History of the National Guard

In order to ensure state and public security, protect the rights and freedoms of man and citizen in Russia, a new body of federal executive power was created - the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops Russian Federation(hereinafter referred to as the Federal Service, the National Guard). The Decree of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin dated April 5, 2016 No. 157 “Questions Federal Service Troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation” (http://www.kremlin.ru/acts/bank/40689)

For military service, the Russian Cossacks are sent, as a rule, to formations and military units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which have been assigned traditional Cossack names, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation and border authorities.

Military personnel with a higher or secondary professional education and having related VUS, when appointed to a position for which the state provides for the military rank of ensign, this military rank may also be assigned.

In 2016, military commissariats had to refuse conscription to 40,000 Russians, writes KP.ru.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia announced this on April 1. And this was not a joke: in the army special forces today there is a competition - 20 people per place.

And this week everyone learned that the National Guard appeared in Russia. And the editorial office of Komsomolskaya Pravda was bombarded with calls: how to get into the National Guard? And how much will they pay? We asked the head of the press service to answer questions from readers Internal Troops Vasily Panchenkov. He represents exactly the unit on the basis of which the National Guard will be created.

1. How many guards will there be?

They also call us with such questions. Most often - already acting law enforcement officers from the regions. They are interested in whether they will enter the National Guard.

- And what do you answer?

The media are now giving different figures: they say, the National Guard will have 400, 350, 300 thousand employees. I think that we should wait for the adoption of the law on the National Guard, which is now under consideration in the State Duma. It is still difficult to say what structure of troops will be approved.

- What if they decide that it is enough, well, let's say, 200 thousand?

Then, clearly, no one will recruit more than the current number, and, perhaps, we should even expect cuts. Some may leave due to age or health reasons. We have to wait for a decision.

2. Preference is given to conscripts or contractors?

A few years ago, in the cordon, I noticed thin little soldiers of the Internal Troops - are they really going to be recruited into the National Guard too?

So what to do? In the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the number of contract soldiers for the positions of soldiers and sergeants was established - at least 80%. The rest are conscripts. This mixed system persisted until last days. 20% of the fighters came to our units from the draft board. They were considered by a separate commission and the brigade commander. After military service, the best of them were already selected for contract service. First, contractors are taken on a trial period, and then a contract is concluded with them.

3. Are the requirements for candidates high?

- What are your recruiting requirements?

The candidate must be a citizen of Russia, have a permanent place of residence, serve in the border troops or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, be physically and mentally healthy, preferably under the age of 31. Preference is given to young men from complete families who have not been brought to the police, have not used drugs (tests show this), and have positive characteristics from school and sports clubs. After the service, they return home, and some come to the commander and ask to stay on the contract. I think such requirements will continue for recruitment to the National Guard.

“Is it really possible to recruit a whole brigade like that?”

The Sofrino brigade of the Internal Troops is equipped in this way, 80% of its composition are contract soldiers.

- It is already clear that the requirements for the guardsmen will be high, but what can they count on?

Married people will receive service housing, children will be placed in kindergartens and schools. This is all clearly done.

The National Guard in Russia was created in 2016 by presidential decree. After this event, many experts in the media began to compare the new structure with a similar one in Ukraine, created two years earlier. Because of notoriety The latest news was received with mixed feelings.

But in the end, the situation returned to normal and the name "Rosguard" was assigned to the guard. It is used in given time on TV. The structure was created to protect the rule of law in the state and perform special tasks. If you are interested in how to get into the service of the Russian Guard, then below you will find the necessary information.

Tasks of the National Guard

The National Guard has one peculiarity - it is personally subordinate to the President of Russia. Its tasks are simple: conducting special anti-terrorist operations in all regions of the country, protecting borders and critical infrastructure facilities, working together with other military structures to protect the integrity and ensure law and order in the country. The high efficiency of accomplishing the assigned tasks is achieved through centralized coordination of actions. This means the removal of regional departments from the management function. Due to this, the speed of response to threats is increased, and in most cases the necessary secrecy is ensured.

Primary requirements

There are many applicants and they ask the same question: “How to get into the Russian Guard under a contract?” To enter the contract service, a citizen must be of age and have citizenship of the Russian Federation. Priority is given to persons who served in the border troops, the army and law enforcement agencies, who have a complete family (father and mother) and positive recommendations from various places of study. If a person has not previously served, then he must have an “A” fitness category. The maximum age allowed for entry into the service is 31 years. Such data as gender, nationality, race, material condition, origin and position in society, religion are not taken into account.

How to get into the Russian Guard for a girl?

Girls can enter the service in the same way as men - after passing the necessary examinations and tests.

Those wishing to join the ranks of the National Guard will have to pass a test of physical strength. It will consist of pull-ups on the horizontal bar at least 30 times, passing an obstacle course for a while and a test for shooting accuracy.

How to get into the National Guard by conscription?

On call, they pass in the same way as in a regular army. It all depends on the conscript. But there are differences between the guards and the army, of course. The quality of food in the latter is better, but the new structure has faster career growth, and wage for employees in it will be 10 times more than for conscripts. So to the question of how to get to the Russian Guard, you can answer that you should choose the desired type of troops, go through research and wait for an answer. Identity verification can take several months.

For more complete information regarding how to get into the National Guard and the army, it is advisable to contact the military registration and enlistment office in the city where you live.

Additional checks

Every person who wants to get into the Russian Guard must undergo psychophysical examinations, which are aimed at detecting signs of drug use in the past. A citizen must also undergo psychological testing. It is required in order to determine whether a person has the qualities necessary for service in this structure. An employee of the National Guard of the Russian Federation should not have qualities that are dangerous to society, as well as incidents in the past that have negative consequences.

