November 13 - Day of the Service for the Protection of State Secrets of the Armed Forces of Russia

Although the Day of the Service for the Protection of State Secrets of the Russian Federation is directly related to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, until recently it was not included in the list of professional holidays. But in 2017, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation decided to change this situation. They decided to celebrate the new holiday on November 13th.

The choice of the date is explained by the fact that in 1918, on that day, an order was issued by the Revolutionary Military Council of the young Soviet state on the creation of a special unit at the General Staff, whose tasks were to work with classified documentation and encryption. The Russian authorities supported the idea of ​​creating a holiday.

Then this structure was called simply the encryption department. Decades later, it turned into a powerful and ramified organization, which today is called the Eighth Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Previously, only ransomware dealt with issues of protecting state secrets. With the development of technology, encryption services have improved and by now have turned into a complex system for protecting state secrets of the RF Armed Forces.

In modern conditions, highly professional employees are on duty, protecting the secrets of the country from ill-wishers. They perform a task that is extremely necessary for our state. The importance of this structure has especially grown in today's difficult time, when the international situation is becoming more and more tense. But we know that state secrets are reliably protected by specialists from the Eighth Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

The editorial board of Voenniy Obozreniye expresses its respect and gratitude to these people. We congratulate you on your professional holiday and wish you success in such a responsible and necessary service for the country.

So that's who shoots the clumsy cartoons. And thanks to whom all this time they learned about the new technology. The appearance of TTX. from the foreign press. An ingenious concept of secrecy. Their own citizens will definitely not know anything. I wonder what their motto is? "We have such a thing! Whoa, but we won't show it to you until it is published in the West." Okay joke. Joke. Secrecy must be unconditional. Well, for healthy and necessary privacy. Where it is really needed

[Skarpzd]

Our motto is simple: don't stick your nose where it's not supposed to! the rest will be brought to you in the part concerning you))

Clumsy cartoons are the Department of Information and Mass Communications - a completely different organism;)

Maybe I have a slightly perverse perception, but in the photo I first took the opened box (?) For a box with a cash reward.

As a former "ZASovets", with a special feeling of lumpy satisfaction, I congratulate the comrades from ... shhhh!

The picture is from the wrong opera. Where is the faceted glass?

That's for sure. Because in the 80s, sometimes there was such delirium that the hair stood on end and the ears curled into a tube ...

I remember burning the scraps from the cards received for the exercises. Then it was funny. Then you understand - it is necessary, then it is necessary.
