Historical Context
This emblem originates from the coat of arms of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, adopted in the early 1990s. The wolf is a longstanding national symbol associated with resilience and independence. During the First Chechen War and early Second Chechen War, this shoulder patch was worn by elements of the Ichkerian National Guard, cadet corps, and other military and security formations. The photograph of National Guard cadets marching with this patch on their right shoulder is one of the most widely circulated images documenting its use.
