ATERRURAR WHILR

Today the state is almost helpless. The country needs global structural reforms of the entire protective system

The country was scared. The expectation of a new terrorist attack today is not just street everyday life, natural after tragic events, but also a completely real fear of the political class, which realized the scale of the threat. The nation and its diverse elite ask themselves the same question: is the state ready for the minimum prevention of terror and what, in fact, should be done? And it is already quite obvious that no cash injection will ensure national security until large -scale structural reforms of the entire protective system are carried out. The answer, in other words, is that the state today is almost helpless.

According to newspapers, at the World Chechen Congress in Copenhag, not Maskhadovsky representative Ahmed Zakaev mentioned that the next goal of the terrorists could be a nuclear object. The Kremlin took it literally and seriously. As Gennady Gudkov, a member of the Duma Security Committee, told the magazine, “serious steps to protect nuclear reactors and power plants” were outlined. Accordingly, there will be a propriet -haired van closed budget items. At the same time, according to some reports, the Ministry of Defense has already strengthened the protection of nuclear ammunition, and the technical bases of storage of charges are transferred from the Strategic Missile Forces to the direct maintenance of one of the main departments of the ministry. However, the protection of nuclear objects is the only specific task that today can formulate in the Duma and the government. The remaining subsidies are more likely to be a premium payments to special services for a successful assault.

Meanwhile, most airports, with the exception of the largest, today do not and cannot afford special inspection equipment, and for the real fulfillment of the requirements of the aviation authorities to strengthen safety measures, money from the budget is needed. At the airports of Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo, the tax rates for ensuring aviation security have already been increased. Travelers, however, are known that, for example, in Sheremetyevo from passengers, sharp and pricking objects are not taken on board before entrance.

That week, the Federation Council recommended that the government (in agreement with it) allocate an additional 3 billion rubles for anti -terrorist activities. The deputy chairman of the budget committee Vladislav Reznik explained that we are talking about financing the FSB special purpose center, operational agent and sponsoring scientific developments. The amount, however, is not final and is still waiting for the usual lobbying packaging. In fact, this is all that deputies and the government managed to come up with a week, except for routine debate on the draft Law “On National Security”, the effectiveness of which, obviously, will be akin to the usefulness of the law “On Corruption”. The Kremlin, where they think strategically, focused on the concept of national security and other documents of no less doctrinal nature (see p. 18-19).

A well -informed source in Moscow law enforcement agencies told the magazine that the Caucasian team was detained, which, judging by operational data, planned to organize a series of explosions in the metro. In the last days, the Moscow department of the FSB received many signals, fifty of which are quite serious. So you need to prepare for the worst. The whole question is how.

You can, of course, put in public buildings framework metal detectors and security pensioners to replace with strong children from some choke. But our interlocutor from the FSB believes that such measures, and massive inspections that are satisfied with the traffic police on Moscow streets, give little. “You need to know on which routes to introduce enhanced control, which car to stop, and not check everyone in a row and take bribes.” You need to have a good agent network and analysts. They must comprehend all the information and give aiming to operational services. “But we don’t have enough agents and analysts,” says the same FSB officer. Sergei Goncharov, president of the Alpha veterans association, in the Moscow City Duma, agrees with him, the struggle against corruption and organized crime: the agent service, which is the only one, can actually be created again. However, as one reconnaissance officer explained to Interfax, "the introduction of a prepared agent from the outside on Wednesday of Chechen militants is an incredibly difficult matter." The problem, however, is also that of the money that the Duma is now really ready to give for these purposes, a penny will reach the notorious agents.

In Moscow, until November 11, the police are serving in an intensified mode and conducts special operations, which human rights organizations have already paid attention to. Working in harsh conditions of the lack of agents, the police forcibly removes fingerprints from all Moscow Chechens. As the administrative-blue pressure increases, the Mazda for stay in the capital, which provides an entire branch of urban economy, is growing. The city hall habitually uses the terrorist attack as an extra trump card in a polemic around the unconstitutional institute of registration and tightens the regiment of Caucasians. The city hall deliberately acts contrary to logic and ignores the fact that terror in the capital just illustrates the glaring meaninglessness of all registration procedures when any certificates are sold and bought.

The Moscow City Duma is also worried. As deputy Yevgeny Bunimovich explained to the “magazine”, the capture of hostages in Moscow will inevitably lead to changes in the metropolitan budget. It is still unknown what changes will be discussed, except for special studies to support the musical Nord-Ost. Bunimovich also proposes to give real meaning to the school subject “Fundamentals of Security and Life Foundation” and teach children to behave correctly in dangerous situations. Yuri Antonyan, a professor at the Modern Humanitarian Institute, offers special services to work out the technology for the provision of psychological assistance to hostages while they are captured by terrorists, and all possible medical procedures necessary after their release. But since there is still no responsibility for the criminal negligence in the organization of medical care to released hostages (see p. 8-13), there is no confidence that even this obviously reasonable recommendation will be implemented.

Finally, according to Bunimovich, there is already a discussion of the proposal of the head of the Moscow Central Internal Affairs Directorate of Pronin to send to the Moscow police of the capital's conscripts who know the city better. The deputy believes that this issue may be resolved quite quickly if desired. In fact, if you distract from strategic nuclear objects, a key problem of national security and is the functioning of the police, more precisely, a well -established public device in which a policeman at best is a life obstacle, in the worst, a criminal with state powers and on salaries. Here the matter is not so much even in protecting the city, but in the very existence of the state, the basis of which is laid down a system of legalized corruption and imitation of public order protection.

The commission of Dmitry Kozaka to separate the powers between the center and regions prepares the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: by 2006 it is proposed to divide the ministry into the municipal police, which was engaged in the patrol service, giving it to the regional authorities, and to the federal criminal police financed from the center. Reform already causes disputes. For example, deputy Gudkov fears that two new services will not be able to carefully share affairs and dangerous conflicts will arise between them. In fact, the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not only the problem of legislative decisions and their subsequent embodiment. Until the authorities carry out public selection of law enforcement officers, they do not repress the guilty and, no less important, do not encourage distinguished ones, the police are not able to realize their own noble mission of the public intercessor. If no one is responsible for the Moscow tragedy, it means, by default, even those who are not to blame are guilty. And this is another lesson in a terrorist attack on the capital, which is most directly related to national security. More precisely, to its complete absence.
