What does 3 stars on the pursuit mean. Militia (police) Shooting and titles in pictures

The article is updated 01/08/2019.
Want to know what militia shoulder straps? In fact, it is important to represent with whom you have on the road or in the city, but the title can be defined only on the pursuit. Not always representatives of the police will call their title and name with the surname, although it is mandatory.

Why understand Police (police) titles?

Imagine you are traveling on the road by car and you stop the inspector. How to contact him if he did not introduce himself? You can simply say "Comrade Policeman", but much better, of course, by rank. The same applies to situations on the street, if you walk. In general, it is just necessary to know the title and epaulets. Moreover, they changed a little in appearance after the police renamed the police.

Picture with chains

In order to be easier to figure out, we look at the image below:

Here I divided the pursuit of two rows for clarity, so watches.
In the first row (upper), we have the following ranks from our direction:

• Ordinary police;
• Lance Sergeant;
• Sergeant;
• Staff Sergeant;
• Senior police;
• Police officer;
• Senior Warrant Officer;

All this was the younger boss, with the exception of "ordinary", of course. The second row is much more interesting, as the titles of medium and older compositions are presented here. Also from left to right, Lower range:

• Junior Police Lieutenant;
• Lieutenant;
• Senior lieutenant;
• Police Captain;
• Police Major;
• Lieutenant colonel;
• Police Colonel.

The last three belongs to the elder boss, the rest to the average. Now you will be aware if you suddenly stop the employee and will demand something from you. You will be able to determine his rank on the chains.

The highest boss. Shooting generals

Many asked in the comments to supplement the article and add General Shores. Fair comments. Although, of course, the general will not stop you on the street, but for the general development to know how his epaulets look like, you need:

As you can see, they differ from the usual pursuit of their unusual shape. Let's list what the title here are presented (from left to right):

• Major General Police;
• Lieutenant-general police;
• Police Colonel-General;
• Police General of the Russian Federation;

Now you know everything about the titles of the modern police. Share a link to this article with friends, it will be useful for them.

So, if you read this article, then you are obviously interested in the question of how to determine the title of chains. We will look at this question later, and now I suggest a little to deepen in history.

What do you think, for what the shoulders were invented initially? Surely you answer that for the same, for which they are used and now - the difference of military ranks. But actually it is not.

Historical reference

In the Russian Empire Shores appeared at the end of the 15th century and served solely on applied purposes: held the strap of the cartridge bag or the tightness from climbing and protected the uniform from wiping a rifle. Therefore, they were worn only by soldiers and, often, only on the left shoulder. Sailors of any titles did not have a pursuit at all, since they did not have rifles and cartridge bags.

In about 1762, the epaulets began to be used to distinguish employees of different battalions. At the same time, an attempt was made to start using them and for distinguishing ranks, however, since there was no single standard, this undertaking failed.

Gave chasing the difference function Alexander I in the early 19th century. They were introduced for all military personnel (including for officers who had been overwhelmed by eaps that defended their shoulders from the blows of a chopping weapon) only in 1855.

Since then, their appearance, color and even the form have changed many times changed, and after the October revolution, they were completely canceled in the Red Army. However, in many shelves of the White Army, the shoulders continued to wear, and, thanks to the Soviet propaganda, until the forties of the 20th century, the shoulders were considered a symbol of counter-revolution and did not use honor.

Despite such a prejudice attitude, at the very beginning of 1943 a decree was signed on the assignment of the pursuit to all employees of the Red Army, and less than in a month, on February 15, it affected the employees of the Navy.

Since by this time, the epaulets of practical value did not have and firmly associated with the soldiers of the Soviet army with the White Guards, the reaction to this innovation was ambiguous. Both Soviet newspapers and fascist, frankly ridiculed this idea. But Soviet is inapprage, without understanding why to return to the old polls, and the fascist - maliciously, to find such a move of Stalin for the manifestation of weakness and fear of the opponent.

