Today in the army units special purpose, but simply - GRU special forces - will be celebrated with special pomp. October 24 occupies a special place in the life of any special forces soldier simply because it is a memorable day in his honor, in honor of everyone who, over the past half-century or more, has given up public life in exchange for the right to always be on the front line, even in peacetime. But this year the special forces units of the Russian Army are celebrating their 65th anniversary.

Although the special forces are more than respectable in age, their fighters are celebrating their professional day for only the ninth time. Special Forces Day is one of the 14 memorable days of the Armed Forces Russian Federation- was established only on May 31, 2006, by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin No. 549 “On the establishment of professional holidays and memorable days in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.”

By order of Marshal Vasilevsky

The date of the memorable “special forces” day was chosen due to the fact that it was on October 24, 1950 that the directive of the Minister of the USSR Armed Forces and the Minister of War of the USSR, Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky, and the Chief of the General Staff, General Sergei Shtemenko, No. Org/2/395832, was signed. With this document, 46 separate special-purpose companies were created in combined-arms and mechanized armies, as well as in military districts that do not have army formations, under the leadership of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the General Staff.

Each of these mouths according to staffing table had a strength of 120 people. Thus, in the first “conscription” of Soviet special forces there were 5,520 fighters. Moreover, most of them, primarily company and platoon commanders, were front-line soldiers with extensive experience. After all, despite the fact that formally the Soviet army never had special forces units, in fact special forces have existed in Russia, perhaps, since the time of Catherine II. After all, it was she who initiated the resettlement of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, who by that time already had a characteristic set of techniques and tactics, which a century later became known to the whole world under the name “Plastun grips.” Cossack plastuns should rightfully be considered the forerunner of modern special forces units.

During the First World War, there were no permanent special forces units in the Russian Imperial Army: their functions were performed in the Cossack units by the same plastuns, and in the regular units by the so-called hunting teams, engaged in both front-line and deep reconnaissance. And only in 1918, under the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, special purpose units - CHON - were formed. However, their task was different: not so much reconnaissance as sabotage, subversive and counterintelligence work, in essence, but the tactics and techniques used were essentially the same.

And only in April 1942 the first units appeared in the Red Army, the name of which included the phrase “special purpose”. During this period, several special-purpose engineering brigades were formed, which were intended to deploy mine warfare. Each such brigade consisted of five to seven battalions of engineering barriers, one or two electrical battalions, which were responsible for the construction of electrified wire barriers, and a special mining battalion, whose specialization was radio-controlled mines and landmines.

The importance attached to these units and how specific the skills possessed by the fighters of these brigades can be judged by simple fact. At the same time, in April 1942, Colonel Ilya Starinov, the “grandfather of Soviet special forces,” a saboteur who had already become a legend, was appointed commander of the 5th separate engineer special forces brigade. Civil War in Spain and the Winter War with Finland.

From the Korean jungle to the Afghan mountains

But still, all these predecessors and forerunners were not yet fully the special forces that in the end cold war scared the most desperate thugs from NATO special forces units. First of all, because they were not given the specific tasks that the GRU army special forces were supposed to solve. And his duties were charged with deep reconnaissance, also known as special-purpose reconnaissance, which was to be conducted in the deepest rear of the enemy.

Despite the traditional name, such reconnaissance pursued completely unconventional goals. In the event of the outbreak of the Third World War, the newly formed special forces units were supposed to move far beyond the line of contact of ground forces and operate in close proximity to command posts and other strategic targets of the enemy. It was there that the GRU special forces were supposed to engage in sabotage and reconnaissance activities, depending on the situation, giving preference either to sabotage or data collection.

Therefore, the tasks of the SpN GRU - this is the abbreviation that very soon began to denote these units - included the destruction of control posts, silo and ground launchers of operational-tactical and ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, strategic bombers and nuclear submarines - carriers of nuclear weapons. And there is no need to talk about such usual matters for saboteurs as violating enemy control, communications, power supply and communications systems. In practice, the special forces - at least as far as is known, but not everything or even half is known about its activities! - I have never had to do exactly this kind of work. But in fact, it was possible to organize and wage a guerrilla war in the second half of the twentieth century.

