The
Federal Protective Service (FSO) (Russian: Федеральная
служба охраны, ФСО
(Federalnaya Sluzhba Okhrany) of the Russian Federation,
official name in English Federal Guard Service of the Russian Federation)
is a federal government agency concerned with the tasks related to the
protection of several, mandated by the relevant law, high-ranking state
officials, including the President of Russia,
as well as certain federal properties. It traces its origin to the USSR's Ninth Chief
Directorate of the KGB and later Presidential
Security Service (SBP) led by KGB general Alexander Korzhakov.
On
May 27, 1996, the law "On State Protection" reorganized the GUO
(Glavnoye Upravlenie Okhrani) into the FSO (Federal Protection Service). Under
article 7 of the law, "the President of the Russian Federation, while in
office, shall not be allowed to forgo state protection."
FSO
includes the Russian
Presidential Security Service. This president's personal security is
directed by Viktor Zolotov
who, according to Sergei
Tretiakov, also supervises the entire FSO.

The National Guard of Russia (Russian:
Национальная Гвардия России, Natsional'naya Gvardiya Rossii),
also known as the "Russian Guards" (Rosgvardia), is an
internal security corps organized along military lines of the Russian Federation.
It was established in April 2016 by a decree signed by President Vladimir
Putin to create this new federal executive body to combat terrorism,
organized crime, protect public order and guard important state facilities. The
corps is directly subordinated to him under his powers as supreme
commander-in-chief and Security Council Chairman.
According to some scholars, the establishment
of the National Guard of Russia is an effort to enhance efficiency and avoid
duplication of responsibilities within the Russian security system.

Structure and command
Since
May 18, 2000, the agency is headed by General Evgeny Murov. The FSO has roughly
20,000–30,000 uniformed personnel plus several thousand plainclothed personnel
and controls the Cheget
that can be used in the event of global nuclear
war. It also operates a secure communications system for senior government
officials. The FSO is a powerful institution with a range of rights and powers,
including the right to conduct searches and surveillance without warrants, make
arrests, and give orders to other state agencies.
One
of the FSO units is the Kremlin Regiment. A more recent addition to the FSO
infrastructure is the Special Communications Service
of Russia (Spetsviaz) which was incorporated as a structural sub unit on
August 7, 2004.
