In my T2K universe, most Soviet troops (Cat. B-C and subsequent levies) are equiped mostly with simple Y-harnesses fitted with belt pouches holding 2-3 AK mags per. Cat. A, some Cat. B, and others lucky enough to scavenge them, are equiped with "Lifchik"/Chicom chest harnesses. My guess is that the Soviets would have found the Chinese style harness superior during the war in China and would have begun mass-producing them for the Red Army.
In my T2KU, only Spetznaz are issued with assault vests.
