Maroon Red Russian Telnyashka – MVD Internal Troops Striped Military Shirt (OTK / GOST)”
Origin: Made in Russia.
Material: 100% Cotton.
Colour: Maroon Red.
Origin: 2015-2023
GOST: 31408-2009
Red telnyashkas are most often associated with internal troops and security units, particularly in the late Soviet and post-Soviet period. Red has long carried symbolic weight in Russian military culture, tied to state authority, sacrifice, and internal order.
Manufactured as regulated underwear under GOST 31408-2009, these shirts follow the same practical construction: cotton knit, flexible, breathable, and durable, with OTK marking quality approval.
Delivered will be an orginal Russian Telnyashka with cotton knit vertical stripes, not painted or from lesser synthetic materials as the more common ones flooding market.
Brand new unissued in orginal packaging & labels.
Within the MVD Internal Forces, the red-striped telnyashka was not simply issued as clothing, but earned through service, training, and acceptance into the unit. Recruits first proved themselves during basic training, discipline drills, and unit integration before being allowed to wear the striped undershirt associated with internal security troops.
The telnyashka symbolized responsibility and loyalty to internal order, marking a transition from civilian recruit to serviceman entrusted with guarding strategic sites, maintaining order, and supporting state security. Wearing it meant belonging — not to a frontline branch, but to forces operating within the country itself.
Though practical in design, the red-striped telnyashka carried strong symbolism: authority, duty, and restraint. For those who wore it, the stripes represented not rank, but commitment a sign that the bearer had earned his place among the Internal Forces.
On Praporchik whoever they are available without the required military service and available directly in all currencies.
