Day of veterans of internal affairs bodies and internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Day of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops New time - new tasks

Veterans of internal affairs bodies and internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia have been celebrating their holiday since 2011, since Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev signed the relevant order. The date of the holiday was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Public Organization of Veterans of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops: this event took place in 1991.

Today, about 650 thousand veterans live in Russia, who served in different years in the internal troops and internal affairs bodies. Veteran organizations include pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, participants in the Great Patriotic War, veterans of military operations in Afghanistan and the North Caucasus, liquidators of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and others.

Veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops continue to benefit society today. They are engaged in promoting the observance of law and order, carry out preventive work among minors, work with young police officers, passing on their knowledge to them. The veterans' organization assigns its due place to historical and patriotic work. According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, thanks to veterans and their invaluable experience, a large number of crimes are revealed every year.

Today, April 17, veterans of the internal troops and internal affairs bodies accept congratulations from the command, colleagues, friends and relatives. In addition, festive events are often held in veteran organizations on this day.

There are no ex-cops
So any veteran will tell us,
We congratulate you on the holiday today
And we wish you good health.

Despite the years and gray hair
You will stretch out your hand in trouble,
Never leave your post
Our veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

We wish you strength and vigor for years,
Boredom and fatigue do not know
And of course my rich experience
Pass on to new generations.

In our country, the authorities have always paid great attention to veterans. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War make up a special category: they still enjoy a fairly significant package of benefits. This is quite natural, because people, fighting under the Soviet flags with the Nazis, actually granted us - at that time future generations - freedom from possible German bondage. But there is another group of veterans to whom the vast majority of the representatives of today's Russian society owe no less - veterans of the internal affairs and internal troops. It can be said that these wonderful people celebrate their professional holiday, the Day of Veterans of the Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops, on April 17 every year.

Date History

The solemn event that takes place every spring is still very young. The Day of Veterans of the Internal Troops and the Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was established only in 2011 by Rashid Nurgaliyev, who at that time held the post of head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The date itself was chosen according to a historical fact: it was on April 17 that the Public Organization of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops arose and began to function. This happened in 1991, so we can assume that the date is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the formation of this association.

The holiday of April 17, the Day of Veterans of the Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops, is very important. People who have long retired, behind whom there are many solved crimes, do not sit idly by, but continue their activities outside law enforcement agencies. In what way does this manifest itself? The work of veterans takes place in various areas: promoting the need to comply with law enforcement laws, disseminating valuable information among young people - primarily among teenagers who have not reached the age of majority, helping young current police officers. The result of the unofficial activities of veterans is obvious: according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, thanks to these people, a huge number of crimes are solved every year. This means that without the personal enthusiasm of veterans, many criminal cases would not move forward for a very long time, and those who committed them would go unpunished. In other words, justice would triumph much less frequently.

Who are veterans?

Let's talk about the heroes of the occasion on this significant Day of Veterans of the Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops.

The number of veterans in Russia at the moment is about 650 thousand people. This refers to people who have dedicated their lives to serving the good of their homeland. This includes the following categories of citizens:

veterans of the Great Patriotic War;
veterans participating in hostilities in hot spots (Afghanistan, Chechnya);
veterans participating in the liquidation of the monstrous consequences of the Chernobyl accident.

All kinds of veteran organizations function on the territory of our country. In addition to the already mentioned groups of citizens, they include veterans who once served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Regional and district organizations of a similar nature are subordinate to federal associations. In principle, in fact, civil service veterans and labor veterans are also links in this chain, which is significant for the life of the whole country, because their contribution to the development of social activities is also invaluable.

What does the state, the government apparatus do for veterans of all currently available categories? The policy pursued by the authorities focuses on such aspects as the adoption of certain measures for the social support of veterans, the formation of specific specific structures, the allocation of funds from the federal budget necessary to award this category of citizens with state awards (orders and medals). Most of the actions in relation to veterans are regulated by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Veterans" dated 11.01.1995 No. 5-FZ.

Among the diversity of veteran communities, the largest are the Russian Organizing Committee "Victory". It is headed by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. The Central Council of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for Veterans Affairs also functions. The head of this association is the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Similar but smaller organizations have been set up in navies, military districts and other units.

