National Guard requirements. The conscript's father spoke about the monstrous conditions of his son's service in the Russian Guard

It will be possible to get into the system of the new law enforcement agency after a year of service and serious tests.

In 2016, the military commissariats had to refuse conscription to 40,000 Russians. 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 of the Internal Troops, Vasily Panchenkov, to answer questions from readers. 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 the 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 expect?

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

Ready for work, defense and "beating"

The National Guard will include various units of OMON and SOBR, the selection conditions for which are associated with established traditions. The units "Vympel", "Vityaz", "Peresvet", "Rus", "Bison", "Vyatich", and many other units, which were also part of the State Drug Control Service, could only be entered after a serious physical test. The candidate needs:

Pull up at least 25 times

Run the assault strip for a while

Shoot accurately, and then spar in hand-to-hand combat with the most trained fighters in the squad.

Such tests are called in the spetsnaz by tapping. It is very difficult, even almost impossible, to emerge victorious from them, but some manage to show character. He becomes the hallmark of the future fighter.

Rosgvardia is the popular name of the National Guard of the Russian Federation (VNG). The National Guard did not take root, obviously, because such a name exists in Ukraine. The word "Rosgvardia" came from the bottom and was officially fixed, this name is written on the uniform of the employees of the structure.

What is the National Guard

Officially, the decision to create the relevant structure was made by the President at the beginning of April 2016. Society reacted ambiguously to this fact. Especially when you consider that the ANG report directly to the President, and in 2018 the presidential elections were to be held. However, in reality, the divisions of the National Guard do not act as an appendage to the political force, but perform other functions.

The National Guard included already existing units that are subordinate to other power structures: internal affairs and the army. The purpose of the existence of the VNC is to ensure law and order and fight against terrorism, the problems are quite relevant. Russian Guard troops are distributed in the state in 8 districts.

The National Guard included:

1. OMON.
2. SOBR.
3. Rapid reaction forces and aviation.
4. Private security.
5. Departments of licensing and permitting work (checking weapons).

Thus, the divisions of the National Guard carry out a variety of activities: from patrolling the streets and guarding residential and non-residential facilities to conducting the most complex anti-terrorist operations.

VNG are endowed with exclusive powers to carry out their functions: from checking documents to using special equipment and weapons.

Benefits of serving in the National Guard

As of 2019, the structure of the Russian Guard not fully developed. There is a phased implementation of the organizational merger of structures and their equipment.

Troops are trained in special centers where they are taught the basics of legislation, tactical special operations, forceful detention, use of special equipment and devices.

The advantages of service in the National Guard are:

• Current material support. The salary of junior ranks is within 45 thousand rubles. monthly, senior officers receive many times more. In addition, additional payments are made for physical training (up to 9 thousand rubles), knowledge of foreign languages. Employees are paid bonuses, according to the allocated funding, they are given material assistance for recovery when they go on their next vacation. When performing tasks in other settlements, the National Guardsmen receive travel allowances and the necessary support.
• Pension provision. National Guardsmen have a retirement age: men - 50 years old, women - 45 years old. Service must be 20 years. The pension is increased, as in the internal affairs bodies. If there is a length of service, a person may retire from the National Guard earlier, without serving until the age limit.
• Housing. For the National Guard there is a military mortgage. This allows them to purchase good housing for their families at the beginning of their service, and then pay off a soft loan. If the employee lives in rented housing, then appropriate monetary compensation is provided. So, in Moscow, the monthly payment is up to 15 thousand rubles.
• Medical service. Employees of the VNG units are served in departmental hospitals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army. These medical institutions are well provided with medicines and have comfortable conditions for free treatment. The same opportunities are provided to family members of employees.
• prestige. If in the troubled 90s the attitude towards law enforcement agencies was extremely negative, then over time the prestige of service in law enforcement agencies is growing. Residents of the country have already felt the benefits of having the service of the National Guard, it has become calmer on the streets, safer.
• Opportunity to serve the country to realize their potential and abilities. The divisions of the National Guard are very different from one another: both patrolmen and pilots serve here. Young people after serving in the army have the opportunity to implement the acquired skills. To do this, they are provided with all the conditions and opportunities.
• Logistics while serving. The National Guard is provided with everything: weapons, equipment, fuel, special equipment. In addition, employees have the opportunity to train and develop skills at special training grounds and training grounds. The Russian Guardsmen are provided with protective equipment: body armor, helmets, a special uniform (Moss color with a three-dimensional pattern).

