Osprey's relatively new release, Soviet Naval Infantry 1917-1991 is a follow-up, of sorts, to 2020's Soviet Airborne Forces 1930-1991. Both books have some pretty germane info on organization, employment, and, especially, uniforms and weaponry. The illustrations aren't bad, although I greatly miss Ron Volstad (the best illustrator of Cold War-era uniforms, IMHO). 1985's Soviet Bloc Elite Forces cover both formations in a lot less detail, but is still worth it for the other Pact nations' "elite" units it covers (and it's illustrated by Volstad to boot- not his best work, but still better than pretty much every other Osprey illustrator past and present).
