Viktor Zolotov appointed director of the Federal Service of the National Guard troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation
The National Guard, according to the press service of the President of the Russian Federation, will take over the functions of the riot police, SOBR and other security forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In other words, these security agencies will become part of a new formation within the Ministry of Internal Affairs - the National Guard.
The commander-in-chief of the internal troops of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Viktor Zolotov, who now (since his appointment to the new post) has already ceased to be commander-in-chief of the Interior Troops of the Russian Federation, will lead the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
Vladimir Putin:
Of presidential decree:
Creating an effective law enforcement agency is a big plus, but is it not possible that in connection with certain events and armed formations in Ukraine, the term “National Guard” itself will be perceived in Russia with a certain caution?
