The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation is responsible for control and supervision of the implementation of punishments. It has its own seal, uniform, main and special titles. Each employee receives shoulder straps from the Federal Penitentiary Service in accordance with his rank and position in the system. They are subject to a number of requirements, including regarding the position of stars, emblems and other elements.

Each employee is required to wear, along with his uniform, shoulder straps corresponding to his special rank. A certain ranking is typical for both the army, the police, and in general, the arrangement of shoulder straps of the Federal Penitentiary Service is quite standard.

Ordinary employees do not have any special distinctive elements. For the rest, the characteristic insignia remains stars and stripes, the number of gaps and their location, as well as the size of the stars (the highest ranks in the FSIN system have large stars on their shoulder straps, while the rest have small ones).

Features of shoulder straps

Shoulder straps of the Federal Penitentiary Service can be everyday or for ceremonial wear, as well as plastic and sewn on. The distance between the stars and their color design are somewhat different from the usual ones. Depending on the affiliation of a particular employee, different requirements are imposed on shoulder straps:

1. For the uniform of privates, as well as commanding officers (from junior to senior), the width for all types and varieties of shoulder straps is 5 cm with a gap width of 30 mm and an edge width of 25 mm. This applies to shoulder straps with a tucked edging, as well as those with a rounded top edge.
2. For the uniform of the highest authorities of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation, removable shoulder straps 4.5 cm wide may be provided, in which there is no edging and the upper edge is rounded.
3. Cadets of this structure wear shoulder straps of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the distance of which is as follows: the width is 5 cm, of which 25 mm are on the edging, 50 mm are on the golden stripes running in the longitudinal direction.
4. For employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service, with the exception of the top management of the structure, it is possible to wear shoulder straps, the upper edge of which has a triangular shape, their width is 4.5 cm.

Emblem position

On shoulder straps of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the emblem must be located directly on their axis, moving away from the button at a distance of 5 mm. This is stated in the relevant documents and instructions.

In another embodiment, the emblem can be worn in the collar area, and its vertical axis must have a strictly parallel position relative to the collar's rise.

Shoulder straps for senior ranks in the FSIN system

Representatives of senior management in the penitentiary system must wear shoulder straps that meet all basic requirements:

1. As part of the ceremonial clothing on the tunic, there are sewn-on products, which are made of a special golden material; they differ from other types with a maroon edge. The shoulder straps of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the distance between the stars and other elements must be strictly maintained both on everyday uniforms and on dress uniforms.
2. As part of the everyday uniform, on the tunic, as well as on items of outerwear, including coats, there are sewn-type products in which a separate field of material with a blue-gray weave is highlighted, the edges on them are painted maroon.
3. For woolen jumpers, as well as insulated and woolen jackets, appropriate products for the Federal Penitentiary Service are required of a removable type, on which a field of blue-gray material is provided, with an edge painted in maroon.

The distance from the edge and other elements on the shoulder strap for stars and plates is strictly regulated depending on the rank of the employee.

Special ranks are awarded to those who serve in the army. This allows you to maintain subordination and build a clear hierarchy of subordinates and superiors. There are 30 military ranks in the armed forces of the Russian Federation. The rank of sergeant belongs to the non-officer rank. Ordinary soldiers will receive the rank of junior sergeant for special services. Next comes the sergeant, then the staff sergeant. Each rank has its own shoulder straps.

Military personnel are distinguished from civilians by their uniforms, which contain insignia. Using these unique signs, military personnel distinguish among themselves belonging to the branch of the military, department, rank, and military ranks.

Insignia are special elements on clothing that convey information about the owner through color, shape, and size. They were placed in different eras on the head, arms, neck, and shoulders. Of the insignia, history has preserved epaulettes, stripes, cockades, shoulder straps, buttons, chevrons, piping, and other decorative elements. Currently, insignia are worn not only in the armed forces, but also in the prosecutor's office, the mountain rescue service, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Cossack societies, the small boat inspection, and other organizations.

Assignment of title

Men who came to serve in the Armed Forces are assigned the first rank - privates. Contract soldiers can receive the following military rank after 5 months of impeccable service. The squad leader can receive the rank of junior sergeant if he proves himself to be a reliable subordinate during the period of service. He must be disciplined, organized, demanding of himself and others. If the corporal wants to serve under a contract, and not resign after military service, then he will also be assigned the next military rank. Only after serving as a corporal for 3 months can you receive the rank of junior sergeant.