By the end of 1963, the original special forces companies had grown into entire brigades. Initially there were only ten of them, but in the end, after a few years, each Soviet military district and each fleet had one such unit, plus there was another unit reporting directly to the GRU of the General Staff - that is, in total there were 21 GRU special forces brigades in the Soviet army. As far as we know, Soviet special forces carried out individual combat missions during the Korean War of 1950–1953, and in several local conflicts in the Middle East, and during the Vietnam War in 1965–1975.

But the biggest and most difficult test for them was Afghan war 1979–1989 Groups, detachments, separate battalions, and regiments from two GRU special forces brigades - the 15th and 22nd - operated on Afghan soil, and they had the most difficult missions. Complete statistics on these units are, of course, not and cannot be publicly available. But from those fragmentary data that began to leak to the press (and sometimes openly declassified - for reasons that one can only guess about), it is possible to put together such a mosaic. The 15th Special Forces Brigade alone, in 1985–1989 alone, lost 140 soldiers and officers killed, and itself managed to destroy and capture about 9,000 dushmans, including several dozen major leaders of gangs.

Always on guard

The GRU special forces did the same colossal work as in Afghanistan a decade later during two Chechen campaigns and many local conflicts in the territory former USSR. It is difficult to calculate how many Russian soldiers and officers of ordinary units were saved by soldiers whose chevrons bear the silhouette of a bat - the traditional emblem of the Russian GRU special forces. But there is no doubt that the people who in the 90s survived the subsequent collapse of the army and who, only thanks to their enthusiasm and loyalty to the oath, preserved domestic special forces units, did much more than they say.

Today, the special forces units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation include 14 units: eight separate brigades scattered across four military districts, a separate special forces regiment and a separate special purpose center “Senezh”, as well as four naval reconnaissance points - the so-called naval units special forces

The total number of these units is classified - as it should be. But we can say with confidence that modern Russian special forces, both professional officers and soldiers and sergeants, are considered urgent and contract service, goes into the thousands. And all of them today, for sure - except perhaps those who are on combat duty - will make three traditional toasts: to us, to the special forces and to those who are no longer with them. But who we must always remember are those whose peace was and is being protected by soldiers of Russian special forces units.

Where did it come from? bat", which served as the emblem for many years military intelligence USSR and Russia, and even after the official replacement with carnations with grenades, did not leave the headquarters of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia?

Intermonitor conducted its own investigation into this issue.

We found a mention of the origin of the “Bat” as a symbol of military intelligence, which has authorship, in an authoritative publication - the magazine “National Forecast”, published by ITAR-TASS Ural. It is, in principle, typical for ITAR-TASS to verify information - therefore such a source deserves attention.

“The symbol of Russian military intelligence was invented by a journalist from Yekaterinburg. He claims that while serving in the Northern Fleet special forces in 1987, he drew the emblem for his group - a bat inscribed in a globe. It was used to “stencil” the overalls of all the fighters and commanders of the group. For the first time, the Severomorsk emblem was publicly “lit up” in the summer of 1988 at the championship of special forces units in Pechory (now Estonian Petseri). The group then participated in the special forces championship for the first time, but performed successfully, and the emblem on the chest of the “Navy Seals” was remembered by the USSR intelligence elite. A few years later, unit commander Gennady Ivanovich Zakharov, already with the rank of rear admiral, with the “core” of his combat swimmers, went to serve in the security of President Yeltsin. And the bat, invented then for internal circulation, took on a life of its own.”, — the publication said.

Thanks to the fact that the Intermonitor editorial office is located in Yekaterinburg, we were able to find eyewitnesses of this event and question them.

Former North Sea special forces (currently serving in a number of Russian special services) confirmed the information of the National Forecast. According to the eyewitnesses we interviewed, that mouse was exactly like the illustration in our material, but the globe was not round, but oval. Parallels and meridians were present on it. The mouse itself was exactly the same. And yet - there was not a single letter. The overalls had only the emblem and numbers - each fighter had his own number. For example, the number 1412 meant “141 reconnaissance group, 2nd number.”

