Which troops have black shoulder straps. Epaulettes of the Russian police of a new sample - the meaning of the photo. Soldiers and sailors

Ranks, insignia and shoulder straps of the police of the Russian Federation

The ranks of the Russian police are divided into four groups:

First group- junior commanding staff - sergeants, foremen and warrant officers.

Second group- the middle commanding staff - lieutenants and a captain.

Third group- senior commanding staff - major, lieutenant colonel and colonel.

Fourth group- the highest commanding staff - major general, lieutenant general, colonel general and police general of the Russian Federation.

Ranks of police officers are assigned for life. And upon retirement, the “retired” attribute is added to the existing rank at that time (for example, retired captain, retired major or retired colonel, and so on).

The ranks of the police of the Russian Federation are assigned sequentially. A police officer must serve a certain amount of time. In Russia, all ranks are divided into first and next.

The next title in the Russian Federation is not easy to get. When assigning it, special attention is paid to the education of a policeman. But there are also moments when the next rank can be assigned to a policeman ahead of schedule, for any of his special distinctions for the good of the Motherland. Although if the policeman at that time served in the previous rank for less than half of the prescribed period, then the early assignment of the next rank or its increase is postponed.

All police ranks in Russia, from a cadet to a police general of the Russian Federation, have their own insignia and shoulder straps. But how to determine the rank and position of a police officer? Here is a descriptive table:

This table, which is below, is already a little outdated, and has undergone changes, but not significant ones - on the pursuit of an ordinary and other shoulder straps there is no “police” emblem next to the button, and on the chase of a foreman, according to the old, a longitudinal wide strip for the entire shoulder strap, according to the new strip also longitudinal and wide, but short, which can be clearly seen in the photo above. Well, the shoulder strap "Police General of the Russian Federation" is slightly changed, mainly in color. And so, everything is the same - the titles are as they are.

Shoulder straps and ranks of the Russian police

ordinary policeman

On shoulder straps there are distinctive signs - a button and next to it the emblem "police", The cadets of the police have a distinctive sign on shoulder straps - the letter TO

Junior commanding staff - sergeants, foremen and warrant officers

Shoulder straps of a junior sergeant, a sergeant and a senior sergeant have rectangular tabs located transversely to the shoulder strap. Two tabs - junior sergeant, three tabs - sergeant, one wide transverse tab - senior sergeant, the same wide tab, but only longitudinal - vertical - foreman.

Ensigns

On the shoulder straps of the ensigns there are small stars vertically without gaps, two stars, and three stars. Two stars - ensign. Three stars - senior warrant officer.

The average commanding staff - lieutenants and captain

On shoulder straps there is a vertical red stripe, which is called a clearance. The stars are small. Military rank lieutenant. One star is located on the red stripe - junior lieutenant, two stars across the strip between them - lieutenant, three stars - two transversely, the third on the stripe - senior lieutenant, four stars - two transversely, and the third and fourth on the stripe - captain.

Senior Commanding Staff - Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel

There are two gaps on the shoulder straps - red stripes located vertically along the entire shoulder strap.
Large stars from one to three. One star in the middle inside the bands is a major. Two stars located on the bands themselves transversely - lieutenant colonel. Three stars - two on the stripes transversely, one between the stripes slightly ahead of the two - Colonel.

The highest commanding staff - generals and police general of the Russian Federation

Stars are large without gaps.
On shoulder straps, the stars are in a vertical position.
One star in the middle - major general two stars - lieutenant general three stars - colonel general. One even larger star with a large three-headed coat of arms of Russia is a police general of the Russian Federation.

The terms of service of the rank in the police of Russia are assigned in ascending order after a certain period of work experience.

Private - one year of service. The same period of 1 year - for junior sergeant. 2 years - in the rank of sergeant, 3 years - for senior sergeant. Ensign - up to junior lieutenant 5 years. Senior lieutenant - 1 year, lieutenant - 2 years, senior lieutenant and captain - 3 years, major - 4 years. The lieutenant colonel has 5 years.