The military rank above corporal is junior sergeant; he can become the commander of a combat vehicle, a tank, or an entire squad. As an exception, for good service, the rank of junior sergeant can be given upon transfer to the reserve to a corporal who was not in a regular position. The junior sergeant's shoulder straps will have one thin stripe.

Sergeant is already a military rank of junior command personnel. He is a squad leader who conducts combat exercises, manages daily operations, and is the commander of a combat vehicle or tank.

Senior sergeant – deputy platoon commander. Manages the Soldier team in daily activities and during practical exercises in the field.

Sergeant major is the highest rank of non-commissioned officers; this is a company official. He is responsible for the correct performance of official duties by sergeants and ordinary soldiers. Subordinate to the company commander (ensign).

A potential candidate for sergeant rank must:

• to serve with dignity;
• know the regulations of the armed forces of the Russian Federation;
• be able to handle weapons;
• have leadership qualities;
• navigate difficult situations, quickly find non-standard solutions;
• have secondary education;
• have no criminal record.

Candidates for the rank of sergeant undergo training under a special program in the training unit. Upon passing all the standards, they receive the rank and shoulder straps of sergeant.

There is another way to become a sergeant - to enroll in a higher military educational institution. The cadets there are sergeants.

Deprivation of rank

As punishment for misdeeds or crimes, a delay in the assignment of the next rank or its deprivation may be imposed.

The grounds for such actions may be:

• violation of the law, in connection with which a criminal case is initiated;
• written disciplinary action;
• An inspection is underway to identify any violations.

In this case, the next rank is not awarded as long as the investigation into the case continues or he is deprived of his military rank.

The disciplinary measure is demotion in rank. Sometimes immediate superiors do this when there is a more suitable representative for a full-time position. They are also demoted due to negligence in official matters or failure to fulfill official duties. Restoration can be done no earlier than in a year.

Early assignment to the next rank

Depending on the set of parameters (education, knowledge of military affairs, position held, length of service), the following ranks are assigned. To become a junior sergeant, you need to serve in the Russian army for at least a year. It will be possible to advance to another title only after 2 years. It is possible to move from sergeants to senior sergeants in just 3 years. You can become a sergeant major after a senior sergeant depending on your personal data. Here length of service does not matter much.

In some cases, early assignment of military rank is possible. This is possible for special merit, as the law formulates. This should be understood as a conscientious act, which is associated with over-fulfillment of one’s duties.

Buttonholes as a badge of honor

After the revolution of 1917, the symbols of the tsarist army were banned. In 1918, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was created. It was necessary to come up with new insignia for her. For some time they used sleeve stripes and red cloth stars on the headdress or chest.

Since 1924, the ranks of military personnel began to be distinguished by buttonholes, which were located on the collar of the shirt. The colors indicated the type of troops. Infantry had a crimson color with a black border, cavalry had a blue background with a black border, signalmen were distinguished by a black buttonhole with a yellow border. The buttonholes of leaders and army commanders were colored according to the type of troops, but the edging was trimmed with golden-colored cord.

In the field of the buttonhole there was a copper figure made of red enamel. She helped determine the rank of an army soldier. The buttonholes of ordinary and junior employees were empty; in 1941 they began to make a triangle with sides of 10 mm. The middle command staff had squares in their buttonholes. Senior commanders wore rectangles, which were popularly called sleepers. Senior commanders had a diamond. A special insignia was a chevron made of gold braid on the sleeve of the uniform. The Marshal of the USSR had a large gold star in his buttonholes and on his sleeve.

The system of distinctions in the army changed frequently, this greatly complicated the situation. Due to supply disruptions, some units may have worn old uniforms or hand-made insignia for a long time. The buttonhole system was canceled, but after it the distribution of colors by type of troops remained.

Shoulder straps in our time

Military rank can be determined by the characteristics of the shoulder straps. Sewn on sergeant's shoulder straps in red. In the aviation, airborne, and aerospace forces, the shoulder straps are blue. Dress shirts are green. The field uniform has detachable sergeant shoulder straps in camouflage colors.

Sergeant shoulder straps have a distance of 25 mm from the edge of the shoulder straps to the first stripe. To distinguish junior employees in the Russian army, badges are used. These are special trailer strips. The junior sergeant's stripes have one stripe. The next military rank has two narrow 10 mm sergeant stripes on its shoulder straps. The distance between the tabs is 5 mm. The senior sergeant has one wide stripe on his shoulder straps - a stripe.

