet with a five-pointed star from dashboard with a diameter of 7.5 cm is introduced.

On the loudshair of caps and on top of the cloth stars on the helmets there was a red enamel five-pointed redarmeysk star of the established sample, a diameter of 3.4 cm with gilded exterior edges and a sickle and a hammer in her center. On the pilot on the orders, only the drone stars were worn.
2. Outerwear.
Instead of accepted in the Red Army, the NKVD bodies (except) of the NKVD organs and troops were introduced as the outerwear, a double-breasted coat "Raglan" from dark gray wool tissue, on 4 large shaped buttons, with a postponed collar. In winter, a fur lining and a collar on the collar of fur hatched shapes was spurred to the coat. The collar of the coat of the highest natch of the NKVD troops edged with raspberry cloth.
Note: In addition to the upper clothes, installed orders, the room was allowed to wear out of the circuit, coat and jackets made of black or dark brown, with signs of differences and without them.
In the photo: Left Major NKVD troops in a coat-raincar with a fur collar and hat-fincke. Difference signs are located on the sleeve. On the right colonel of the NKVD troops in the coat. (reconstruction).
For uniforms of the natch, metal buttons of a special species without a side, with a convex image of a direct five-pointed star with a sickle and hammer, diameter: small-17 mm and large-28 mm; For the highest room, golden; For senior and medium - silver; For the upper clothes of the entire room, oxided, dark gray. Often, ordinary army buttons were also used. Buttons of an ordinary and younger room - an existing Red Army sample, black
An ordinary composition, as well as the younger team and the superior composition, was left the former single-breasted sample sample of the RKKE from the semi-pipe gray-cooler cloth, with a hook clasp.
3. Form of clothing.
The form of clothing of the internal troops of the NKVD was the following items:
a) for middle, senior and higher room:

For the room, an army equipment of a single sample from brown leather with white metal fittings has been installed. For carrying weapons on the belt belt on the right side, holster was put on. With a tuber, a suspended holster was rushed, attached by trainers to the belt belt. The ordinary composition and the younger room wore a belt belt brown or natural, with a metal one-shock buckle.
In the drawings: on the left Captain of the internal troops of the NKVD, on the right of the Red Armyman of the NKVD internal troops.
For the room service and institutions of the NKVD troops with bried troops, crags with chrome shoes made of black or dark brown leather, or black chrome boots, for the Komostava building parts and schools - black chromium or talny boots, and out of installation - Crague boots . With pants at an outline (out of construction), the entire notable wore chrome shoes or low shoes from black or brown skin. An ordinary composition and the youngest room was assigned to wearing a yoke shoe with windings or a cathot of black.
From the author. We would like to once again emphasize that this article describes the form of clothing and signs of differences only by the internal troops of the NKVD, which are not related to the protection of the prison (GULAG), or the relationship of the relations of the relationship. The main tasks of the internal troops were the protection of important government facilities and the military support of the internal integrity and security of the state. Of course, since the internal troops belonged to the NKVD system, their form and signs of differences were very similar to the form and signs of the differences in other NKVD structures.
Similar, but no more.
In addition, the rankings of the internal troops almost coincided with the titles adopted in the Red Army, while the titles in the state security, the protection of places of detention and the police differed quite significantly.
Signs of differences in the internal troops of the NKVD.
On March 1, 1936, the signs of the differences of a completely new sample were introduced, sharply different from previously existing, as well as the signs of the difference in the Red Army. And no longer according to positions, but for personal titles.
They existed relatively long - from 1.III.1936 to 1937, so little-known.
Signs of differences were a combination of petrolery signs of distinction and disturbing stars.
From the author. In the Soviet state of the star as the main signs, the differences first appeared in the NKVD (on the petters) signs of the same difference in the military ranks of the Red Army at that time there were geometric shapes - "Roma", "sleepers", "Kubari", "triangles". We will see the stars in the Red Army, and then only on the lets of the top command of the Red Army with the introduction of general ranks in 1940. And only in 43 they will appear on the epaunts of Officers of the Red Army. 