Professional suitability for work is determined by the results of the psychological selection. To do this, psychological, psychophysical and medical research is carried out, including those in which narrowly focused technical and medical devices and products are used.

Professional suitability is determined by the level of development necessary for the performance of tasks and official obligations of an employee in the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation personal qualities, the presence of any risk factors in a citizen.

Risk Factors Affecting Professional Suitability

People who in the past depended on alcohol and various toxic and psychotropic drugs, drugs, were participants in the illegal circulation of all of the above substances, as well as weapons, will not be able to get into the Russian Guard. People who previously engaged in prohibited activities together with illegal public associations in the country, as well as those who are prone to abuse of power and suicide, will not be able to do this. Also, a person will not be able to get into the National Guard if he was previously convicted, deliberately filled out questionnaires with false data, hid or distorted information about his financial situation.

He shall be notified of this in writing from the date of the decision.

Benefits and remuneration for military personnel

For those who want to get into the Russian Guard, it will be interesting to know that the salaries of employees in the structure will be higher than those of ordinary military men, both for privates and officers. The average private and sergeant is from 19 to 90 thousand rubles. Officers have a slightly higher salary - from 45 to 120 thousand rubles. The amount may vary by region. They will pay extra for special conditions of service and various risks. Such a high salary is associated with dangerous work, because the fighters of this structure will fight against all types and manifestations of the terrorist threat.

The servicemen of the Russian Guard have a number of benefits, like other military personnel, but with some additions. Each employee in the structure will be provided with housing, and children will be taken to educational institutions out of turn and on preferential terms. Also, in the event of the loss of a breadwinner during service, the family of the deceased will be included in a special program of assistance to the families of the National Guardsmen.

Powers of the Guards

Compared to other paramilitary structures, the fighters of the National Guard have a number of exclusive powers. For example, the ability to use weapons without warning is allowed only in cases where delay would cost the life of a soldier or civilian. If there is no such threat, then the fighter must first warn about the use of firearms. Armored vehicles and water cannons are allowed to be used only in emergency cases, such as repelling an attack or when freeing hostages. During street protests that have turned into riots, fighters have the right to use force, using rubber batons, gas grenades, handcuffs and equipment to destroy barriers. Also, employees can check documents, detain citizens for a period of not more than three hours and draw up protocols of administrative violations. While conducting counter-terrorist operations, the Russian Guard can restrict traffic, use citizens' cars and detain people who violated the curfew.

In 2016, the President of Russia signed a decree on the creation of the National Guard. The official name itself was perceived by society ambiguously. There was a discussion in the media for quite a long time, since many experts drew parallels with similar structures created a little earlier in Ukraine, which managed to short term get a very controversial reputation.

In the end, the name “Rosgvardiya” was fixed in everyday life - it is this name that is now used in the media space everywhere. This structure is designed to perform special tasks to protect law and order in the country.

What are the advantages of serving in the National Guard, and what do those who want to get a job there under a contract need to know about it - this is the topic of this article.

What was the purpose of the National Guard

The purpose of the new structure is described in the previously mentioned presidential decree number 57, signed in April 2016. Currently, its formation has not yet been completed. The process should end at the end of this year. In general, the National Guard is created on the basis of the currently existing units involved in:

  • crimes related to the illegal circulation of weapons;
  • ensuring the security of various, both public and private facilities;
  • private security.

The guards will also include regional rapid reaction units and mobile units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. An aviation unit will also be attached to it.

As it is easy to see, parts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will become its backbone. The reorganization as a whole is designed to improve the interaction between disparate building blocks having the same goals, as well as to help increase their mobility.

A feature of the Russian Guard is that it reports directly to the President of the Russian Federation.

Tasks in progress

At present, the political balance in the world has been disturbed. Centers of power are changing, new hotbeds of tension are emerging almost every day. The sole dominance of the West is a thing of the past. In conditions of such increased turbulence in the external arena, which has led to profound changes in the format of communication between states and supranational structures, new solutions are required. There is a significant increase in the risk of many threats to Russia's security from various international groups, both terrorist and extremist.

In most cases, attacks on infrastructure facilities are carried out by small groups of fanatics. It is the confrontation with them that is the main task of the National Guard.

Her direct responsibilities include:

  • various anti-terrorist activities in any region of the country;
  • protection of significant infrastructure and life support facilities (including nuclear power plants);
  • interaction with other services to maintain order, protect the integrity of the country, protect borders.

The main factor that makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the newly created structure is a single centralized management. At the same time, departments at the regional level are removed from this function, which makes it possible to increase the speed of response to threats and in some cases ensure proper secrecy.

Requirements

Only the very best will be able to serve in the National Guard. The selection will be very thorough. First of all, it is planned to take young men who previously served:

  • in law enforcement agencies;
  • border guard;
  • army and other law enforcement agencies.

All of them must necessarily be citizens of Russia and have excellent health. Persons over the age of 31 will not be accepted into the service.

Do you live in Moscow, Crimea, Krasnodar or your hometown Murmansk, Sevastopol or Togliatti - in any case, you should visit the military commissariat at the place of residence if you want to get a contract service in the newly created units. Its staff will provide you with the necessary information.

We cannot specify exactly where the units of the Russian Guard are deployed, since this is expressly prohibited by 226 Federal Law.

All applicants before signing the contract must pass a test of physical strength and endurance. They will have to:

  • pull up on the bar at least 30 times;
  • pass the obstacle course for a while;
  • show yourself with well-aimed arrows.
