This embroidered patch represents the Separate Detachment named after Maksym Kryvonis (Отдельный отряд им. Максима Кривоноса) — a modern volunteer formation reportedly composed of ex-Ukrainian servicemen now operating under pro-Russian command structures since 2023. The design combines historical and symbolic elements: a silver cross doubling as a sword piercing through a gold crescent, encapsulated within a red-bordered white shield. The Cyrillic inscription honors 17th-century Cossack commander Maksym Kryvonis, whose name was chosen to evoke the legacy of Cossack martial heritage and faith-based resilience.
This insignia has become recognizable among collectors of contemporary military and conflict-zone memorabilia due to its bold heraldic styling and association with ongoing operations in eastern Ukraine.

Historical Context
While the emblem borrows the imagery of traditional Cossack warfare — a cross triumphing over the crescent — its modern adoption ties it to the Separate Detachment named after Maksym Kryvonis, a 2023-era paramilitary formation reportedly engaged alongside Russian or proxy forces in the Donetsk region. The group’s name and iconography draw directly from the real historical figure Maksym Kryvonis, a famed Ukrainian Cossack colonel from the Khmelnytsky Uprising of 1648–1657.
This blend of ancient symbolism and modern adaptation reflects how historical references continue to shape military identity and iconography in today’s conflicts.
