December 10 - Day of the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Communications Service: history and traditions of the holiday

Every year on December 10, employees of the communications service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia celebrate their professional holiday - professionals whose work often remains behind the scenes, but without which the timely exchange of operational and service information between units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is impossible. In 2024, the celebration falls on Tuesday. On the history of the creation of the service and the traditions of the celebration read in the material "Izvestia".

Day of the establishment of the communication service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia - the history of the holiday on December 10

The professional holiday was established by order of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in 1999. The date was chosen not by chance - December 10, 1949 was established Communications Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, which laid the foundation for the development of modern communication departments of the department.

The need for organization of reliable communication between the Ministry of Internal Affairs units arose already in the early years of the Soviet state. At that time the fastest and most reliable means of communication were telegraph and telephone. It was especially relevant during the Great Patriotic War, when the exchange of information through encrypted lines of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense played a key role in intelligence and counterintelligence operations.

Nevertheless, communication became a full-fledged structure within the Ministry of Internal Affairs only in the late 1940s, after the emergence of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs Communications Department. In the post-war period, the main attention was paid to the development of radio communications, which provided rapid transmission of messages to remote areas of the country.

In the 1980s, the department began to introduce digital technologies, conservative systems were replaced by new devices that provided higher data transmission speeds, as well as data protection.

After the collapse of the USSR, the service went through a difficult stage of reforms. In 2004, it became part of the Home Front Department of the Russian Interior Ministry. In the conditions of transition to a market economy, emphasis was placed on the introduction of modern satellite communication technologies, mobile networks and Internet protocols, as well as modernization of equipment. This made it possible to significantly increase efficiency and ensure reliable communications even in remote and hard-to-reach regions of Russia.

The main task of the communication units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the new century was to ensure the protection of information from cyber threats. For this purpose, specialized encryption programs have been developed that comply with international standards and prevent data leakage.

At present, the functions of the service include maintaining integrated operation of communication lines nationwide, timely exchange of operational and service information with a high degree of reliability, implementation of information technologies to ensure law and order and fight crime.
