Greetings... privyet vsemoo...

Western media refer to Russian armed security / paramilitary units operating in Chechnya with the acronym "OMON."

Apparently, the first two letter refer to "militia units/detachments" or "militia organizations."

Many thanks in advance if someone could kindly tell me what all of the OMON letters stand for and e-mail that information me at < [email protected] >.

My other PC supports Cyrillic script, and the Russian words in PDF format would be most helpful.

Hi Stephen Jul 12, 2005

ОМОН is an abbreviation for отряд милиции особого назначения; something like Special Police Units or Special Police Forces.
Probably somebody will suggest a better translation.

P.S. Militia, of course
P.P.S. Sorry, cannot email you a PDF at the moment because I have uninstalled everything (including Acrobat) in my computer while doing some "summer cleaning". But you may change the encoding in your browser for Win1251... See more

ОМОН - отряд милиции специального назначения (спецназ). Части российской милиции, созданные для выполнения особо сложных задач (борьба с организованной преступностью, предотвращение массовых беспорядков, задержание вооруженных преступников и т.п.).
http://www.prison.org/nravy/dictionary/o.htm

Полномочия ОМОНа гораздо шире, чем подавление беспорядков на улицах. Но в какой то мере, riot police отражает этот термин, т.к. ОМОН также как и riot police имеет специальное оснащение - щит, каска, дубинка. ▲ Collapse