In fact, this idea was ripe already in 1935. By 1941, samples and shapes were prepared, and new pursuit. Despite the wartime and negative reaction, innovations, nevertheless, were not rejected or postponed and even could inspire the army.

Our days and differences

As you can see, since the appearance of the shoulder and to this day, a lot has changed: from their function to appearance.

Nowadays, 20 titles are used, they are divided into military and ship. The titles correspond to each other in the hierarchy in the system and have the same symbols on the shoulder. For ranks below, the evignors are provided by the signs of the differences on which there are only skiing (this is corners) on a homogeneous background, the ranks above the stars above.

Stars are of different sizes:

• huge - 40 mm;
• large - 22 mm;
• large - 20 mm;
• small - 13 mm.

Besides, there are so-called lumens - These are lines going through the entire pursuit, but not across, like skulls, but in length. One clearance is depicted from younger officers, two - among the elders. The generals, ensigns and the lower ranks do not have them.

The titles are assigned to servicemen for long service or for personal merits.

How the epaulets look

• If you see erases of homogeneous color, on which there is nothing at all, then you are sailor or ordinary.
• And if there is a skip - this is already a corporal, which corresponds to the ship's "Senior Most".
• Two skies show the younger sergeant or the elder of the 2nd article.
• If on the shape of a stray with three lips, then their owner is a sergeant or a foreman of the 1st article.
• One wide whirl showing senior sergeant or chief senior.
• One wide skip and one ordinary - on the distinctive signs of the elderly or the main ship's chief.
• Two stars on the pursuit of the military show that he is ensign or Michman.
• Three little stars show the older ensign or the older Michman.
• One little star with one lumen is depicted on distinguishing signs of younger lieutenants.
• Two little stars and one clearance on distinctive signs at lieutenants.
• Three little stars and one clearance are depicted from senior sergeants.
• Four small stars and one lumen define a captain or captain-lieutenant.
• Two gaps and one large star, located between them mean that you see Major or Captain of the 3rd Rank.
• Two large stars and two lumen - already a whole lieutenant colonel or captain of the 2nd rank.
• Three large stars and two lumen - the signs of the colonel or captain of the 1st rank.
• One big star with zigzag background, not flat, is a major general or counter-admiral who belong to the Higher Command.
• Two stars on the background of Zigzag - Lieutenant-General or Vice Admiral.
• Three stars on the background of Zigzag - Colonel-General or Admiral.
• Four stars on the same background - General Army or Admiral Fleet, the highest rank at the moment.
• And finally, one huge star next to the emblem of the Russian Federation on the painted yellow pursuit belongs to Marshal.

As you can see, in the shipproofs one step less, so the highest rank is considered marshal of the Russian Federation. However, at the moment, nobody occupies the title of Marshal, the last marshal was the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Igor Sergeev, who died in 2006.

It is also worth noting that the title of the foreman and the senior ship's elderly since 2012 does not exist, although to this day they may be present in the documents.

Perhaps after reading someone still wonders: And what should the epaulets be at the general graduation? So, the same as Marshal. The form and distinctive signs specifically for this highest title were developed, but were not approved before the death of Stalin, and after these developments were not needed.

In addition, many of you probably know that there are two types of shape in the ground forces: Casual and field, but they remain the same distant signs. The only difference is that the letters "Sun" are indicated on everyday, that is, "armed forces", and on the field form they are missing. However, it does not prevent us from identifying the title of military, right?

Video

From our video you will learn a lot of interesting things about military ranks and signs of differences that they match.

If you are interested in how to recognize what the title of officers, ensigns and midshipmen have, if they have three stars on the chains, we advise you to read this article.

Intersporers on the daily shape of clothing have stars in 13 mm, each, located near the vertically, on the strips of protective color with two bordering red stripes. On the field shape of clothing, these stars are white and no bordering stripes. Michmans on the stars of the stars in 13 mm, each, located nearby vertically on sulfur handers with two white borders.

