Veterans Day of the Interior and Interior Troops
17 April is the Day of veterans of internal affairs bodies and internal troops in Russia. It is worth noting that this is one of the youngest Russian holidays, in 2014, it will be celebrated only for the fourth time. For the first time in our country, the holiday was celebrated in 2011 year. 17 of April was declared the Day of veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops by decree of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Rashid Nurgaliyev (currently Vladimir Kolokoltsev is in the post). The date of the holiday was not chosen by chance, it was timed to the 20 anniversary of the creation of the first in our country public organization of veterans of the Department of Internal Affairs and the Air Force, the 17 of April 1991 of the year.

Special gratitude on this day is expressed to those veterans who have gone through the very difficult trials of the Great Patriotic War, as well as those who, during the difficult years of post-war devastation, were at the forefront of the fight against crime, showing no less courage, will, initiative and determination than on the battlefields of war. The people who went through the war, received military hardening, in many respects determined those main moral principles and reference points, which to this day lie at the heart of law enforcement in our country.

- veteran pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- the organization of veterans of individual regions, districts and services;
- veterans of the Great Patriotic War;

Veterans take an active part in promoting the observance of law and order among the general population, are engaged in preventive work among the younger generation, and are acting mentors for many young employees of internal affairs. According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, thanks to the veterans and their rich experience, every year a large number of crimes are revealed in our country. 17 April veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops receive congratulations from the command, their colleagues, relatives and friends.