For a colonel and general, rank promotions are awarded only for any special merits and distinctions in front of their native fatherland.
A similar rule does not apply to the highest rank - police general of the Russian Federation.

Different power structures and the form is different. Depending on the rank, one can understand not only which path a person has traveled up the career ladder, but also distinguish the form of addressing him. The title is easily recognizable by the shoulder straps on the shoulders of a military officer or a security officer or security structure.

Shoulder straps

Initially, they did not have such a significant meaning, but only an applied purpose. With their help, they held the belt of the bag with cartridges. Therefore, the shoulder strap was only on one shoulder - the left. It is for this reason that in the Navy the rank was indicated by stripes on the sleeve.

In Russia, epaulettes appeared as distinctive signs on military clothing at the end of the 16th century during the reign of Peter I. They were used only among soldiers, since, starting with officers, they did not carry bags and guns.

The current customary shoulder straps have an irregular rectangular shape with special designations. Stripes, stars and stripes indicate the type of uniform and the rank of the wearer.

Rigid bright sewing, often with ornaments or galloons, with remarkable stars and other signs of identification of the power structure and rank, adorn the dress uniforms. The field uniform has epaulettes with the usual identification symbols and simple sewing.

Insignia in the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Among the employees of the Ministry of the Interior, and in particular the police, there are 2 stars on the shoulder straps of several ranks.

Star location and rank designation:

• ensign - 2 small stars located in the middle along the shoulder strap;
• lieutenant - 2 small stars across the shoulder strap in its lower part;
• lieutenant colonel - 2 large stars across the shoulder strap in its lower part;
• lieutenant general (highest commanding staff) - 2 big stars along the shoulder strap, but closer to the bottom.

The shoulder straps of the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are blue-green.

The number of stars on any shoulder straps symbolizes the rank, and thus everyone who understands ranks and ranks can tell by shoulder straps who is in front of him.

Military insignia

The military has little difference in shoulder straps than the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The designation of 2 stars is also for the ensign, lieutenant, lieutenant colonel and lieutenant general with the same location. The color of the shoulder straps themselves is marsh or rather dark green with a brown tint. Differences from the police are not only in color, but also in the red stripes along the axis of the shoulder strap. For ensigns, they are located along the edge. Junior officers, among whom the owner of two stars - a lieutenant - have one red stripe in the middle of the shoulder strap along the axis. The colonel, who is part of the senior officers, wears two red stripes on his shoulder straps at the edge along the axis. And only for senior officers and the lieutenant general, in particular, the stars are not attached, but sewn on the shoulder strap. Ceremonial galloon and red stripes along the axis on the very edge.

Insignia in the Ministry of Emergency Situations

The FPS and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are paramilitary units, and therefore their uniforms are not much different from the generally accepted recognition symbols of other security services.

The blue shoulder straps of the Ministry of Emergency Situations have a rectangular shape rounded on one side. The red edging and symbols of the Ministry of Emergency Situations are on the shoulder straps of any composition. Recognitive concepts, like all other law enforcement agencies, have 2 stars for an ensign, lieutenant and lieutenant colonel. Location is identical. There are differences, but in other ranks.

In fact, they have a huge history and is rooted in the Middle Ages. Shoulder pads in those days carried no less significant symbols - coat of arms and other heraldic designations of belonging to a particular family or even to the Court. Not all knights wore protective shoulder pads, but even then there was some kind of their current concept. They have survived centuries of evolution, changing along with humanity, and now they have a form familiar to us, but far from the last for themselves.

Ranks in the Russian army is a topic that I could understand only thanks to my military service. I remember how at the OBZh lessons the teacher forced all the guys to learn them by heart, but even after a long cramming, only empty sounds were put off in my head.

Now I have the opportunity to compare these words with real people whom I meet around. Thanks to this, I was able to structure this knowledge very simply and intelligibly so that each of you, dear readers, could easily and for a long time remember what soldiers sometimes take a whole week to do ...