Senior lieutenants have protection colors with a red longitudinal strip. Two stars in 13 mm are located near the sides of the strip, and the third is above them, on the strip. Colonels have straps protective color, with two red longitudinal paints. Two stars of 20 mm on them are located on stripes, and the third above them, between stripes. Colonel-General have protection colors, with three bordering red stripes, with stars in 22 mm, located vertically, in a row.

Differences in field form are that the shoulder straps do not have borders. The senior lieutenants and colonels are white stars, and the Colonel-General has green.

The officers of naval forces wear the following epaulets. Senior lieutenants are gray-black, with a longitudinal yellow strip. Two stars at 13 mm are located near the sides of the strip, and the third is on them on the strip. The captains of the 1st grade shoulder epaulets of gray-black color, with two longitudinal yellow stripes. Two stars of 20 mm on them are located on stripes, and the third above them, between stripes. The admirals shoulder epaulets of gray-black color, with two bordering yellow stripes, with stars in 22 mm, located vertically in a row, with an anchor in the center of each.

Shoulders - an integral attribute of any military or employee of power departments in most countries of the world. How long have they appeared in Russia? How to distinguish them depending on the specific military rank? Are the epaulets of the military sample differ from those who wear law enforcement officials? Are there state standards governing the appearance of the signs of differences in the army and in the law enforcement bodies? In this article we will try to answer all these issues, we will examine how the mentioned attributes of the shape of the younger and senior command formulation look like, including Major's shoulder. Photos will also be presented.

History of army signs differences

A number of historians converge in the opinion that before the army appeared in Russia, functioning on a regular basis, the external difference in military ranks had quite some criteria. Senior and younger ranks were distinguished perhaps that the clothing and type of weapons. Some modernization occurred in the time of Peter the first. Officers began to wear bores (breastplate in the form of a scarf, on which elements of state heraldry were present). At the beginning of the XIX century, uniforms were introduced in the Russian army, on the design approximate to modern ("frant"). Headwear appeared, emphasizing the difference in military ranks. Gradually, the eaps were included. They coincided with the officers on the color with the form, and the generals had golden shades. Some samples of epoles made it possible to distinguish, say, overs and headquarters. True, this sign did not talk anything about military ranks.

In the 20s of the XIX century, asterisk appeared on the military uniform of Russian soldiers. One meant that the military had the rank of ensign, two-major, three - lieutenant colonel, four - headquarters. Colonels, however, worn epolets on which there were no stars in general. In the 1840s, the Officers acquired signs of differences in the form of transverse stripes, something similar to skies in the Soviet Army in sergeants.

Shores and stars in a more or less modern form appeared in Russia in the middle of the XIX century. Their appearance, some historians are associated with the introduction of a new sample of clothing - hiking overcoats. Shoulder straps on which Galuns and asterisks were laid (it is noteworthy that all officers, including higher ranks, their size was the same), fastened on the shoulders of the uniform.

After the 1917 revolution, the stars and shoulder straps, as one of the symbols of the royal regime, were abolished. But over time, the Military Guide of the USSR began to return to historical signs of differences. First, the stripes appeared on the sleeves, and in 1943 - epaulets. Photo and video materials of those years allow you to study their features in detail.

Shoulders in the USSR Army

In January 1943, the decree of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR was adopted about the introduction of the pursuit for the Red Army. From that moment on, this sign of differences certainly attended the clothes of Soviet soldiers, and then Russian. Many historians agree that the appearance of the shoulders in the USSR could be considered a sensation: in a relatively recent - relative to the moment - a historical retrospective, this element of military clothing was openly despised by the Bolsheviks, as it was firmly associated with a tsarism. Two types of pursuit appeared in the Red Army (as well as in Imperial, by the way): For wearing in the field and everyday. The first differed camouflage colors ("khaki"), were trimmed with color Cant.

