Holidays of Russia - Day of Veterans of Internal Affairs Bodies and Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation

When people talk about veterans, they almost always mean WWII veterans We are grateful to them for liberating the country from fascist conquerors many years ago, but there are other veterans who also deserve no less respect These are veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and internal troops of Russia, those people who provide security for civilians On April 17, residents of the Russian Federation have the opportunity to congratulate those who for many years risked their lives every day, because on this day the Day of Veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops of the Russian Federation was established There has been a need for such a holiday for a long time, because there was no such date either in the USSR or in Russia This continued until the then-current Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rashid Nurgaliev, signed a decree in 2011, after which April 17 was given the status of Veterans Day of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops Since then, every year they have congratulated those who served on the “internal front” of the country Why did they decide to congratulate the “old guard” on this particular day? In 2011, exactly 20 years have passed since the non-departmental Organization of Veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops of Russia was established They decided to celebrate this holiday for her 20th birthday At the beginning of their professional career, these people took an oath and did not deviate from it for many years Over the years, many of them have solved more than one complex criminal case and risked their lives during arrest, without even thinking about the danger for a second Special respect to them for this selfless work! However, even after retirement, they remain true to their word and continue the work of their whole life Passing on your experience to young employees, promoting compliance with laws among young people - all this is only a small part of the work that veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops do On April 17, current employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Troops consider it their duty to congratulate their former colleagues If there are such people among your relatives or friends, do not forget to join these congratulations!
