2024: How will the digital transformation of the Russian Guard take place. The State Duma adopted a law
On April 9, 2024, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law on the digital transformation of the Russian Guard. The document gives the department additional special powers in terms of the creation, development and operation of state information systems (GIS) in the field of arms trafficking, private security and private detective activities, private security, etc.
It is noted that the tasks of the Russian Guard include federal state control over compliance with legislation in the field of arms turnover and private security activities, as well as control over the activities of security units of legal entities with special statutory tasks and departmental security units. As of the beginning of 2024, as noted, the bulk of document management in the relevant area is digitalized, and 98% of public services are provided by the Russian Guard in a remote format. The leadership of the department consistently carries out the digital transformation of the troops of the national guard, which, as stated, allows not only to simplify interaction with citizens and legal entities, but also to strengthen control over the circulation of weapons and improve the management of security services processes.
The new law is aimed at further digital transformation of the Russian Guard. This will be achieved, among other things, by creating and maintaining specialized data banks in the fields of private security activities and private security. In the development of GIS, special attention will be paid to the security and protection of stored data.
 | The implementation of the bill will optimize the state control of arms turnover and private security activities carried out by the Russian Guard, as well as increase the effectiveness of the activities of private security units, which, in turn, will contribute to strengthening public safety and protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, the document says. |  |
Initially, the bill envisaged the creation of three GIS - in the areas of arms turnover, private security activities and private security. However, then, as noted by TASS, the list was expanded: the Russian Guard receives the authority to create and operate GIS in the field of state control over the activities of departmental security units designed to protect public facilities, as well as units for protecting legal entities with special statutory tasks that ensure the protection of the life and health of citizens or property protection, including with the use of service weapons. In addition, Rosgvardia receives the right to conduct GIS in the field of private detective activities, as well as in the field of state control over ensuring the safety of facilities of the fuel and energy complex (fuel and energy complex ).
In accordance with the adopted law, the provisions on state information systems, including those providing for the procedure for accessing information contained in them, the list of recipients of information, the list of suppliers of information, the composition of information provided by them to state information systems, the procedure and terms for providing information to state information systems, are approved by the government of the Russian Federation. GIS will receive data on individuals and legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and legal representatives of these persons.
The document also amends the law "On the Safety of Fuel and Energy Complex Facilities," according to which departmental protection is allowed in relation to the subjects of the fuel and energy complex, which act as the parent organization and subsidiary of which is granted the exclusive right to export liquefied natural gas.[1][2]
2023: Rosgvardia launched a center for coordinating digital transformation projects
Rosgvardia has launched a center for coordinating digital transformation projects. The press service of the department announced this on November 24, 2023.
As specified in the Russian Guard, the main activities of the center are:
- ensuring management of digital transformation projects;
- providing operational management of digital processes that take place in the Russian Guard to support the activities of the Unified Information Space of Troops, numbering more than 90 thousand computers;
- providing import substitution of software;
- providing information security.
According to Mikhail Varentsov, head of the Department of Digital Development and Information Protection of the Russian Guard, the center allows you to effectively solve the tasks of centrally managing the information and communication infrastructure of the National Guard troops, maintaining information systems and software, identifying and preventing cyber threats, ensuring interdepartmental electronic interaction and automation of public services provided by the Russian Guard.
| | From the center, operational management of the daily activities of the service units and digitalization projects, coordination of measures for import substitution of software will be carried out. The opening of the center will also make it possible to more effectively and quickly respond to citizens' appeals through the State Public services portal, he added. | |
According to the Rosgvardia's own data, by the end of November 2023, the department provides 26 public services, and since 2016 - since the formation of the department - more than 5 million appeals from citizens received in various areas of activity of the Rosgvardia have been processed. In June 2023, the Russian Guard adopted a directive defining strategic priorities for the digitalization of troops in the medium term.[3]
2022: The prestige of the Russian Guard will be raised using computer games
The prestige of the Russian Guard will be raised using computer games, which became known on June 22, 2022. The financing can be implemented within the framework of a grant from the RFRIT and other budgetary support measures without using the funds of the Russian Guard, according to a letter that the head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Alexander Khinshtein sent to the Director of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov.
According to Khinshtein, it is advisable to use new forms of media communications as the youngest law enforcement agency, "which is at the forefront of the fight against crime." This approach can be used by other law enforcement agencies, the deputy is convinced.
Following a meeting held in the State Duma with the participation of representatives of the Russian Fund for the Development of Information Technologies (RFRIT) and the Ministry of Digital Development, two options were developed for popularizing the image of the Russian Guard and its employees: creating a new tactical-team game about the service or integrating its image "with the creation of unique characters" into an existing one. As such a game, in particular, the online shooter "Caliber," developed by the Cypriot 1S-777 Limited, is offered.
The head of the ANO "Institute for the Development of the Internet" Alexei Goreslavsky considers the idea of using video games to raise the prestige of the Russian Guard successful and noted that such projects are already in world practice.
| | Let's remember SWAT, where a special police squad goes to neutralize criminals and asocial elements. Most of all, it is not the gameplay itself that is remembered, but the missions: you understand what these people are doing, what is the complexity and subtlety of their work, "he said. | |
However, the source of the newspaper in a large international gaming studio doubted that any Russian company would undertake to implement the idea of introducing images of Rosgvardia employees into games or creating new ones, as this would immediately entail Western sanctions.[4]
2020: Rosgvardia requested 10.8 billion rubles for digital transformation
On December 14, 2020, it became known that the Russian Guard requested 10.8 billion rubles from the budget for digital transformation. In particular, support for the existing IT infrastructure and services, which will be launched in the coming years, was estimated at 6.7 billion rubles.
These figures are contained in the plan for the digital transformation of the Russian Guard, which came to the disposal of Kommersant. The authenticity of the document was confirmed to the publication by a federal official.
Rosgvardia requests funds from the budget of the Digital Economy national project for digitalization in 2021-2023. According to the department's estimates, 470 million rubles will be required for the "operation of printing devices," and the support and update of the centralized accounting system for the turnover of civilian weapons, which Rosgvardia will launch in 2021, will cost 185.4 million rubles.
By 2023, the Russian Guard wants to provide 70% of employees with computers with domestic software, while by December 2020 they are 44%, Kommersant points out. It is also planned to connect 50% of Rosgvardeytsy to the electronic document management system against 25% by December 2020.
As the newspaper notes, the request of the Russian Guard "looks modest" against the background of requests from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSIN Pe nitentiary Service. Thus, the police need 55 billion rubles for digitalization, and the FSIN - 25 billion rubles. Experts interviewed by the publication noted that it is necessary to conduct an independent assessment of the digitalization of security officials, which still "remains opaque."
Most of the budgets for software for the public sector will still be mastered by the largest IT companies, says Nikolai Komlev, director of the Association of Computer and Information Technologies.
| | It remains for small regional IT companies to master the global market and the private business segment, where the state does not prescribe which programs to install and on what equipment to work on, he told the newspaper.[5] | |