On straps intended for everyday wearing, the emblem corresponding to the brass buttons is located. Signs of the difference in ordinary composition sometimes contained the number of the military unit. One of the fundamental differences, according to a number of military historians, between the royal and Soviet purses - in the size of the sprockets. In the USSR they were larger.

Some historians celebrate the following fact: since the introduction of the pursuit of the USSR, the forgotten word "officer" was gradually returned to the speech of the military, which was actively used in royal mode. With Soviet power, this category of the military was called the command and supervisory composition. Sometimes the expression "Commander of the Red Army" was used.

Legally, the term "officer" was not enshrined in the Soviet Union. At first it was used unofficially, in oral conversations. But over time, he entered the army paperwork at quite official principles. True, as historians noted, in some orders another 1942, the word "officer" was still present.

Stars on the pursuit

In the army of the Russian Empire, in the Soviet troops (after 1943) and the modern armed forces of the Russian Federation, stars protrude as one of the main elements on the shoulders. At different periods of time, their shape and color could differ. There were pure gold stars on epaulets, silver, metal. At the time of approval in 1943, they were flat, and only over the years acquired a bulk form - steel ribbed, with elements of rifrance. The diameter of large elements is 20 mm, small - 13 mm. First, the Soviet army was supplied with brass stars, later aluminum. Before the beginning of the 80s, they had a silver color, then golden (except for the stars for the field patterns - they were dark green and prohibited from steel).

These features of army stars, formed in Soviet years, remain relevant for modern Russian troops. Changes, if any, then small. Sometimes in the army of the Russian Federation there are stars of protective color or ordinary green. More details made of metal, now in most cases smoothed faces. Among other remarkable innovations are "Falsepogons", on which various elements, including stars, are drawn by paint. Their use is almost always limited to the field shape. According to some military specialists, "Falsepogona" fell on the soldiers of the temper because of the convenience - ordinary metal stars could cling to the backpacks, vests, glitter in the sun and give out a soldier to the enemy.

Main formats of military shoulders in the Russian Federation

The appearance of the vapor of modern Russian officers was first approved by decree of the President of the country in 1994 and a similar legal act in 2010 (and subsequent editions). The symbolism characteristic of the Soviet Time (Sickle and Hammer was replaced by the Russian. According to the standards adopted at the highest state level, the shoulder should have a rectangular shape (the upper edge - in the form of a trapezium), possess the color - golden or coinciding with the tones of the uniform. On the pursuit Differential departments are a CANT CANT. Also on these attributes of the form there is a button.

A distinctive feature of the epaulets of the Russian Marshal - on their longitudinal line of the axis there is a star, and Kant - red.

Stars on the signs of distinction of the soldiers of the modern army of the Russian Federation are also located in accordance with the standards. The epaulets of the army general distinguishes one star, the size of which is greater than that of the lower rank officers, the title of which contains the word "general". Cant color depends on the kind of troops. Similar format have vapor admirals fleet. They are one star, large in size than those that are located on the signs of distinction from vice and counter-admirals.

Shores approved in the Russian Federation have such an element as lumen. Their quantity depends on the rank of the serviceman. Shareeons Colonel of the Russian Army and Major contain two lumets. Captain, Lieutenant - one.

Private Store of the Army of the Russian Federation

The lower approved in the army of the Russian Federation is ordinary. Officially, it was enshrined in 1946, before that soldiers were called fighters or redarmeys. Sometimes other words are added when accessing the soldier. For example, ordinary justice (if it comes to a military-ridden stock). On the fleet an analogue of the rank of ordinary is a sailor. Soldiers who have achieved certain success in the mercy of military service can get the rank of corporal (on the fleet - senior sailor). In the absence of higher commanders, they can control ordinary platform (sailors). How to determine both military ranks on fires? Very simple: Private in terms of differences have an abbreviation of the Sun and there are no additional elements. Efreitor has a skip.