I would like to remind you that at the time in the internal troops (as in the Red Army), the command and the commanding staff shared on:
1. Command structure,
2. The Starting Composition:
a) - military-political composition,
b) - Military and administrative composition
c) - Military-technical composition
d) - military medical composition,
e) - military-veterinary composition,
e) - Military legal composition.
Once again from the author. Inside the NKVD system, several ranks existed in parallel:
* Scale titles internal troops NKVD,
* Saving officers of state security staff
* Militia rank scale,
* scale signs of difference in employee positions and conclusion locations,
* Scale of the ranks of fire security staff.
And the signs differences were often very similar, differing only by the color of the loop and the signs of difference. At the black and white photos of that time, it is sometimes impossible to determine who this is a soldier, an employee of GB or Police organs.
On the picture on the right (reconstruction) colonel of the internal troops of the NKVD. Note that three stars in the loovers, but without golden triangles in the lower part of the looper also wore the captain of the state security. However, it does not follow that Captain GB is equal to the colonel of explosives. Too different these scales even by the number of ranks.
First, let's deal with the difference between special and militarytitles.
So, "employees" referred to persons with special titles, "servicemen" - Having military ranks.
Think about the name. What is an "employee" (the concept of the concept is an employee) and how does it differ from the serviceman?
Employee This is a person who comes on his own request to work in any institution, including the NKVD bodies, and in its own desire is fired. It applies to the provisions of the Code of Labor Laws, but does not apply to the provisions of military legislation.
Serviceman, Whatever he did not enter the military service (by call or voluntarily), it is obliged to serve the period established by law on the positions and in areas where he was sent. Refuse to fulfill the duties and quit at wisdom it is not right. Its service is regulated exclusively by military legislation.
Here is this principal difference and imposes a certain imprint on the performance of official duties.
The internal troops of the NKVD is a purely military organization (just military units can be said, only subordinates not to the addict of defense, but the addict of internal affairs), while the NKVD authorities are a semi-visa organization. Discipline, the execution and order in the military organization is many times higher than in the semi-industrial. In the internal troops serve, and in the organs work.
In the NKVD system of that time (and now in the Ministry of Internal Affairs) there were both military and special titles.
Everyone who served in the internal troops was considered and considered to be military personnel and have army military ranks. When dismissing from the service, they are taking into account in the Rivot Committee on a par with army soldiers and their titles are taken into account as well as the title of military personnel of MO.
But all the rest who served in the "bodies" (state security, militia, firefighters, various kinds of business students) were assigned special titles - with the prefix "State Security", "Militia", "Internal Service". For example - Lieutenant of the State Security, Captain of Militia, Major of the Inner Service.
Special titles to military titles are not equal at all. And although many of them wear an army uniform, in fact, none of the army, nor to the troops of the NKVD (MIA) have nothing to do. Let's say, the current Minister of the Interior of Nurgaliyev goes in the form of the army general, although neither in the army, nor in the internal troops serves.
For example, a person served in the army, fired to the reserve in the rank of "Efreitor", after that he went to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the administrative and economic bodies. He was assigned a special title, he works many years, gets promotion and eventually dismissed in the special rank of "Colonel of the Internal Service".
So, upon arrival in Railoenkomat, it will be recorded as a corporal record for military registration, and not as a colonel, since his military (military) rank of the corporal. A special title for the military registration and enlistment office does not matter.
Another example. The officer served under the contract, quit from the army, enters the police (police). In the police, he unconditionally in the order of retests assign a special title of police (police), corresponding to his military rank (i.e. confirm).
But on the contrary it will not work.
Suppose that the lieutenant from the explosives quit from the troops, went to work in the police, served before the police major and then decided to return again to the internal troops. He can be taken to serve only lieutenant.
So since Peter I in the Russian state, military ranks are dominant.
Military titles for the military personnel of the internal protection of the NKVD of the USSR (internal troops) were introduced by the Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars No. 2250 dated October 7, 1935 and declared by order of the People's Commissar of the Interior No. 319 of October 10, 1935.

Signs of differences in the military ranks served as the stars of various colors in the buttercasters and twisted signs. 
Let's start with twisted signs.
In the picture: From left to right: the violating signs of the Middle Komostava, the Senior Commendent, the highest commercial, military-political composition.