What are the ranks in the Russian army

As you already understood, before joining the army, I had almost no understanding of military ranks. Knew only the basics. The service made me learn them by heart so that I could easily determine who I was addressing or, conversely, who was addressing me.

As always in such articles, I want to start by defining the main concept. Let's deal with what are the ranks in the Russian army.

In our country, two types of military ranks of military personnel have been established - military And shipborne.

Ship military ranks are assigned to sailors:

• surface and submarine forces of the Navy;
• naval military units of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia;
• Coast Guard of the Border Service of the FSB of Russia.

Military military ranks are assigned to other military personnel serving in the military:

• Russian Emergency Situations Ministry;
• the Federal Security Service;
• Foreign Intelligence Service;
• Federal Security Service;
• Internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;
• other troops, military formations and bodies.

Great. Understood the concepts. Now let's go up. From the lowest rank to the highest. What is their hierarchy?

Non-commissioned ranks in the army

1. Private ~ Sailor.
2. Corporal ~ Senior sailor.
3. Junior sergeant ~ Petty officer of the second article.
4. Sergeant ~ Petty Officer of the first article.
5. Senior Sergeant ~ Chief Petty Officer.
6. Foreman ~ Chief ship foreman.
7. Ensign ~ Midshipman.
8. Senior warrant officer ~ Senior midshipman.

What did you think that's all? What are all the ranks in our army? No, my friends. The most interesting thing is ahead - the officer corps. It is divided into several parts:

• Junior officers.
• Senior officers.
• Senior officer corps.

Officer ranks in the army

Military rank ~ Ship rank.

1. Second Lieutenant ~ Second Lieutenant
2. Lieutenant ~ Lieutenant.
3. Senior Lieutenant ~ Senior Lieutenant.
4. Captain ~ Lieutenant Commander.

It was a junior officer. Now let's move on to the older one.

1. Major ~ Captain 3rd rank.
2. Lieutenant colonel ~ Captain 2nd rank.
3. Colonel ~ Captain 1st rank.

And finally, the senior officers.

1. Major General ~ Rear Admiral.
2. Lieutenant General ~ Vice Admiral.
3. Colonel General ~ Admiral.
4. General of the Army ~ Admiral of the Fleet.
5. Marshal of the Russian Federation ~ There are no analogues.

As you can see, the number of ship ranks is exactly one less than the number of military ranks. But what!

OK then. We figured out the titles and their order. How now to distinguish between them? And for this, dear readers, people came up with shoulder straps and sleeve insignia (the latter - only for ship ranks).

It is them that we will now analyze. First - in words, then - graphically.

Shoulder straps

• Soldiers and sailors

On shoulder straps they do not have any insignia.

• Sergeants and foremen

They have insignia in the form of cloth galloons - stripes. In the army, these stripes are called "snot".

• Ensigns and midshipmen

They have insignia in the form of small stars arranged vertically. Shoulder straps are similar to officer's, but without gaps and may have edges (for more details, see the pictures below).

• junior officers

One vertically located strip - clearance. Asterisks metal, small (13 mm).

• Senior officers

Two gaps and large metal stars (20 mm).

• Senior officer corps

Large embroidered stars (22 mm) placed vertically, no gaps.

• General of the Army, Admiral of the Navy

One large embroidered star with a diameter of 40 mm.

• Marshal of the Russian Federation

It has one very large embroidered star (40 mm) against the background of radially diverging silver rays forming a pentagon, and the coat of arms of Russia (without a heraldic shield).

For those who find it difficult to perceive the text and just to consolidate the information received, I suggest taking a look at the pictures corresponding to the above.

Shoulder straps of officers

Russian army command

The next point of our analysis is faces. Those people who lead our army.

First of all, of course, I want to name the Supreme Commander-in-Chief - the President of the Russian Federation.

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief is not a title, but a position. The only position that allows you to lead the Marshal of the Russian Federation.
An interesting fact is that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin ended his service in the FSB with the rank of colonel, and his current position allows him to lead representatives of the highest officer ranks.

Please note that Sergei Kuzhugetovich bears the rank and shoulder straps of an army general.

