Russian National Guard is formed.

VV (Troops of the Interior) leave the Ministry of the Interior (MVD) to become the National Guard reporting directly to the President. Meanwhile the Drug Enforcement (FKSN) and the Migration Services (FMS) are subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior... got all of that. Actually surprised the FSO (Guard Protection Service) wasn't merged in with the National Guard.

So National Guard Troops will be the new form of ex Internal Troops. What will happen with the special forces of Internal Troops (MVD Spetsnaz)?

They (SN) are part of the new National Guard. The SF troops that stayed with the MVD were the OMON and SOBR units which are police units anyway.

On the other hand after reading this article I'm confused and in more ways then one

And
The decision was made, we create a new federal executive body on the basis of Interior Ministry troops, creating the National Guard, which will deal with the fight against terrorism, organized crime, in close contact with the Ministry of Internal Affairs will continue to perform those functions which are performed by riot police units SWAT, and so on. d "-.

4. Turn on the structure of the Federal Service of the Russian Federation troops National Guard:

a) The bodies of internal affairs and units of the Ministry of the Russian Federation by the federal state control (supervision) over observance of the Russian legislation in the field of arms trafficking in the field of private security activities, as well as security services, including the Center for Special Purpose private security service of the Ministry of the Interior Affairs of the Russian Federation;

b) special rapid reaction units of territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;

c) mobile teams of special purpose of territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;

So the Private Security Guard division of the Police will also go to the National Guard... keeps getting bigger and bigger.

During the Communist time there were no private security and alarm companies. After the change those Security services which had been part of the MVD, continued to be run by the MVD as Private Security services known as the FGUP. The business was obviously self sufficient financially and in co-ordination with the militia or police acted as additional eyes and ears for the MVD. A lot of their work would be for Federal, Regional and local government organizations, businesses and housing.

"Now, of course, reconnaissance of the National Guard will be the subject of operative-investigative activities, because in the fight against extremism and terrorism can not be without it. This will make a full guard security service ", - he told the newspaper VIEW, former Commander of the Internal Troops, former Interior Minister Anatoly Kulikov, commenting on the presidential bill on the establishment of the National Guard.

On Wednesday, the lower house of parliament was announced a bill to create a new power structure, which is made on the eve of President Vladimir Putin. If the document will come into force in this form, it will receive all the National Guard under the functions and powers available to the Interior Ministry troops, and take your piece of important directions of activity of the police department.

"The troops will be better framework, methodology of training, discipline, weapons, polygons, equipment and everything else. Including its helicopters and airplanes "

According to the newspaper VIEW, on the establishment of a new department, reporting directly to the president, it became known yesterday, when it was published a presidential decree on the formation of the Russian Guard.

According to the decree, must be created by transforming the National Guard under the internal troops and joining them some units MIA, mainly power applications: SWAT, SWAT, rapid-reaction forces and aviation. In addition, the National Guard under the structure of units included licensing and permitting MVD system controlling arms trafficking and the activities of private security and private security.

As calculated "Vedomosti", the Interior Troops is about 170 thousand people, riot police and SWAT -.. About 30 thousand people, while the number of private security, FSUE "Protection" and the licensing and permitting departments - about 200 thousand people..

National Guard including the will and the fight against terrorism and organized crime. One of the objectives of the reform - to increase the efficiency of command and control, but the law has a transition period - for the first time operational riot police and SWAT submission will be for the Interior Ministry, although formally they go to the Guards.

Former commander of internal troops of Russia, the former Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of the Interior, a former State Duma deputy, now head of the "Club of the Russian Federation military leaders" Anatoly Kulikov told the newspaper VIEW that difficulties can be faced at first the new guard.

The end result of this leaves the MVD as pretty much a pure Police Force of ~485,000 or less then 3.5 / 1,000. However this force is without SWAT or Riot units.

The National Guard would be ~400,000 of which half would be paramilitary forces and the other half, a Security Guard Service.

Interesting view point of possible reasons for creating the National Guard;

More research reveals more data in regards to the new force. It has not been completely determined yet or at least announced what units will be transferred into the National Guard but here are the prospective units. The announced authorized strength in 2015 of the Ministry of Interior (MVD) was 835,825 service personnel. The Migration Service (FMS) with ~18,000 service personnel and the Drug Enforcement Service (FSKN) with ~31,200 are being incorporated into the MVD to create a force of ~885,000 service people. Here are some units being mentioned as potential National Guard;

Overview
A division similar to this would effectively divide the MVD in two almost equal forces of a National Police with ~442,000 personnel and a National Guard with ~443,000 personnel.

Spetsnaz units

Dzerzhinsky Division (ODON), 604th Center
7th OSN Rosich (Novocherkassk)
12th OSN Ural (Nizhny Tagil)
15th OSN Vyatich (Armavir)
17th OSN Edelveys (Mineralnye Vody)
19th OSN Ermak (Novosibirsk)
20th OSN (Saratov)
21st OSN Tayfun (Sosnovka)
23rd OSN Mechel (Chelyabinsk)
25th OSN Merkuriy (Smolensk)
26th OSN Bars (Kazan)
27th OSN Kuzbass (Kemerovo)
28th OSN Ratnik (Arkhangelsk)
29th OSN Bulat (Ufa)
33rd OSN Peresvet (Moscow)
34th OSN (Grozny)
35th OSN (Simferopol, Crimea)

The 20th at Saratov was called "Vega", but is apparently no more and is replaced by the 35th "Rus" stationed in Simferopol, Crimea.

The unit assigned to the ODON is called the 604th Center and is made up of what was originally two SN units, the 1st and the 8th. It's the national reaction force.

There is also a unit at Stavropol called the 30th Special Regiment "Svyatogor" for which I have not yet identified it's exact role.

Officially they have 52,000 troops divided into 5 regional commands. How many units are actually under government control is another topic?
