“If that is his 2011 uniform..”
While being humorous, you posted a great observation.
That uniform appears to be a light brown/tan colorway that has been in use with the Коллективные силы оперативного реагирования (KSOR, or Collective Rapid Reaction Force) since around 2013. It is interesting to note that uniforms have appeared with the pattern although these seem to have been used strictly for parade formations and not for combat deployments. Some special operations personnel not attached to the KSOR have also been documented wearing uniforms in a similar pattern.
So this guy is definitely a border guard with a new uniform made for him that post dated his military commitment time frame. The Russians are about as transparent as the Biden administration. Only they don’t have Trump to blame when they get caught.

Good catch thanks for your observation
What stops a retired border guard from getting a new uniform after retirement? It sells freely in surplus shop or can be tailored to size.