The next rank for an ordinary composition is a junior sergeant. As a rule, it is obtained by corporates for any merit or good discipline, sometimes - when dismissing from the army to the reserve. On the navigation of the junior sergeant corresponds to the rank of the chief of the second article. Soldier can reach Sergeant. This title can get a military school cadet. The rank above in the ground forces is a foreman. Interesting the fact that this title and exactly the same sound on the fleet is not the same. The foreman is considered to two steps above the sergeant. On ships - otherwise. There is a military man, corresponding to a land sergeant in rank. Above in the ground forces - senior sergeant. On the fleet, he is the main ship foreman. Further, the soldiers of the army of the Russian Federation can reach the ensign (on the fleet - Michman), and after - to gain the title of "senior".

On the chase of the younger sergeant there is an abbreviation of Sun and two skirts. Sergeant - three, the older is one broad skirt. The foreman carries epaulets with one wide and one narrow skid. The ensigns and Michmans wear two stars on their chains, in the rank of the elders - three. The location of the stars on the shoulder - in one row.

Junior officer composition

Under the younger officer, the combination of army ranks is understood, ranging from the younger lieutenant (which is considered higher by the rank than the ensign) to the captain (lower in rank than Major). Often military personnel present in battalion units, platforms and rotators are also referred to as junior officers. Graduates of universities of a military profile (or students of the last courses of these institutions) can get the title of younger Lieutenant. In some cases (for example, if officers are missing for the fulfillment of a certain group of tasks) this rank may be assigned to a graduate of a regular civilian university. However, the title of lieutenant can only receive the soldier who served in the army. Similar to the servicemen are assigned the rank of senior lieutenant. Junior officers include soldiers in the rank of captains.

Interesting is the fact that it is the location of the stars on the pursuit, and not their number distinguishes the younger officers from representatives of the ordinary composition of the army. Here are some examples. Ships lieutenant contain only two stars, while a soldier has a rank below - the older ensign - three. However, the officer of the sprocket is located next door and acumen. While the ensign - in line along. Senior Lieutenant - three stars, they are located in the form of a triangle, the distance of stars on the chastion is the same. Captain, in turn, four stars. Three of them are in the form of a triangle, and another same size of the captain's epaulets can be accommodated in the area that closer to the uniform collateral. The younger lieutenant carries strap with one star in the middle of the pursuit (a little closer to the edge relative to the middle).

Senior officers

A soldier who received the title of Major can classify himself to the senior officer. Interesting is the fact that words spoken by additionally when contacting the military of this rank in stock may coincide with those that are used when contacting the rank. The captain of the land forces on a fleet of Russia corresponds to the title with a similar sound, but the phrase of the "third rank" is added. Above Major - lieutenant colonel (on a fleet - the captain of the second rank), then - the colonel (on the Navy - the captain of the first rank).

If, when comparing the signs of differences for the younger officers and ordinary army composition, the layout of the stars was played on the army, then the size of these elements is determining the size of these elements for the older officers. Here are some examples. The younger lieutenant has on the pursuit of one star. Superior to his several steps in rank, Major also has one star. But they differ in size. Major's shoulder straps are decorated with a larger star. Similarly, the signs of the differences of lieutenant and lieutenant colonel are correlated. Both have two stars. But the senior officer is much more.

At exactly the same sign you can distinguish between the colonel of the Russian army and a similar sign of distinction from senior lieutenant. Both have three stars. The junior officer wears those far less than the size. The distance of the stars on the eligible. By the way, Captain's epaulets are unique in its kind. Only on them there are four stars. More or as much does not have one of the officers. As for the comparison of the enema of military personnel of various ranks on the fleet, there are exactly the same rules.

Supreme officers

At the top of the hierarchy of the titles in the army of the Russian Federation is the highest officer. The first stage is the Major General (a counter-admiral corresponds to him on the fleet). These are officers who are distribution officers whose number exceeds 150 thousand soldiers. Next follows a lieutenant-general (and this is despite the fact that in the lower officer compositions Major is the main thing of Lieutenant). Historically, the Lieutenant-General took on a higher level (for example, some of those who are managed by the Army General). In some cases, the representative of the highest officer of the Armed Forces of Russia may be appointed to the position of the General Staff or the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. As a rule, the servicemen of this category are the rank of Colonel-General. On the fleet they correspond to their ranks. The officer on the highest rank stage in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the army general, in the Navy - Admiral Fleet.