In 2002, "Bat" was replaced by carnation. How says newsru.com, this happened after a major scandal: “Even the department of military heraldry and symbolism, specially created in 1994 at the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, was unable to organize the riot of animals, birds and skulls that were spread out on military patches. On this moment no one can say exactly how many types of sleeve patches exist in the Russian army.

The last straw that broke the patience of the military commanders was the prank of one of the GRU special forces brigades. The special forces broke into the heraldry department and demanded that another scorpion be approved as a symbol of the brigade. The response was tough: a single emblem was introduced for the entire GRU.”

Counts, that the red carnation is “a symbol of perseverance, devotion, inflexibility and determination in achieving goals,” and the three-flamed grenada is “the historical sign of the grenadiers, the most trained military personnel of the elite units.”

It is noteworthy that even after replacing the “Bat” with the “Red Carnation”, not only the special forces and “pear soldiers” did not stop considering “mice” as their symbol, but also the “Bat” remained on the floor in the headquarters of the Main Intelligence Directorate, adjacent to the “Carnation” attached to the wall of the hall.

Army tattoos can be safely combined into separate groups. Many, who have already served, attach special significance to the drawings on the skin. First of all, it is a union of people, regiments, companies, etc. Secondly, with this kind of tattoo you can immediately find “your people” and understand who belongs to which division. The Main Intelligence Directorate, abbreviated as GRU, also boasts its tattoos, among which the bat stands out. This creature, in fact, is a symbol of the troops. There are also brooches in the shape of a bat, which are worn by experienced intelligence officers who do not want to leave marks on their skin.

GRU. History of origin

The Main Intelligence Directorate is an external intelligence agency reporting to the Ministry of Defense. Many note that the predecessor of this type of troops can be considered the Special Chancellery, which existed during the Russian Empire. According to most historians, it was this body that contributed to the emergence of military-political intelligence in the USSR. Similar organizations have also met before. For example, the Order of Secret Affairs, which arose under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich.

Yours modern name The GRU received in 1942, when, according to the order of the People's Commissar of Defense, the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army was once again renamed. The GRU tattoo, a photo of which can be found on the Internet, looks really proud. This is due to the fact that many military personnel are happy to represent a department with such a long history.

Bat and Gru

Why is the bat considered the symbol of the Main Intelligence Directorate? The fact is that this creature also leads nightlife. Besides, intelligence has always been octane with secrets. Just like these creatures, incomprehensible to many, cause fear and are able to hide in the dark. This is a kind of symbol of invisibility. However, this type of tattoo is not only applied to military personnel. People who did not join the military can also use such an image.

Did you know? The GRU tattoo, the meaning of which is associated with the image of a bat, is preferably applied to the shoulder or chest. At the same time, a person who has no connection with the army in general, or with the GRU in particular, can choose any place for the drawing. This kind of image looks good in both small and large formats. Therefore, it is placed on the back, neck, arms, and forearms. In the female version, it can be located behind the ear.

The meaning of a bat tattoo

The nocturnal creature, frightening in its appearance, gave rise to many legends. At the same time, the bat performed in both good and bad roles. Therefore, the meaning of the tattoo is ambiguous:

• invisibility. In GRU tattoos, the design of which is mixed with the image of a mouse, the meaning of the image is quite clearly expressed. Like a bat, a scout must remain undetected, be able to deceive the enemy, and hide in the dark;
• insight. The ancient Greeks believed that it was the bat that had the ability of clairvoyance. These creatures could recognize the future and predict the actions of opponents. Also, some peoples turned to bats for help, guessing the weather by their behavior;
• vigilance. Catching a mouse is quite difficult. Perhaps this is another one reason for which this type tattoo was chosen as the symbol of the GRU;
• valor and honor. A person who has this kind of tattoo acts as a protector of the weak. For him, the words “duty” and “justice” mean a lot;
• sign of good luck. The image of a bat is often used in greeting cards in China. In this country, the creatures are very popular. Their image is considered a harbinger of happiness and good luck.

A bat and a parachute are typical GRU tattoo symbols

What else can be depicted on a tattoo?

