What the heck is the strange leg pocket with the cover on it for? The word costume in russian in the label makes me think this might be commercial. The mesh in the crotch and armpits seems weird also. Anybody know for sure if it's commercial? Maybe costume just means uniform. After all I can read cyrillic letters but I don't understand the language well. Even if it is commercial, does anybody know what type of patches and stuff that goes on one of these? Maybe some pictures?

What Philip said , they use whatever is available, be it issue or private purchase , some whole units do group buy of commercial items if they need it .

I have this exact set!
Everyone else beat me to it...it's commercial production, but it is very common to see Russian units using private-purchase commercial items.
As for the weird snap-pocket, the original design was to house a survival knife. (Or as rumour has it, when worn by Spetsnaz, to hold that ultra-cool ballistic knife)
The mesh in the crotch and armpits is there to help provide ventilation and promote increased air flow through those areas when the wearer gets heated up.

Your suit is a modern copy of the special suit of the troop exploring USSR sample 1972. This special suit carried the sleng-name "mabuta". One of the particularities of this suit was a special pocket for knife which cuts the ropes of the parachute. The Nets on sleeve and trousers served for ventilation - they were carried in suit "mabuta" in 1981. With disinteration USSR issue of the suit "mabuta" stopped.
You may search for in Internete material about this suit.
Your suit is a copy but is powerfully changed. The Material became worse. The Buttons others. Fabrics is made camo colour schemes which You name KLMK or digital or berezka or Soviet Union Bicolor or Soviet Union Stair Step 1 (Computer) You also can look at this camouflage in Internete. He never was used on suit "mabuta". The Belt trousers also differs.
This suit commercial. I do not think that he has a broad using in armies. Sooner its buy the huntsmans and fishermans. Its does company "REKS-DIZAYN" On suit is written "suit-year" name "specnaz-7" size 58, growing 5, pat 100%. The Company is located in Moscow.