To properly distinguish the title of higher officers from younger and older, you need to take into account the many nuances: the location of the stars on the shoulder, their size and even color. There are options when it is difficult to be mistaken, for example, if the shoulder shoulder colonel. How many stars on the pursuit of him, we have noted above - three. The same as older lieutenant, but their size is less. Both soldiers are located a triangle - there is no one else. The most likelihood is mistaken when recognizing the strain of Major General. On them one star. Major's shoulder straps also contain a single asterisk. The same situation and attributes of the uniform of the younger lieutenant. It is possible to accurately recognize the highest officer in the absence of other elements on its shoulders (stripes). Another example is a lieutenant-general. Shores of the military in this rank contain two stars located along. Just as the ensign. But the highest star officer is more. Similar example - Colonel-General. The epaulets hold it three stars - as much as the older ensign. The difference is the same size.

Pursuit of the Russian Police

Ranking on the titles and the use of the differences in the differences is applied not only in the Army of the Russian Federation, but also in law enforcement structures, including the police. By virtue of some similarity of activities - military and law enforcement, the principles of the arrangement of stars and other elements on the pursuit of the police are generally similar to those characteristic of the army of the Russian Federation.

The rank composition of the police does not have any elements on the shoulder. Exception - signs of differences from cadets, on which there is a letter "K". Above ordinary in the police table of titles is the junior boss, submitted by sergeants, elders and ensigns. The key element in the signs of the difference characteristic of these titles - skirts and asterisks. Sergeants, regardless of the level, no stars. The younger - two thin skies, sergeants - three, the elders are one broad.

The foreman of the police owns rows with one wide longitudinal strip. The signs of the distinction of the ensign are characterized by the presence of stars: the usual two of them, the older - three. They are located in a row. The Middle Starting Composition is represented by the titles from the younger lieutenant of the police to the captain. Their epaulets are characterized by the presence of a "lumen" - a red strip, which comes in the middle. There are asterisks: the younger lieutenant is one, in ordinary - two, the older is three. Shooting Captain Police contain four stars. Further in rank - the senior boss. The epaulets of this category of police officers contain two "lumets". The titles differ in the number of stars. On the masts of Major - one. Lieutenant Colonel - two. Shared colonel contain three stars. The highest bunch of police composition is the generals. They carry straps without "lumen", with larger stars than among the middle officers. Major General is one star. Police officers have a higher rank more: Lieutenant-General wears epaulets with two stars, Colonel-General - with three.

Higher military rank in the Russian Federation

The highest military rank in our country is the Marshal of the Russian Federation. It was legally established in 1993 and replaced the title of Marshal Soviet Union. In the newest history of Russia, it was assigned only once. He was awarded the Minister of Defense of Russia Igor Sergeev in 1997. Marshal of the Russian Federation carries straps, on which one big star is located, as well as one of the symbols of Russia and the main elements of the country's state coat of arms.

Igor Sergeev was born in the Ukrainian SSR, in 1938. The service in the Armed Forces of the USSR has been from 1955. In 1960, he went to the service where the path from the head of the department was held to the post of commander-in-chief. In 1973 he graduated with honors from the Military Academy. Dzerzhinsky, in the 1980s - Military Academy of the USSR General Staff. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, she continued the service of service in the army of the Russian Federation. In the period from 1992 to 1997 he commanded the country's rocket troops. Improved the level of combat training of troops, provided technical equipment. He carried out control over the introduction of new rocket systems into the army. In May 1997, he was appointed Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. He entered the Security Council, in the Presidium of the Government of Russia. In November, Igor Sergeyev was awarded the title of Marshal of the Russian Federation. Until now, no one from Russia's military personnel was honored. In 2001, Igor Sergeev resigned and became an assistant to the president to address issues relating to strategic stability. He worked in the area of \u200b\u200bnegotiation processes on systems of pro, strategic armaments, issues of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. He served until March 2004. After a long sickness, it was left of life on November 10, 2006. In the Donetsk region (Ukraine) a memorial plaque dedicated to Igor Sergeyev was installed.