The history of the word and the very status of "veteran" is interesting. The term, translated from Latin, literally means "a soldier who has served his term in the army" (from vetus - old). It is clear that the first veterans appeared in ancient Rome. They were former legionnaires during the time of Julius Caesar. Such soldiers had at least 20 years of service behind them, and after that they were fired or continued to remain with the army. The troops of that era had a fickle, unstable character: as soon as hostilities died down, the legion was disbanded. Only in the 1st century BC. began the formation of the army on a permanent basis. Roman veterans enjoyed benefits of excellent quality: the right to use their own plot of land with which they were endowed by the state, or, alternatively, to receive remuneration for selfless many years of work in monetary terms. In addition, the former Roman legionnaire no longer had to perform the duties assigned to him by the state.

Veterans Awards

We are all aware that there is a medal "Veteran of Labour", which was previously awarded to persons who distinguished themselves in the professional field by conscientious work. It was established by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in 1974. Even more important is the medal "For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945." Such an award must be placed on the left side of the subject's chest prior to the previous award.

Those who faithfully served for the good of the Fatherland in the internal troops are also entitled to a medal. It is jubilee and is called "200 years of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia." This award is given not only to ordinary veterans, but also to combat veterans. The process of delivery is carried out by Minister of Internal Affairs or his deputy on behalf of the Minister himself on the basis of the relevant order in a solemn atmosphere. In addition to the medal, the veteran is given a certificate. An entry about the presentation of the award is made to the personal file and work book of the person whose work deserves the highest praise. Wearing the medal relies on the left side of the chest, immediately after the insignia "200 years of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia".

If we talk about the latter, then this medal is a departmental award of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. It was established just over 10 years ago, on June 5, 2002. On this occasion, order No. 542 was signed. The medal "200 years of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia" is awarded to veterans of this structure, as well as to persons helping the employees of the unit in their hard work. The award is worn on the left side of the chest after the badge "For Distinction in Service".

Veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops will be very happy to receive sincere congratulations on the significant Day of Veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops on April 17. Especially if the recipients of warm wishes, in addition to relatives and friends, are the youth with whom the work is being carried out, and grateful employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Happy holiday, dear veterans!

We sincerely congratulate all veterans on their holiday on April 17, the Day of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops.

On April 17, Russia celebrates the Day of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops. This is a relatively young holiday. It was established on August 12, 2010 by order of the former Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Rashid Nurgaliyev. The first time it was celebrated in 2011. The date of April 17 was not chosen by chance, it was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Public Organization of Veterans of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops, formed on April 17, 1991.

In Russia, veterans are always given increased attention. A special category of our citizens are veterans of the Great Patriotic War, who are respected by the whole society and have a package of various benefits. Such an attitude is natural, because thanks to these people who fought against fascism, in fact, all of us were granted a future, freedom from possible German bondage. At the same time, there is another group of veterans in Russia, to whom Russian society owes no less today - these are veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops.

The Day of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops is a holiday of all those people who served their country with honor, defended its citizens from the encroachments of criminals, defended us in their hands during counter-terrorist operations, stood guard over law and order. Loyalty to civic duty and the chosen path of life, their heroism can only cause well-deserved respect from the current employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Currently, more than 600 thousand veterans live in the Russian Federation, who in different years served in the internal affairs bodies or internal troops. At the same time, even retired veterans do not sit idly by, continuing to benefit society. They are engaged in promoting the observance of law and order and the rule of law, work and train young employees of the internal affairs bodies, transferring their accumulated experience and knowledge, devote time to preventive work among minors by visiting schools. According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, thanks to the help of veterans and veteran organizations and their invaluable experience, a sufficiently large number of crimes are revealed in the country every year, and dangerous criminals are detained. In 2012 alone, with the help of veterans of internal affairs, almost 24,000 crimes were solved. Today every 5th veteran takes part in the practical activities of the internal affairs bodies and subdivisions of the internal troops of Russia.

There are more than 30 thousand veterans of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Russia. At the same time, there are public organizations of veterans of internal troops at all military units, formations and institutions of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Even where previously there were military units and formations that were disbanded, sections of veterans of the internal troops are often created in veteran organizations of the internal affairs bodies.

Veterans of the internal affairs bodies and orphanages, teenagers from single-parent and dysfunctional families help, often taking patronage over them. They try, to the best of their ability, to fight against such a shameful phenomenon for the country as child homelessness. Unfortunately, Russia has not been able to completely defeat this phenomenon since the time of the civil war. It is no secret that such work of veterans helps to form a positive attitude of Russian society towards the police department, employees of the internal troops, as well as to the apparatus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a whole - Russian citizens do not always treat law enforcement officers with respect and understanding, and for this, unfortunately, also there are reasons.