The middle command composition was carried on both sleeves over a grind (above the cuff) two or three so-called. "truncated triangle" embroidered with red silk thread depending on the title.
The senior team composition was wary on both sleeves over the overall (over the cuff), red stars embroidered with red silk with a silver edging number in the rank (how many stars in the butters, so much on the sleeves).
The highest command composition was wary on both sleeves over a walker (over the cuff), red stars embroidered with red silk with a golden edging number in rank (how many stars in the loops, so much on the sleeves) ..
The military-political composition on both sleeves over the overall (over the cuff) wore one star regardless of the title. These stars were completely similar to the stars of the RKKA politzostav, i.e. Red star with golden sickle and hammer inside it.
Military and administrative, military-technical, military medical, military-veterinary and the military-legal composition did not have vague signs.
The main means of distinguishing the ranks of the internal troops (internal protection) of the NKVD were the loovers.
The LETERS OBR.1935 was a closure valves in the form of a parallelogram, 10 cm long and 3.3 cm wide. 
The colors of the loop remained traditional - the crap. The buttercups were trimmed with a raspberry edge of 0.25 cm wide.
Along the middle part of the field on the buttercups, a longitudinal strip was laid (lumen) from a scent cord with a width of 0.3-0.35 cm:
- Golden color - for the highest room;
- silver color - for senior and middle room;
- Raspberry - for an ordinary and younger room.
At the front of the neo-soldered edge of the loovers were housed:
* Command composition equilateral triangles (side 3 cm): Golden (Galuine or Metal)
* Military and administrative composition of dark blue (tissue or metal enameled)
On the pettics of the military-political, military medical, military-veterinary, military-technical and military-legal composition of the Troops of the NKVD of the USSR, the wearing triangles was not established.
The head of the composition (military-technical, military medical, military-veterinary, military-legal) specialized services of the NKVD troops at the edged edge of the looped, according to the specialty, was emblems from white or yellow metal, which were located as from the RKKK specialists .. And before the introduction In 1936, the Emblems of the Red Army of the Red Army of the Red Army (Order No. 33 Order No. 33 of 10.3.1936) were used. 1922 (Order of RVSR No. 322 from 31.1. 1922).
In the picture on the left:
1-major internal troops,
2-rank 2-intensity,
3-chairline 2 rank,
4-battalion commissar (on the sleeve of a political worker star),
5-march 2 rank,
6-period of 2 rank.
Signs Differences on the titles:
* Private and junior team and the commanding composition - metal red enamel squares with silver-planted sides, who had shape of Chevron. The squares were placed on the lets in one row on the longitudinal strip of the vertex to the uncompressed end of the loop. The top of the inner angle of the first square was located at a distance of 4 cm from the edged end of the loop, the distance between the squares of 0.3 cm. The squares had a height of 2.6 cm, the width of the side sections of 0.7 cm. The side length was 1.6 cm, and the width of the plane Enamel 0.4 cm. Red Army wore clean buttercups with a longitudinal strip, without signs of difference.
Neither the emblems nor the signs of the insignia of the team and military-economic composition of the Red Army and the younger commanders in the loovers did not wear.
1-senior
2 junior comvorvda,
3-separated commander
4-Red Army.
"Candidate of the title" - it was an intermediate stage between the junior and middle team.
This title existed in the internal troops of the NKVD very 
not for long. Already in April, the 37th order of the NKVD of the USSR No. 169 dated 21.04.1937, it was abolished as unnecessary.
In the picture on the left: signs of the difference in the candidate for the title.
From the author. Actually, any title should relate to a certain position or a group of approximately equal posts and a normal practice when a soldier who has a certain title is raised in office, and then, making sure that he is able to execute new responsibilities for itself, assign another rank. And the titress of a candidate for the title (which in itself is tautology) means that a person is no longer a foreman, but not an officer (I will allow myself for simplicity to express a modern concept for simplicity). And what to do if we decided that the candidate is not enough to assign an officer's title. The senior is simply - returned to the Starshin position and that's it. And what about the candidate? His title is above Starshinsky, but he cannot be an officer.
