The Federal Guard Service of the Russian Federation[1] (Russian: Федеральная служба охраны Российской Федерации, IPA: [fʲɪdʲɪˈralʲnəjə ˈsluʐbə ɐˈxranɨ rɐˈsʲijskəj fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨɪ] (Federal'naya sluzhba okhrany Rossiyskoy Federatsii)), also known as the FGS of Russia (Russian: ФСО России, IPA: [ɛf ɛs ˌo rɐˈsʲiɪ]), is a federal government agency concerned with the tasks related to the protection of several high-ranking state officials, mandated by the relevant law, 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 forego state protection."[2]
FSO includes the Russian Presidential Security Service.[3] The FSO includes an estimated 50,000 troops[4] and controls the "black box" that can be used in the event of nuclear war.[5] It reportedly uses advanced domestic technical developments.[6]
