Help identifying a patch.

I got this as part of a deal on some bits I bought from Russia.

The problem is, I don't know where to look to identify it!

Something to do with Russian Airborne Service I'd imagine (their patch below!)

Thanks guys. A little help and google and it's amazing what you can find out.

From what I found on militaryphotos, it's the old Soviet era VDV badge.

Mods, please close as I'll be putting up for sale now I know what I'm selling!