A bat on the shoulder of a GRU officer is not always alone. It is often accompanied by signatures containing the date of service and unit number. The tattoo itself most often does not have unnecessary details and is depicted in black and white. Occasionally it is decorated with sayings that appeal to the owner of the image.

A tattoo with a small bat is a memory of service in intelligence. Initially I didn’t want to leave any marks on the skin, but now I don’t regret anything. The mouse is neat, with widely spread wings. Looks aggressive. But I really like her. I didn’t bother pinning down the part number either. But now not everyone will understand whether this is a tribute to fashion, or a tattoo with meaning.

Bat in legends

The image of the bat was frightening and fascinating. Perhaps that's why The image of a vampire has long been associated with these creatures. Also in a number of countries it was believed that the bat was capable of absorbing the sun and all sunlight. The ancient Romans attributed sharp vision to these creatures, so in antiquity they were considered a symbol of vigilance. However, as scientists have proven, this opinion was erroneous. A bat's vision is not perfect. In the Middle Ages, they came to the conclusion that these creatures were an echo of the souls of sinners. That is why they have such an unpresentable appearance and are forced to live without sunlight.

Did you know? According to one legend, bats are winged messengers of death serving in the underworld. All this happened because the god Dionysus was angry with the three royal daughters. For lack of reverence, the deity turned them into ugly creatures.

There is an opinion that the traditional symbol of Russian military intelligence is a bat. However, few people know when and under what circumstances these bats unexpectedly acquired such a status. Since time immemorial, the annual holiday of military unit 45807, better known as the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, has been celebrated on November 5. On this day, in 1918, by secret order The Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic No. 197/27 announced the staff of the Field Headquarters of the RVSR, within which a Registration Directorate was created, which was in charge of all issues of human intelligence. And although this staff was approved by the Deputy Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council E.M. Sklyansky, Commander-in-Chief of all Armed Forces of the Republic I.I. Vatsetis and member of the Revolutionary Military Council K.Kh. Danishevsky four days earlier on November 1, and in order No. 1 on the Register of November 8, 1918 it was said: “The Registration Directorate of the Field Headquarters of the RVSR is considered formed from November 1 of this year. ...”, later the 5th day became the day of the annual holiday. November 5 acquired its “open” status only on October 12, 2000, when the Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 490 established Military Intelligence Day.

But let's go back to 1993, when domestic military intelligence was preparing to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its creation. For this anniversary, someone who is fond of heraldry from among the GRU1 employees decided to present a gift to his colleagues in the form of new symbols. This proposal received the support of the head of the GRU, Colonel General F.I. Ladygina. By that time, as is known, the Airborne Forces2, as well as the Russian contingent of peacekeeping forces in Transnistria (the letters “MS” on a blue rectangular patch) had already acquired their own officially approved sleeve insignia. We do not know whether the “heraldists-intelligence officers” and whether their bosses or not, they nevertheless circumvented the law. In the second half of October, the GRU prepared a draft report from the Chief of the General Staff addressed to the Minister of Defense, with a description and drawings of two sleeve insignia attached: for military intelligence agencies and special-purpose military units. October 22 F.I. Ladygin signed it “by hand” from the Chief of the General Staff, Colonel General M.P. Kolesnikov, and the next day the Minister of Defense, Army General P.S. Grachev approved the descriptions and drawings of the sleeve insignia.

So the bat became a symbol of military intelligence and special forces units. However, in the GRU, as well as intelligence departments of the species armed forces, districts and fleets, the sleeve insignia approved for them was never worn for obvious reasons. But its numerous varieties quickly spread throughout military, artillery and engineering reconnaissance units and units, as well as anti-sabotage warfare. They were also widely used in special purpose formations and units. various options sleeve insignia made based on the approved design. But starting in 1998, the bat began to gradually be replaced by a new symbol of military intelligence, the red carnation, which was proposed by the famous heraldist Yu.V. Abaturov. Initially it appears on the breastplate “For Service in Military Intelligence”5, in 2000 it becomes an element of the large emblem and the new sleeve insignia of the GRU6 and, finally, in 2005 it finally occupies a central place on all heraldic insignia, including sleeve patches.

