              Reenactor of Russian military & MVD from the early 1990s through the 2nd Chechen War. Strictly non-political — for historical interest only.

           It's finally complete. Impression of Vityaz MVD in 1993, an all-time favorite of mine. This impression is based on several highly publicized photos of Vityaz while they occupied the Ostankino television center during the events of October 3, 1993.

             To add further to this, I have interests outside of post-Soviet Russia. West Germany in particular is one of my favorites and I plan to do reenactment soon of GSG-9. I just happen to find 1990s Russian MVD the most interesting, historically speaking.

             Whenever a post of mine gets a lot of attention, people ignore in my profile that my reenactment is purely non-political. I don't reenact because I support a particular government. It's not a wholesale endorsement of a particular "side". It's just a hobby. Simple as that.

             Photo of my impression of Alpha Group during Russia's 1993 Constitutional Crisis. I tried to capture an authentic look of photos taken by photojournalists and press from this period.

             Russian MVD came up with the coolest camouflage patterns during the early 1990s. It’s not even up for debate, those are the facts.

             Impression of a unit member during the 1993 Russian Constitutional Crisis, based on a single photo reference from a photojournalist. Not much is known about which specific unit this individual belonged to, though it’s likely he was part of the VV MVD or perhaps KGB/Alpha Group.

             Some bonus photos from my spetsnaz group "Typhoon" impression. A few of the reference photos contain BTR crew members with typical tanker helmets, which is interesting to see paired with a typical MVD loadout.