Obviously, this duality of the situation and prompted the authorities to abandon this title.
* The middle team and the commanding composition - wearing metal red enamel so-called. "Truncated 
triangles "with silver-standing sides.
1-lieutenant,
2-senior lieutenant
3-political officer (on the sleeve of a political worker star),
4-technician-intenntener 2 rank,
5-chart-internal internal rank,
6-centuries 2 rank,
7-period of grade 1,
8-paramedle holder 2 rank,
9-Voorfeldsher 1 rank.
It should be noted that if the doctors wore their emblems, which were defined back in 1922 and did not change by 1935, the emblems of veterinarians and technicians here are shown here in 1936. There is no complete clarity, which emblems the bunch of 1935 in the looping of 1935, and wore them in general. It should also be noted that until July 1940, the military-political composition in the buttercups did not wear any emblems at all. As in the NKVD, and in the Red Army, they allocated themselves with commissars on the sleeves.
* Senior team and the reigning composition wore silver lumets and metallic silver sprockets with a diameter of 13 mm.
1 - Colonel,
2-major,
3-captain,
4-Regiment Commissioner,
5-battalion commissar,
6-senior political
7-rank 7-intensity,
8-intensified 2 rank,
9-intennant 3 rank,
10- Miliferger 1 rank,
11-chairline 2 rank,
12-chairline 2 rank,
13-Voigar 1 rank,
14-warwater 2 rank,
15-crowders 3 rank.
Note. Persons who have higher education and entering military service in the RKKA or the internal troops of the NKVD as a boss (but only the superior!) Composition immediately receive the title of senior boss, bypassing all the downstream titles. Those. Yunosha, who finished the medical institute, immediately receives the title of militaryormality 3 rank, the young man, who finished the technical university - a militarinener 3 rank. Graduate of the Institute of National Economy - Intensudent 3 rank.
* The highest team and the commanding composition wore golden lumens and metal golden stars with a diameter of 13 mm in the buttercups.
The highest title in the internal troops of the NKVD was established "Commander of the 2nd Rank". However, it was never assigned to anyone and remained purely nominal. In the picture on the right signs of the distinguisure of the commander of the 2nd rank.
1-Comkor,
2-comdive,
3-Combrigs
4-corpped commissioner,
5-Division Commissioner,
6-brigad commissar,
7-Divintendant,
8-Brigintandant,
9-divinener,
10-Briginener,
11-Divographer
12-Brigwatvrach.
I repeat that these signs differences existed in the internal security very long - from October 1935 to July 1937. Many military servicemen did not have time to even wear them, because the differences were not simultaneously on new signs, but as the ranks assign. And it was not a mechanical process. Each military personality is a question of assigning a particular title individually in the order of certification. And the younger room at all moved to new signs of differences only in March 1936.
At the same time, I considered it necessary to describe these signs in detail in detail, so that the reader did not get into a dead end, seeing a photo with strange, very rarely encountered butters. With the same purpose, as well as for the reader to see the differences in signs, in the applications I give signs the differences in the personnel of the NKVD bodies and the GULD NKVD

In the first days of February 1943, during the beginning of the native fracture during the Great Patriotic War, the People's Commissariat of the Interior opened a petition to the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR on the introduction of existing new signs of differences - epaulets for the personnel of the NKVD, including the police.
This was preceded by the introduction of new special ranks, the establishment of a complete uniqueness, assigning special ranks to the Polymatot workers noted.
Simultaneously with the introduction of the pores, cutting of uniforms was changed, and a new parade uniform was introduced for the entire personnel of the NKVD.
The introduction of new signs of the difference was one of the activities of the government aimed at further strengthening the discipline, uniqueness, raising the role and authority of the NKVD natch service.
When setting the sample of these new signs, the differences in the distinction of the Russian army existed until 1917 were used.
In the postwar years, a number of changes were made to uniform, significantly improving the appearance and form of clothing of police officers.
All changes in the outfit caused by the desire to improve its quality and the need to replace the objects of uniforms that were impractical or not relevant to new service conditions.
Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the introduction of new signs of differences for organs and the troops of the NKVD was announced by the Order of the NKVD of the USSR No. 103 of 11.02.1943.