Sergeant of the Ground Forces and Sergeant Major of the Navy, these ranks correspond to each other, they have shoulder straps of a similar pattern. The upper part of the shoulder strap has the shape of a trapezoid, with a button located on it. The color of the shoulder straps of the Russian armed forces is dark green for everyday uniforms, for the field version - camouflage shoulder straps. Sailors have black shoulder straps.

The galloon on the shoulder straps comes in different colors; it indicates the type of military service. The shoulder straps of the Airborne Forces and Aviation are edged with blue braid, and red for all other branches of the Russian army. The Navy has galloons on the shoulder straps of a white shade.

At a distance of 15 mm from the bottom edge of everyday shoulder straps there are the letters “VS” - Armed Forces or “F” - navy, embossed with golden threads. Shoulder straps for field exercises do not have such inscriptions. On the shoulder straps, sergeant major is the highest rank of non-commissioned officers and has the emblem of the military branch.

New requirements for wearing shoulder straps have been established since 2017. Removable shoulder straps are attached to the uniform jacket. Epaulets with a field of specially woven braid are sewn onto everyday uniforms. On outerwear and woolen items, removable shoulder straps are attached with a field of galloon.

For this, in addition to the jacket itself and shoulder straps, you will need a ruler, scissors, a needle, a thimble and strong red thread. Be sure to wear a thimble, even if you are used to sewing without one, as sometimes the needle passes through the shoulder straps with great difficulty, and you can injure your fingers. If you find it difficult to pull the needle and thread out of the shoulder strap, you can use pliers or tweezers. 1) First of all, prepare the shoulder straps, i.e. attach all the required insignia to it, since it will be much more difficult to do this on an already sewn shoulder strap. 2) Take the shoulder strap and position it so that the side farthest from the button is close to the seam that connects the shoulder of the jacket to the sleeve. At the same time, the upper edge of the shoulder strap, directed towards the back, should overlap the seam running along the shoulder by 1 cm. In other words, the shoulder strap should be slightly moved forward. 3) Thread a needle and fasten the shoulder strap to the jacket at three points: at the corners of the shoulder strap, at the place where it comes into contact with the sleeve seam and in the center of the semicircular cut. Now the shoulder strap will be securely fastened and will not move from the correct position during the sewing process. 4) Then very carefully sew the shoulder strap around the perimeter, making stitches in such a way that only barely visible points remain on its surface in those places where the needle enters the shoulder strap, and the thread between two adjacent holes passes mainly from the wrong side (along the lining) of the jacket . Then the thread will not be noticeable even if its color does not exactly match the color of the shoulder straps. In this case, the optimal length of each stitch should be about 1 cm. 5) With the second shoulder strap, follow the same pattern. How to strengthen lapel emblems? On the collar of the jacket - along the bisector (a line dividing the corner of the collar in half), at a distance of 25 mm from the corner of the collar to the center of the emblem, the vertical axis of symmetry of the emblem should be parallel to the flight of the collar.

The military is not a profession for weaklings. You need to be in excellent physical shape and have an iron character to defend our Motherland. A military man is also characterized by unshakable willpower and strict discipline. A military career begins at a very young age and ends at a very old age. Although, as they say, there are no former military men. This profession leaves an imprint on you for life. Very often, military families adopt the good habits of their owner in the home. They have perfect cleanliness and order, everything is laid out on shelves. There is a clear daily routine that a military man cannot do without.

Men who serve our Fatherland strive to receive more and more stars and achieve new titles, climbing the career ladder higher and higher. Winning and conquering new heights is a calling for a real man. It is these qualities that attract the female sex so much, and the military uniform becomes a symbol of a true defender not only of the state, but also of the family hearth. With such a man, any girl will be like behind a stone wall.

What are military shoulder straps and what is the arrangement of stars on the shoulder straps? How are the shoulder straps of a junior lieutenant different from the shoulder straps of a senior lieutenant? What distance should be between stars? What titles are there? You will find the answer to all these questions in our article.

What are shoulder straps? These are insignia that are usually attached to the shoulders of a service member's clothing.

Shoulder straps are used to distinguish:

• military ranks;
• positions;
• what organization or department does the person serve in;
• what service rank does a military man have?

In addition to military personnel in the Russian Federation, shoulder straps must be worn by:

1. Police workers.
2. Prosecutor's office employees.
3. Tax Inspectorate.
4. Workers in the transport sector. For example: railway workers; sailors; people who are involved in civil aviation.
5. Specialized security services.