There are also relatively young people among the veterans, some of them are not yet 30 years old. These are those who served in the North Caucasus and in other "hot spots" on the territory of our country, who received serious injuries, injuries and disabilities during their service, but did not break down and did not lose their place in the ranks. At the same time, veterans of the Department of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops are also trying to take care of the families of employees who died in the line of duty - they are trying to provide them not only material assistance, but psychological support, lending their shoulder.

Every year on April 17, veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops accept congratulations from colleagues, relatives and friends. In addition, on this day, festive events are organized not only in veteran organizations, but also in operating units, since the work of veterans continues to be part of their activities. Traditionally, on this memorable day, festive concerts, tea parties, solemn meetings are held, veterans are presented with memorable gifts, honorary awards and certificates. But the festivities don't stop there. Veterans of ATS and VV try not to lose their energy and activity, keeping fit. Especially for them, sports competitions, shooting tournaments are held, while both men and women take part in them. Both those and others set a personal example for young law enforcement officers. Also, together with members of the public, veterans try to organize and conduct methodological conferences, at which rather topical issues and problems are discussed.

We join in the congratulations to the veterans. I would like to wish all veterans of the Department of Internal Affairs and the Internal Troops of Russia health, longevity, and let them continue to actively participate in public life, helping their younger colleagues.

April 17 is the Day of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies. In 2013, this date is celebrated only for the third time. The professional holiday was established in 2011 by ex-Minister of Internal Affairs Rashid Nurgaliyev. It was dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the formation of the Public Organization of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops on April 17, 1991.

Veterans of the internal affairs bodies and internal troops continue to benefit society today. They are engaged in promoting the observance of law and order, carry out preventive work among minors, work with young police officers, passing on their knowledge to them. According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, thanks to veterans and their invaluable experience, a large number of crimes are revealed every year.

In the establishment of the veterans' holiday - recognition of merits, respect and deep gratitude to those who devoted the best years of their lives to serving the Fatherland, who actively participate in the work of services, units, make a practical contribution to the prevention and detection of crimes, to increase the combat readiness of internal troops.

We express our special gratitude to those who went through the severe trials of the Great Patriotic War and, in the difficult time of the post-war devastation, found themselves at the forefront of combating crime, while showing will, courage, determination, initiative, and concern for people. Military-trained people largely determined the moral principles that underlie law enforcement today!

The role of our veterans in the patriotic education of young people is invaluable, and it is pleasant to note that a wonderful succession is growing - intellectual, not indifferent to the future of Russia, physically well-trained young professionals! This is the merit of veterans! Your professional and life experience helps to educate and prepare a worthy replacement, which is extremely important right now when reforming the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Words of gratitude to your loved ones, families for the great moral support, which is indispensable. Wives and children share the hard everyday life of our service, their love and care help us to survive in the performance of service and combat missions.

Let us remember today those who are no longer with us - honest, deeply decent employees and military personnel, we will always remember them.

In the Russian Council of Veterans of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops and in the field, the results of the work of veteran organizations for 2012 were summed up. Fulfilling the decisions of the 6th Reporting and Election Conference and the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 875 of November 3, 2006, we were able to achieve an improvement in work in all positions that evaluate the work of veteran organizations. First of all, the number of primary organizations has increased. The total number of veterans amounted to 603.7 thousand people. The number of veterans participating in practical activities has increased by 5,000. Today, more than 33,000 veterans are mentors for young employees and military personnel, almost 24,000 crimes have been solved with the participation of veterans, and about 400,000 teenagers have been involved in preventive work.

A significant date is approaching - the 70th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. At a meeting of the Russian Council of Veterans, the Regulations on the review-competition of the work of veteran organizations dedicated to this outstanding event were considered and approved. I call on all veterans to actively participate in the review competition in order to adequately celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Victory.

An important place in the activities of the Russian Council of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops is occupied by interaction with veteran organizations of the CIS countries. We hold regular meetings, exchange experience, congratulate the participants of the Great Patriotic War, whose joint military feat ensured Victory in the hardest war against fascism. On the eve of May 9, I congratulate all colleagues, veterans, including those from the CIS countries, on this significant date.

Dear veterans! I wish you and your families good health, well-being, further success in the noble cause - serving the Fatherland! Veterans have lived many years, many roads have been passed! But there are new roads ahead, new problems, new achievements! And the task of veterans is to help the younger generation pass them with honor and valor for the glory of their own Ministry of the Interior and the Motherland!