Order of the NKVD of the USSR No. 104 of 11.02.1943 New special titles have been established for the personnel of the police: Commissioner of the Police 1 Rank, Commissioner of Police 2 Rank and Commissioner of Militia 3 Rank. For senior Nachsostav: Police Colonel, Police Lieutenant Colonel, Milic Major. For the average Nachsostav: Captain Militia, Senior Militia Lieutenant, Militia Lieutenant, Junior Militia Lieutenant. For the younger bunch of the Militia Sergeant, the Militian Sergeant, the Militia Sergeant, the Junior Police Sergeant and Senior Policeman.
Order of the NKVD USSR No. 126 of 02/18/1943for the personnel of the police, a new form of clothing and differences signs were introduced. Signs of differences - epaulets - served to determine the special title. The pursuit of the pursuit for the commissioners of the police - from the galoon of a special zigzag weave of silver color, Kanta - turquoise color. Shumes on the zigzag have the lumens of turquoise. The sprockets on the chains of the Commissioners of the police embroidered with gold, the number corresponded to the special rank: the Commissioners of the police 1 rank - 3 stars located in a row in the middle of the pursuit, at the police commissioners 2 rank - 2 stars and at the Commissioners of the Police 3 rank - 1 star.

In the first days.

Commanders of Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov born on February 12, 1900 in silver ponds, near Vienne, Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov was the son of a peasant.

Leather jacket and cloak - the same cultural symbol of fighters of the state security authorities of the post-revolutionary period, like Nagan and mass executions. Is the leather jacket really official clothes and was it only in the NKVD they wore? Apparently, everything was not quite as it seems first.
Surely when pronuncified by the fighter (or better executioner) of the NKVD, before the eyes of most modern people, a man appears with a gangster in a cap and a leather jacket or a raincoat. It is clear that leather clothes were a certain uniform. It is known that leather jackets were already in Tsarist Russia, where they were mainly used by drivers and air force. It is known that in October 1917, Chekists destroyed all the owners of leather jackets. And then they cut their families to the seventh knee.
The form of military personnel of the Russian imperial army without signs of difference
Okay, jokes to the side. First about clothes. If we say quite briefly, after the revolution over the form of military personnel and fighters of state security bodies, no one bothered. For example, for the army, the uniforms began to be developed only on May 7, 1918 after the order number 326. At the same time, on September 30, 1918, the order of 929 was allowed to wear the form of military imperial army without signs of differences.
In the years of the Civil War, there were no special uniforms in the HCC that (including) is explained by the tasks and realities in which the state security staff had to work. When parts of the Red Army arrived at the disposal of the PK, they simply retained their shape. After its abolition and the creation of the GPU under the NKVD of the RSFSR, the form was very modest: a dark blue gymnaster without edging and a cap. Clothing was installed by order of the GPU number 280 d d dated November 3, 1922.
At the official level, no leather speech jackets did not go. Seriously engaged in the form of troops and NKVD bodies only in 1935. And even then in orders (number 396 in GUGB, number 399 according to the first day of December 27, 1935) there is no leather clothing at the official level. However, it was not forbidden, referring to the category of "non-stop permitted".
Fashionable, stylish, revolutionary
The leather jacket in the post-revolutionary Russia gained great popularity since 1919. They wore it not only in the HCC. Leather jackets wore the RKKK team, as well as employees of the party apparatus. Obviously, the post-revolutionary Russia in the first years has not had the opportunities (including industrial) and time to supply leather jackets on the flow and put in them all the fighters of the TCC. People just "mad" what remains with royal times.
Why did you wear jackets? This is a good question. Partly because why in the United States we wore coats and felt hats. It was fashionable. Much more important that leather clothing is very practical, comfortable, and most importantly, in it do not come true. Finally, leather jackets and raincoats were rare, and therefore represented a certain value, moreover, worked by a "formal uniform" allowing immediately determine the personality of a person to a certain organization. But, even at the same time, you should not forget that the state security officer determined first not clothes, but the signs of differences on it.
I want to know even more interesting about equipment and outfit? Then here, there is such as they are so good.