It remains to add that the palm in the use of the image of a bat belongs to the air forces of Great Britain and the United States: bats first appeared on the emblems of British and American squadrons during the First World War. In the early 1920s, they became widespread in the aviation of the US Navy and Marine Corps, and in the Second world war in the Royal Canadian and South African Air Forces. The image of a bat is used on the emblem of military intelligence South Korea and Israeli naval intelligence. As for “our” bat, it was borrowed and is still used on the sleeve insignia of reconnaissance units of the Ukrainian armed forces (16th, 26th and 54th separate reconnaissance battalions, 1457th reconnaissance artillery regiment, 50th special training center, special forces units) and Belarus (113th separate reconnaissance battalion, reconnaissance units of the 103rd and 317th separate mobile brigades, 153rd separate radio engineering brigade, 12th and 83rd communications centers, troops special purpose). At the same time, the sleeve insignia of the Belarusian mobile brigades are almost identical to their Russian counterparts.

Russian military intelligence is closed government agency, which in its design has not undergone dramatic changes since 1991. For similar special services Certain emblems are used throughout the world. The symbol of Russian intelligence is a bat, which for a long time denoted belonging not only to the GRU, but also to special units of the KGB. This emblem has remained relevant to this day, despite its recent official replacement by the display of a red carnation with grenades.

History of appearance

The intelligence symbol is directly related to the formation of the Soviet service, which was organized in November 1918. The Revolutionary Military Council approved the structure of the special registration department, which was the prototype of the modern GRU unit.

In reality, at that time, a certain staff was created, which in a matter of years acquired the largest intelligence network in the world. Moreover, even terrorist attacks in the thirties could not destabilize the Intelligence Directorate. Superiors and subordinates used a variety of ways of working. Even the famous resident Richard Sorge refused to return to the Soviet Union, realizing that nothing good awaited him there.

The role of military intelligence

Before telling where the intelligence symbol came from, it is necessary to outline the role of this organization in difficult times (the war with Germany and the accompanying preliminary and subsequent provocations). As a result, the intelligence department managed to outplay the Abwehr, which was considered one of the most constructive and most effective units.

It is not very well known that the partisans in the confrontation between Germany and Soviet Union were also part of a thoughtful and well-planned plan by the intelligence agency. Behind enemy lines, partisan detachments were organized and concentrated, which did not wear the reconnaissance symbol on their clothes, but were prepared to resist and conduct combat operations in accordance with the science and characteristics of the GRU. Special forces groups allowed individual units to be part of the regular army, which made it possible to strengthen the troops. This was extremely important, especially given the likely nuclear threat.

About symbolism

Special forces units were trained to penetrate enemy territory in order to obtain information about the intentions of hostile countries and conduct other non-standard operations.

The bat became the symbol of military intelligence. Everything is simple here - this animal is secretive in nature, makes little noise, but hears everything. Often, members of such groups did not serve directly, remaining special forces, ready at any moment to play the role of a soldier, grenade launcher or sniper. This community became more or less open after the fall of 2000. On November 5, the official Day of Military Intelligence was introduced by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Heraldry

The reconnaissance symbol “bat” began to appear on the chevrons of the corresponding units. The first mention of this sign is attributed by many to the special OBRSpN brigade. For a long period the whole situation was unofficial. After the collapse of the USSR, the situation in the army changed, in elite units began to consider and accept official intelligence symbols.

One of the significant dates in this regard was the 75th anniversary of the formation of the GRU (1993). For this anniversary, a completely unknown person from the intelligence officers decided to provide his colleagues with new image intelligence agency emblems. The idea was supported by Colonel General F. Ladygin, who served as head of the GRU. The accompanying units and peacekeeping contingent did not lag behind the reconnaissance officers). There is very little information about who put more effort into developing their own heraldry.

At the end of October 1993, the heads of intelligence units were able to prepare a draft report with a description and drawing applications of sleeve insignia and chevrons. At the suggestion of General Kolesnikov, the document was signed by F.I. Ladygin.

