    The coat of arms is that of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. I have no idea if they would ever have been worn. The separatist republic did have a relatively organized military after independence until the 1994-96 war, so presumably some insignia was worn. I have no idea if the current Russian-installed government in Grozny uses the same coat of arms. The various rebel groups still fighting range from the nationalist to the Islamist to the crimnal syndicate - I don't think they have standardized uniforms or insignia.

          Yes . The one on the right is a Enlisted and the other one on the left is an Junior Officer's Badge. This style of the beret badges were first issued out in 1997.
