Chernobyl was the place where combinations of different types of soldiers' uniforms sometimes took on crazy shapes. For example, here is an officer in a soldier's tunic, with a soldier's cap, but an officer's badge. Such combinations were explained by the fact that the soldiers changed their uniforms every day - radioactive dust was everywhere. They wore what they gave out after washing - the main thing is WHAT a person did, and not how he looked.

About the KGB of the USSR. In the KGB apparatus there were also ordinary combat units, which were engaged in the protection of the most important objects of the country (for example, the Kremlin or airports). They wore insignia of the so-called "cornflower blue" - this is the traditional color of insignia of Soviet state security (since the time of Comrade Dzerzhinsky). On their shoulder straps, the soldiers wore the letters "GB" - State Security. I know very little about these troops, but it is very offensive that in many foreign films the protection of the same Lubyanka is entrusted to ordinary motorized riflemen, ahahah.

The border troops of the KGB of the USSR are troops intended to guard and protect the state border of the USSR, to prevent and suppress encroachments on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Structurally, they were part of the State Security Committee (KGB of the USSR).

There are many glorious and heroic pages in the history of the Soviet border troops. Starting from the liquidation of the Basmach bands in the 1920s and the battles near Lake Khasan in 1938, the heroic defense of the Brest Fortress and hundreds of other outposts (the Border Troops were also part of the NKVD during the war), to the battles near Lake Zhalanashkol and Damansky Island against the Chinese. During the Afghan war, motorized groups of the Border Troops of the KGB of the USSR repeatedly took part in military operations on the territory of Afghanistan, eliminating the bandit formations of the Taliban and preventing violations of the Soviet border. In the 1990s, after the collapse of the USSR, Russian border guards were doing hard work in Taldikistan, in the North Caucasus...

In the Border Troops, as well as in the internal troops, there were all specialties and types of troops - pilots, paratroopers, artillerymen, military chemists, and tankmen. Since its inception, the color of the border troops has become bright green. Кстати, пограничные войска - единственное место, где до сих пор применяются лошади. Во многих местах автомобили могут подвести и не проехать...
