In the rebel very popular the old Soviet mountain windproof suit "Gorka", created in the period of the war in Afghanistan. This suit is now abolished in the army, but there is in the free market. This suit popular in Russian fishermen, hunters and those who have to stay a long time in the forest or in the mountains. He also likes acting military personnel, which often buying at their own expense.

Yes, it is correct. But most of all used uniform period of the Chechen war, which is now possible very cheap to buy in army warehouses. Also, many use commercial hunting suits. It is also quite often occurs uniforms NATO countries, which is freely sold in military stores and on the Internet.
After the transition to the formation of a regular army, began to give out centrally old Russian uniforms (the period of the Chechen war).

I have those Russians and I have to say, they are superb. Haven't painted them up yet but even in bare metal they look fab.