Disadvantages of serving in the National Guard

Service in the structures of the National Guard has negative aspects:

• Danger of service. Employees are constantly exposed to risks to life and health, despite all the security measures taken. The number of dead, wounded and injured is decreasing every year, but each case is a tragedy. Employees receive not only physical damage, but also psychological trauma. Constant stress during the performance of official duties negatively affects health, including mental health.
• Availability of business trips. The National Guard perform tasks where they are sent, and performing operations in other settlements is a common occurrence. At the same time, you have to leave your homes and families, postpone celebrations (for example, a wedding) and planned events (vacation). Doing duty comes first.
• Restriction of freedom of speech. VNG employees do not participate in political activities, they do not conduct negative discussions on the Internet and in the media. They are obliged to serve the Fatherland ideologically and support the lawfully acting government.
• High service requirements. National Guard employees must be in good physical shape. They regularly pass standards both in the ability to wield weapons and in physical training. For many divisions, sport is a way of life, training is mandatory and daily. The National Guard learn the legislation by heart and, if necessary, can quote it. So, security units, before entering the service, pass a test for knowledge of the necessary legislation.
• High requirements for mental stability. National Guardsmen are required to have a strong psyche, to be able to interact not only with colleagues, but also with citizens. In addition, they are prohibited from exceeding the required level of force.

Thus, service in the National Guard is an opportunity for young people to serve the Motherland.

Is military conscription possible in the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Rosgvardia)? Service in the Russian Guard (National Guard) on conscription - reviews, legal advice.

The Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (VV MVD of Russia) is a structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation that performed the tasks of ensuring public safety and the internal security of the state. In 2016, the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia were transformed into the troops of the Russian National Guard. What are the features of the conscription service in the units of the National Guard (National Guard) and what tasks they perform, we will consider below.

Military service by conscription is considered an honorable duty of a man, and the type of troops in which he will serve often matters only for the personal pride of a soldier. The state is equally important to the "elite" units - the Aerospace Forces, the Airborne Forces, the Navy, the marines, and the troops called upon to protect strategically important objects within the state borders. Therefore, each branch of the armed forces has a special purpose, which was developed on the basis of the experience of previous generations and military science. This experience was paid for with considerable blood.

The state has always needed armed force not only to maintain its sovereignty - protection from external enemies, but also to protect internal order. Russia is a very controversial state in social terms, the history of which is replete with riots, uprisings, separatist manifestations aimed at splitting internal unity. This trend can be traced throughout the history of the state.

For the first time, the prototype of the internal troops was created under Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible. He specially collected for three months personally devoted young nobles who served to protect Moscow from riots of the mob. In the future, these functions were transferred for a short period to the guardsmen. Peter I also left a mark on the history of the internal troops. It was under him that to maintain order in the cities and fight the rioters, armed detachments began to form from the disabled and recruits unsuitable for military service. But Alexander I can be considered the father of the explosives. It was by his Supreme Decree that on March 27, 1811, the scattered military teams of the disabled, subordinate to the provincial authorities, were reassigned to a single high command and acquired the status of military formations with absolutely specific goals - protecting the interests of the state from internal enemies.

The internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia were created in 1992 after the collapse of the USSR. The troops included all the former formations of the Internal Troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs stationed on the territory of the RSFSR. On April 5, 2016, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the creation of the National Guard (Rosguard) on the basis of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Tasks of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (Rosgvardia)

The troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation were transformed from the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and are intended to ensure public and state security, as well as protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. The legal basis for the activities of the Russian Guard is regulated by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of July 3, 2016 No. 226-FZ “On the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation”.

In the minds of many conscripts, for whom military service is terra incognita, the new name of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is mainly associated with special forces units fanned by participation in military conflicts in the North Caucasus and confronting terrorists in the elimination of the most famous gangs. Indeed, these special forces are included in the structure of the military formations of the Russian Guard, but its basis is still not elite groups, designed to solve highly specialized tasks and make up a small percentage of the strength of the national guard, but still armed military-type formations performing the tasks defined in Art. 2 of the Federal Law "On the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation".

The Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (Rosguard) are entrusted with the following tasks:
- participation in ensuring public safety and protecting public order;
- protection of important state facilities and special cargoes;
- participation in the fight against extremism and terrorism, etc.

For these purposes, the law provides for a mixed type of formation of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: conscription service - 20%, contract service - 80%. That is, young men serving on conscription in the National Guard are a minority. According to the reviews of conscripts, they are usually involved in the service at the facilities of strategically important industrial enterprises, nuclear energy and patrol service in settlements. Military service by conscription, the term of which is 1 year, as well as in the troops of the Ministry of Defense, provides for the possibility of concluding a contract.

A significant increase in the authority of the Russian Guard is the fact that from now on its tasks are not related to the protection and escort of persons under investigation and prisoners in places of deprivation of liberty (until 1996, the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia guarded correctional institutions).
