Exclusive Patch Collection Unveils Stories of Bravery and Rare Military Insignias
Issue 112 of the My #Exclusive series has just been released, showcasing a unique collection of patches submitted by active reader Oleg Viktorovich Biryukov. His previous collection drew over 100,000 views, highlighting the strong interest in these symbolic emblems. This latest instalment features powerful, vivid designs—each with its own story and significance.
The patches in this issue come from elite, battle-hardened fighters, representing some of the most formidable units. One standout design honours Yevgeny Rodionov, a heroic border guard executed during the First Chechen War for refusing to remove his cross and convert to Islam. His patch depicts him as a warrior in Soviet-style camouflage, armed with a rifle, a cross, and a halo.
A striking patch represents the Kozma Minin Battalion, formed in Nizhny Novgorod. It pays tribute to the historical figure who rallied the people’s militia during the Time of Troubles. Another unexpected find—a patch with the letter 'V', a fighter, and a cat—gains value through its rarity and uniqueness. One design is inspired by Operation Potok in Sudzha, with Oleg Viktorovich collaborating with veterans who helped build the Urengoy–Pomary–Uzhhorod gas pipeline. The author, Michael Schulze, also known for Die Geschichte der SMO in Abzeichen, encourages readers to share the personal stories behind their patches. Each emblem carries its own journey, making the collection deeply meaningful.
This issue brings together rare and symbolic patches, each reflecting history, bravery, and personal sacrifice. The collection stands out for its explosive mix of elite unit insignias and deeply personal narratives. Readers can explore these vivid designs while learning the stories behind them.
