The Rosguard, after the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, is the second most important component of the occupying forces of the Russian Federation. Members of this formation perform the role of rear-guard units to suppress civil resistance. Their duties include carrying out filtering activities among the civilian population and identifying members of the underground movement.
According to data provided by the Ukrainian underground, as of January 2024, the Russian Federation concentrated about 35,000 Russian Guardsmen on TOT. Half of them are regular formations, which are divided into brigades, 5 battalion-tactical groups and 44 tactical groups. The rest are more than 100 consolidated units, which are imported from the territory of the Russian Federation on a rotational basis. Combined units are formed from among employees of the riot police and SOBR.
In addition to service vehicles and APC, these units are armed with tanks, artillery systems, and helicopters. And they use this entire range of weapons to subdue those who disagree with the Russian occupation. Also, these units were involved in the protection of “polling stations” in the Russian Federation during the pseudo-referendum in September 2022 and the pseudo-elections in September 2023. Along with the fact that, in general, these units are responsible for the preservation of Putin’s ruling regime and his entourage on the territory of the Russian Federation itself, it can be argued that Putin’s Rosguard is the Russian analogue of the Gestapo of the times of the Third Reich.
Undoubtedly, it is the employees of the Russian Guard who will exert pressure on the civilian population in the process of preparing for the “elections” of the President of the Russian Federation, which are scheduled for March 2024.
In addition to conducting actual combat operations against the civilian population, Rosguard employees are actively involved in propaganda activities in educational institutions. They also play the role of force projection by constantly patrolling populated areas in armored combat vehicles and in full equipment.