Military marks of the differences on the shoulders of military personnel and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are largely similar. The difference between them can be considered only the color of the shoulder. But in the sea fleet the symbolism is completely different. This is not surprising, because the title is there too others. Stars on the chains of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the amount of one to four, can be seen from everyone without the exception of the bosses (except ordinary). Thus, three stars on the chains are found:

1. Among the junior superior composition.
2. Among the average.
3. In the ranks of the senior composition.
4. At the ranks of the highest composition.

Shoulder symbolism in members of the Interior structure has one noticeable difference: over the edge always passes the edging of the red color, regardless of the title. When the policeman appears, the word "police" is always added to the rank, for example, the "senior police officer", the same applies to the police officer.

Distinctive signs on the junior erabe

The junior commanding composition, starting with the title of younger sergeant and ending with the elder, have shield signs with horizontal or vertical yellow stripes (likings). By remembering their location, it will not be difficult to distinguish and the ranks of their owners:

1. The junior police sergeant carries a couple of non-strokes of vertical (transverse) strips.
2. Police sergeant wears three vertical skirts.
3. The senior police sergeant carries one wide transverse skip.
4. The foreman of the police has one horizontal wide strip.

Among the members of this superior composition, stars have only:

1. Police ensign. His shield signs are two small sprockets located horizontally.
2. Senior police officer. On his shoulders are already three starsAlso located horizontally.

Symbols on rows of middle, senior and higher formulations

All superior compounds, except the younger skiing, are completely absent, but instead of them, the epaulets decorate thin stripes of red (lumens). They are horizontally, their quantity depends on the title. Exception is the highest bunch of composition. There are no such stripes on their shoulders, only the red edging is maintained around the perimeter of the shoulder sign, however, as on the shoulder signs of all other members of the structure.

So the average composition:

1. The junior police lieutenant carries one small star over the red lumen.
2. The police lieutenant has two small stars placed on the edge of the pursuit vertically, they are separated by the same red bar.
3. Senior police lieutenant. His signs of differences are one lane, three little stars placed triangle with edge.
4. The police captain can already have four small stars, one pair of them is vertically, and the other is horizontally, without intersecting.

Shooting senior composition is distinguished by the presence of already pair of parallel lumen.

1. Police Major has one middle star in the middle of the bands.
2. Police lieutenant colonel has two mid-stars placed on the stripes on the edge of the pursuit.
3. Police colonel has a triangle from three stars of medium size.

The highest composition does not have lumps and stripes, the stars on the shoe signs are large.

1. Major Police Major. His epaulets are decorated with one big star.
2. Lieutenant-General Police. On his shoulders, two stars placed horizontally.
3. Police Colonel-General has, respectively, three stars located horizontally.
4. The Russian Police General has four stars, also horizontally

Differences on the chains of the prosecutor's office

Employees of the prosecutor's office, as a rule, do not have the ranks, but possess the ranks. They are assigned by their position. Employers are distinguished by a bright blue tint (brighter than straps of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) and turquoise strips. Additional difference - shape of the pursuit.

Holders of three stars on the shoulder distinctive signs are:

1. Lawyer of the 2nd class. In the middle of the pursuit, one fine strip and triangle from small-sized stars.
2. Senior Advisor to Justice. His stars are located in the same way, but have a larger size. There are two lumen in the center.
3. State Counselor of Justice of the 1st Class. On the pursuit there are no strips, but there is a border around the perimeter. Stars are large horizontally.

What do you think about the staff of the Prosecutor's Office? We are waiting for your answers!
