The Head of State signed amendments to the Federal Law "On the Troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation". The document, published today in the "RG", eliminates frequent disputes, sometimes reaching court proceedings, between the management of enterprises that protect the units of the Rosgvardiya, and the command of these units.
This is similar to a dispute between economic entities - who will provide quartering of Rosgvardiya units near protected objects, construction, maintenance, and major repairs. Finally, who will pay for the utility costs of military camps.
Recall that we are not talking about the protection of ordinary industrial, transport or commercial enterprises. Especially not about the paid services that Rosgvardiya provides under contracts. The amendments to the law relate to particularly important state facilities, the security of which Rosgvardiya is obliged to ensure. These are nuclear power plants and icebreakers, ports, special cargo and communication facilities, so-called hazardous industries, including nuclear and chemical ones. The government has special lists of such objects.
And here the question arises - at whose expense should all this happen? On the one hand, Rosgvardiya has its own budget. In addition to all types of allowances, it takes into account the costs of weapons, construction, training, and social needs. But when protecting particularly important objects, Rosgvardiya is not guided by its own needs, but adapts to the needs and requirements of this particular object. It is necessary to protect something in the Arctic ice, in the taiga, in the desert or in the highlands-so they will protect where they say. But how do these guards settle in? Now the president has clearly assigned the tasks of financing this arrangement to those who are being protected. Apparently, they will now have to change something in their budgets.