The Minister of Defense combines the commander of both the ground forces and the Navy. That is why there is no higher rank in the Navy than Admiral of the Fleet.

By the way. Which of you, friends, noticed that I began to write such high ranks as admiral and marshal with small letters? Think it's a mistake? Forced to disappoint you. No! Why? Read the next part of the article.

Interesting facts about ranks in the army

• The prefix "guards" is applied to the military ranks of the military personnel of the guards units (for example, "guards major").
• In relation to the military personnel of the legal and medical services, the words "justice", "medical service" are added, respectively.
• For military personnel who are in the reserve or retired, the words “reserve”, “retired” are added, respectively.
• Military personnel studying in a military educational institution of vocational education are called: those who do not have the military rank of officers - cadets, and those who have a military rank - listeners.
• Citizens who did not have a military rank before entering a military educational institution or who had the military rank of a sailor or soldier are assigned the military rank of cadet upon admission to study. Other military ranks assigned before entering a military educational institution of vocational education are retained.
• Military ranks are given after the length of service of the required time and for personal merit. If everything is clear with merit, then let's figure out how much time it takes to serve in order to reach the desired rank. In accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 22 "Regulations on the procedure for military service" for military service in military ranks, the following terms are established:
  - private, sailor - five months;
  - junior sergeant, foreman of the 2nd article - one year;
  - sergeant, foreman of the 1st article - two years;
  - senior sergeant, chief foreman - three years;
  - warrant officer, midshipman - three years;
  - junior lieutenant - two years;
  - lieutenant - three years;
  - senior lieutenant - three years;
  - captain, captain-lieutenant - four years;
  - Major, captain of the 3rd rank - four years;
  - lieutenant colonel, captain of the 2nd rank - five years.
  Further - for 5 years.

An important point. The title can only be obtained if there is a suitable position in the unit. About positions and what ranks you can reach in a particular position, in the next article.

• The ranks of foreman and chief ship foreman have not been awarded since 2012. The documents still exist.
• All military ranks - from private to marshal of the Russian Federation are written with a small letter.
• The rank of major is higher than the rank of lieutenant, but major general< генерал-лейтенант.
• The highest rank that can be obtained for a year of military service now is sergeant.

Dear readers. I hope that while reading this short but very important article, you have formed an understanding of what ranks are in our army, and in what order they are located.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia are paramilitary, they have the appropriate uniforms and insignia. Insignia depending on special ranks, located on shoulder straps, for employees of the FPS were established by order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation dated July 3, 2008 N 364 "On approval of the Rules for wearing uniforms by employees of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Liquidation consequences of natural disasters, with special ranks of the internal service", and are identical to the corresponding signs for police officers.

The basis for the placement of insignia made in the form of plates and stars is the shoulder strap.

Persons of the middle and senior commanding staff wear shoulder straps:

• on tunics (jackets) in dress uniforms - sewn-on shoulder straps with a golden field, with gaps and orange piping;
• on tunics (jackets) with everyday uniforms, demi-season jackets, coats and winter jackets - sewn-on shoulder straps with a gray-blue field, with gaps and orange piping;
• on woolen jackets and summer jackets - removable shoulder straps with a gray-blue field, with gaps and orange piping;
• on shirts (blouses) of white and gray-blue color - removable shoulder straps with a field, respectively, of white and gray-blue color, with gaps and orange piping;

Persons of private and junior commanding officers wear shoulder straps:

• on tunics (jackets), demi-season jackets (for warrant officers of the internal service), winter coats and jackets - sewn-on shoulder straps with a gray-blue field, with orange piping;
• on woolen jackets, summer jackets and shirts (blouses) - removable shoulder straps with a gray-blue field, with orange piping;

• on demi-season raincoats - shoulder straps made of the fabric of the top of the products, sewn into the seam of attaching the sleeve, with a triangular upper edge fastened with a button.

The emblems on the shoulder straps are metallic golden color - a small emblem of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. The emblems are placed on the longitudinal center line of the shoulder strap, at a distance of 5 mm from the button.
