Does Russia need a national guard and what role will it play?

In the American news, reports about the success of the National Guard are often slipped. Apparently, it is the successes of the transatlantic guardsmen that can be explained by the fact that Russia can also create its own national guard.

Before we comment on the very fact of such an event, we need to talk about this education as a whole. So, in the United States, the national guard is actually called the internal troops. And do not think that they perform exclusively military functions. On the contrary, they are constantly used to help regions affected by natural disasters. They are often attracted to support firefighters and rescuers. For example, during the infamous summer fires in California, when the situation became critical, it was the guards who helped firemen curb the elements.

However, the National Guard in America can be used and not for such peace-loving purposes. For example, they can be sent to suppress riots and insurrections inside the country, as well as to help police, whose strength may not be quite enough. In addition, the Guard can be used to destroy terrorists, and its connections are often involved in wars that the United States has waged in recent years.

As you can see, the functions of the Guard are very diverse. However, are they not repeating the tasks of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and Internal Troops in our country? Yes, they do. That is why the national guard of Russia is a vague and unexplored phenomenon.

Unlike all the same America, where the Guard performs a number of tasks, we are going to create an organization in our country that is accountable only to V.V. Putin. As if our internal troops have no tasks to protect power in the country! Already several experts expressed their opinion that another useless power organization is again being created in Russia, which will only demand money for its maintenance.

Do you think that the US National Guard is only concerned with protecting the very vague "interests of society"? No, its tasks are clear and transparent ... unlike our "guards", which once again pick up the pent-up contract servicemen. What will they do? What will they protect?

There are suggestions that the Guard can also participate in the elimination of natural disasters. But does the Ministry of Emergency do not cope with this? Perhaps this incomprehensible education will be occupied with the neutralization of terrorists? And why then do we need numerous special-purpose groups? But the likelihood that the gallant national guard will be used instead of the riot police, suppressing street riots during the next protests, is very high.

In Russia there were already separate guards military units that covered their name after the Great Patriotic War. However, after the "reforms" initiated by the former defense minister (which is still at large), these parts were no more. It is unclear why Russia needs a national guard, its rank does not deserve ...
