When you wants to get a Spetsnaz impression, you really have a lot of options to choose from (IMO, more than any other nation's military).
Since I am getting a sense that your main impression outside of this event is non-Russian, I would recommend getting some cheap.
For the wear, Bekas BDU (in Tiger, Shadow and Les) and Flora BDU are accurate for the look. Bekas, espeically in Shadow, are leaning towards the police-type Spetsnaz (OMON & OMSN, etc.) while Flora is pretty much exclusively for the army-type (MVD VV) in terms of Spetsnaz. Keep in mind that other Spetsnaz would still use Bekas and Flora is a basic BDU in the Russian military. Another note is that the Shadow is more for urban warefare and night time, but sometimes Spetsnaz will wear that in the forest and during day time.
Getting rainsuits are another options. Rainsuits made by Splav can basically act as a subtitute for a BDU. The price of one suit is cheaper than a BDU. It has the pocketing like a BDU. The pants have pockets that can hold magazines. You can skip a assault vest with that. The top part have couple of pockets(two chests, two on the side of the stomach, IIRC). I would recommend wearing something underneath it, such as a T-shirt or something else, depending on the weather. The same goes for the pants. Rainsuits in Les or NATO (cannot remember which, could be both) are for sure weared by the top-grade type Spetsnaz (GRU, OSN). A US Woodland rainsuit would do it as it has a similar looking to the pattern. The Smog pattern is like that too except you cannot get it. Shadow, Gorod and Tiger are popluar amongst, but not limited to, the OMON and OMSN.
As for the shoes, any army boots should do it. Sneakers and running shoes can do it two. But they should be Addidas. The all black with white strips ones are popular.
The headwear should be a mask (Maska in Black or in Les or Tiger) or a bandana in OD Green would do it.
I think this is enough writing the night. I might continue with the assault vest in another time.

i prefer the Gorod-1 or Shadow pattern Bekas with the v-95 vest in forest kamysh, it looks pure spetsnaz, because they usually have non-issue gear or mismatched gear.

That is true for OMON and OMSN but for the GRU or the OSN. They don't mismatch that much. They don't usually do a winter-type (shadow, Gorod-1, etc.) with summer-type (Les, Tiger, Reed, etc.). They do it the summer-with-summer type.