The history of the appearance of shoulder straps and stars

These distinctive signs date back to the times of knights and noble tournaments. Only in those days were they made of metal and attached to knightly armor. They depicted coat of arms and family insignia. They served to keep the sword belt (a part of military uniform that is used to carry bladed weapons and firearms) from slipping and sliding. Therefore, in those days there was only one metal shield on the shoulders of knightly armor.

For the first time in our country, shoulder straps appeared during the reign of Peter 1 in the 17th century. They were part of only the soldiers' uniforms; officers did not wear shoulder straps.

In the Soviet Union, distinctive signs appeared in 1943 during the Great Patriotic War. They were used only for the Red Army.

Asterisks indicate ranks. They are attached to shoulder straps. The more stars, the higher the rank. It also matters what size they are and what material they are made of. The diameter of the stars and their number increases with each increase in rank: from ensign to colonel general.

They first appeared on officer's shoulder straps in 1827, and became a badge of honor in 1854.

What military ranks exist in the Russian Federation

In Russia there are only two types of military ranks: military and naval forces.

The military composition of Russian military personnel consists of the following ranks:

• Private. This is the lowest rank of a soldier who has just entered service. Assigned upon presentation of a military ID.
• Corporal. Second highest rank. Given to a distinguished cadet.
• Lance Sergeant. This is a full-time position.
• Sergeant. This is a military rank that belongs to junior personnel. A serviceman with this rank can already be a squad commander and have full command of it.
• Staff Sergeant. The rank is assigned after sergeant .
• Sergeant Major. The highest rank a soldier can receive during military service.
• Ensign. Above sergeant major, but not yet lieutenant.
• Senior Warrant Officer. Higher in rank than warrant officer.
• Ensign. The first rank in junior officers. It can only be obtained by a person with a higher education.
• Lieutenant. A rank higher in rank than junior lieutenant. This is already a full-fledged platoon commander.
• Senior Lieutenant. The rank refers to junior officers, higher than lieutenant. Popularly called starley.
• Captain. The last level of junior officers.
• Major. First rank of senior officer.
• Lieutenant colonel. One step higher than major.
• Colonel. The last rank in senior officers.
• Major General. The first step in senior officers.
• Lieutenant General. Higher rank than major general.
• Colonel General. Senior officers.
• Army General. Assigned to a Colonel General. This is the highest rank for an officer.
• Marshal of Russia. An honorary title that cannot be obtained in peacetime. Assigned only by the President of the Russian Federation.

To rise from private to junior lieutenant, at least 10 years of conscientious and honest service must pass. And to rise to the rank of captain, you must have more than 20 years of service from the start of your service.

What is the difference between the shoulder straps of junior and senior squads?

You can see the distinctive features of shoulder straps in the figure.

The distinctive insignia of junior command personnel may contain the so-called stripes or chevrons- metallic differences in the form of stripes and corners on shoulder straps. The first stars appear on a soldier who has risen to the rank of ensign.

The junior lieutenant appears clearance on shoulder straps(distinctive element, straight stripe) and one star, the eldest has one gap and three stars.

The senior officers already have two gaps. The size of stars and their number also increase. The colonel has three stars and two gaps.

Higher officers do not have gaps, but the stars become much larger.

It is not difficult to distinguish a serviceman's rank by shoulder straps. You can easily determine where the junior lieutenant is and where the captain is.

What should be the distance of the stars?

The stars on the shoulder straps from ensign to captain have a standard diameter of 13 mm. For senior officers, the diameter is 2 cm. Senior officers wear stars with a diameter of 2.2 cm.

The distance between the stars on the ensign is 2.5 cm (from the edge of the shoulder strap to the middle of the first star). The junior lieutenant's star is located at a distance of 4.5 cm from the edge.

The distance of the stars for a starley and an ordinary lieutenant is 2.5 cm from the edge. The major and major general have a distance of 4.5 cm.

Rules for placing distinctive signs on military personnel's clothing

There are no strict rules for placement, however, you need to know some wearing features. Decals are usually attached to a shirt or jacket from military uniform. In winter, shoulder straps are sewn onto outerwear.

There can be two types depending on the method of fastening:

• sewn;
• removable.

There are also distinctive signs on ceremonial uniforms with fringe. Such signs are called epaulet.