Defense Minister Grachev approved it on October 23. Thus, the bat became the symbol of military intelligence. Such a choice cannot be called random. This animal is one of the most secretive and mysterious creatures. It carries out all its vital tasks under cover of darkness and secretly, which is the key to success when conducting reconnaissance operations.

The bat is a symbol of military intelligence

Designed and created symbol by employees intelligence agencies and their branches were almost never worn openly for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, its varieties quickly spread throughout the accompanying engineering, anti-sabotage and artillery units. Some special units used modified sleeve emblems, the essence of which was directly related to the original.

In any Russian intelligence department, the symbol is combined with some animal or bird. Much depends on the characteristics of the branch and geographical location. An equally popular image after the bat was the wolf.

Red clove

It is believed that this symbol of intelligence, the photo of which is given below, identifies perseverance, devotion, inflexibility and determination in achieving one’s goals. Grenada with three flames symbolizes the historical image of the grenadiers, considered the most trained members of the elite military units.

Since 1998, the “bat mouse” began to supplant the “red carnation”. This symbol of Russian military intelligence was proposed by the heraldist-artist Yu. Abaturov. The main advantage of this sign is the role of a flower as an identification mark, known to everyone since Soviet films. The number of petals characterizes five types of divisions:

• Ground reconnaissance.
• Information Agency.
• Air units.
• Maritime Diocese.
• Special group.

In addition, there is a hint of the five continents globe and a similar number of senses necessary for a scout. Initially, this emblem was displayed on awards “For service in military intelligence.” Then it appeared on the sleeves and chevrons of GRU officers (2000).

Innovations

It is worth noting that the updated symbol of Russian military intelligence initially caused a storm of emotions of misunderstanding among special forces officers and soldiers. Once the decisive role of the reforms became clear, the excitement subsided. At the same time, the “bat” did not disappear anywhere, remaining a cult symbol in the memory, on the tattoos and memories of the people involved. This fact directly answers the question of why the bat has essentially remained a symbol of Russian intelligence forever.

In 2002, the championship is still given to the “red carnation with grenades”. This is largely due to the fact that special forces tried to create their own emblem, different from other analogues. As a result, it became almost impossible to organize all the predators, birds and herbivores that the warriors wanted to see on their stripes.

This is even despite the fact that in 1994 a special department was created responsible for military heraldry and symbols. It got to the point that the said department was not able to count the existing number and types of sleeve patches. This became the prerequisite for the creation of a single emblem of military intelligence. It is noteworthy that in the main office of the GRU of the Russian Federation, the mark with the “bat” still remains on the floor. There is a new sign there too, only on the walls.

Users' opinions

As some experts note in their comments, the emblem of “Batman”, or the bat, in the Soviet Union was an official one of the special units under the code number “897”.

A stencil sketch of a bat was applied to equipment, machinery and personal items. According to the charter, other drawings and displays with animals, birds or other symbols were unacceptable. Nevertheless, similar marks were used by the legendary special forces such as “459” or “TurkVO” (scorpion, wolf, bear).

Additional Information

In any case, the bat is an emblem that unites almost all retired and active intelligence officers in a kind of squad of exclusivity and unity. In this matter, the factor of discussing a specific unit or GRU is not important. All these people are doing their job, realizing the maximum possible results as defenders of the Motherland and justice.

Let's summarize

In general, it can be argued that the bat is the main element of the symbolism of Russian military intelligence. Despite the appearance of the “red carnation”, the emblem did not pass own positions, appearing on chevrons, flags and related folklore. After the development of the grenadine-floral composition, many GRU officers and special forces found opportunities to display the “mice” on their “standards”. Moreover, this also applies to the management team, including the main headquarters, the walls of which are decorated with this very emblem.

Today, the Second Main Directorate of the General Staff (GRU GSH) is a powerful military unit, the exact information about which (in terms of composition and organization) is a military secret. The updated center of this organization has been operating since the beginning of November 2006. The delivery of the facility was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the revolution; it is from there that the most important and useful intelligence information comes from, influencing further action special units and units. The building is designed according to modern technologies, taking into account special safety. Most premises can only be accessed by people with a special pass, controlled by various parameters. But at the entrance there is a three-dimensional emblem of the military intelligence of the Russian Federation.