Distinctive insignia become for the military the most desirable and worthy reward for services to the Fatherland; they are worn with their heads held high and with special dignity. This, to some extent, can be called the face of an officer, because by the number of stars and gaps you can find out what the military man has achieved in his career. Each rank promotion is given with sweat and blood. It takes a lot of effort to achieve the desired result. Military personnel put their lives in danger every day to ensure we can sleep well and have peaceful skies above our heads.

Probably everyone knows what shoulder straps are. That's right, these are insignia used in state security or paramilitary structures - army, police, and so on. Those who served in the army can easily distinguish a lieutenant from a lieutenant colonel. Meanwhile, for many, the location of the stars on the shoulder straps does not mean anything.

Brief information about shoulder straps of officers and warrant officers of the Russian police

First, let's note one important point. In Russia, officer's shoulder straps for military personnel and police officers have the same appearance. Naturally, we are talking here about the size of the stars and their location. This, by the way, also applies to warrant officers. The colors, of course, will be different everywhere. Accordingly, in order to find out the rank of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you need to look at the size of the stars on his shoulder straps (large or small), their number and location. After all, all the parameters here are regulated by the relevant order. This means that the perpetrator may be subject to disciplinary action for violations.

All ranks in the Russian police are generally divided into 4 groups of commanding personnel:

• junior - sergeants, sergeant major, warrant officers;
• middle - lieutenants, captain;
• senior – major, lieutenant colonel, colonel;
• highest – general.

Let's look at these points in more detail. First, let's determine how many stars correspond to a particular title. In addition, let's clarify their size. So, the following rules currently apply in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The diameter of the stars for petty officers, warrant officers, lieutenants and captains is 13 millimeters each. Moreover, their number, as mentioned above, differs depending on the rank, and sergeants and sergeants have stripes on their shoulder straps. The lieutenant has 2 stars (the senior has 3), the captain has 4.

Now we move on to the senior command staff. All ranks of this group have two longitudinal stripes of red color on their shoulder straps - they are also called clearance. By the way, junior command staff also have them, but one at a time. The number of stars is from 1 to 3. The youngest rank here is major. On the chase in this case there is 1 star with a diameter of 20 millimeters, located on the center line.

More senior ranks are lieutenant colonel and colonel. They have 2 and 3 20mm stars on their shoulder straps, respectively.

And, finally, the highest commanding staff - major general, lieutenant general, colonel general and police general. The first three ranks have 1, 2 and 3 22mm stars on their shoulder straps, respectively. Separately, it is worth dwelling on the title of “police general”. Currently, it has been assigned to only one person - the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If someone else replaces him in this position, the ex-minister will be called a retired police general. The thing is that the titles are assigned to law enforcement officers forever. Well, the minister’s successor, accordingly, will become a police general. In this case, it is easy to understand that this is the most important person in this structure. On the police general's chase there is 1 star with a diameter of 40 millimeters.

Now let's look at one more point. We are talking about the distance from the edge of the shoulder straps to the center of the first star. This is regulated very strictly. In particular, here are the distances for different ranks (the numbers in millimeters are given in parentheses):

• major general (50);
• Colonel General, Lieutenant General (25);
• major, junior lieutenant (45);
• colonel, lieutenant colonel, captain, lieutenants, warrant officers (30).

These are not all the numbers that matter. If police officers have several stars on their shoulder straps, then the distance between them should be exactly 25 millimeters. In fact, all the requirements listed above remain from Soviet times. Therefore, knowledgeable people can easily distinguish a lieutenant from a lieutenant colonel. The location of the stars on their shoulder straps is the same, but the size is different. The diameter of a lieutenant colonel, as mentioned above, is 20 millimeters versus 13 for a lieutenant. By the same criterion one can also distinguish a major from an ensign.

There are also requirements for the placement of chevrons on the sleeve. They can be sewn on or secured with Velcro. However, the first option is considered more reliable. That is, the risk of accidentally losing a chevron and thereby disrupting the uniform of clothing is much higher here. Therefore, despite the innovation, almost all police officers still sew the chevron at the required distance - 8 centimeters from the edge of the shoulder. The only exception is made for winter jackets. If they have an outer pocket on the sleeve, then the chevron should be located in its central part. In this case, the requirement to maintain a distance of 8 centimeters from the edge of the shoulder may not be adhered to.

Now let's talk about the "Police" patches on jackets. There are also certain requirements for their location. So, the patch on the back should be located at a distance of 1 centimeter from the red transverse line there. Approximately the same rule applies to “facials”. Only in this case the patch is located at a distance of 1 centimeter above the patch pocket.
