No, if you want, you have every right to drink your glass of vodka every December 20 in your personal kitchen. For Chekists. And in the official calendar Russian Federation there is no such holiday.
There is a "Day of the Russian Security Service Worker", which is celebrated on December 20. What's the difference, you say. The FSB is the legal successor of the KGB, and therefore it does not matter what the holiday is called. It's still a "bloody gebya" holiday. And you are completely wrong.
Now I'll tell you why you're wrong.
On October 22, 1991, in accordance with the decision of the State Council (it is interesting that such a body was not provided for in the Constitution of that period), the USSR State Security Committee was abolished, i.e. liquidated. The same decree created: the Central Intelligence Service of the USSR, the Committee for the Protection state border USSR and the Inter-Republican Security Service.
On December 3, 1991, the liquidation of the KGB was confirmed by the Council of the Republics of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
In accordance with the "Temporary Regulations on the Inter-Republican Security Service (MSB)", the created MSB is the legal successor of the KGB exclusively in part material and technical base and property.
You will say, but people have remained. The ones who are "gebyo". And you will be wrong again. For some time they were still listed in the newly created security body. Then the SME was headed by a well-known professional and reformer V.V. Bakatin. He first reformed the corrupt bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: he dismissed most of the operational staff, in fact forbade undercover work among criminals, but allowed the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to “earn extra money” in their free time, i.e. receive money in commercial and other structures. And he did a lot of other democratic things in the militia.
Have you heard something about the "rampant crime" in the nineties? This was already a direct result of the reform and democratization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Gorbachev, on the other hand, liked the reforms in the Ministry of Internal Affairs so much that he transferred Bakatin to state security.
I suppose you have heard about the wiretapping scandal at the American embassy? This is when Mr. Bakatin (let me remind you - already the head of the SME) handed over to the Americans not only the scheme, but also the latest Soviet equipment, which they managed to attach to the American embassy back in Soviet times. He managed to convey a lot more, but couldn’t manage even more (although he really wanted to), and therefore wrote Gorbachev a memo in which he complained about the damned “gebyo”, who stubbornly hides documents, does not want to share information, hides the latest technical means etc.
That's when the real reforms began with the reduction of units and the dismissal of employees. Scouts were pulled out of "friendly Western countries" and fired (subsequently, Primakov recalled that when he headed the foreign intelligence service, he simply went nuts - a whole 1 (!) Russian intelligence officer worked in the United States), the number of employees in military counterintelligence was reduced by almost 90%. , about the same number of employees “went to National economy” and from “territories”.
I remember the joy in the media when they announced that the 5th KGB Directorate had been completely liquidated. These are the same bastards who stifled freedom and persecuted Saint Solzhenitsyn. And other representatives of the creative intelligentsia were tyrannized. The people rejoiced. And the 5th Directorate was largely engaged not in the Solzhenitsyns, but in the prevention of terrorist acts and sabotage.
Why were the people not so happy when they started blowing up houses in Moscow? Where are the police looking? The police, in accordance with government decrees, are engaged in free time, bobble prey. And it's not their job. And whose? So now it's a draw. “Professionals are behind the attacks.” Where are your professionals? It takes years for them to appear. It is not at all an easy job to prevent terrorist attacks.
But, not all employees Bakatin fired. Bakatin not all. Since August 1991, over the next four years, seven (!) Chiefs have been replaced as head of the security service. All were reformed, reduced and, what is especially interesting, changed the name of the service. I don't even remember all the abbreviations. Even the all-knowing Wikipedia does not already know this. The KGB certificate was taken away and a "mandate" was issued - a sheet of writing paper, which confirmed that the bearer of this was an employee. Then they demanded to surrender the "mandate" and issued another "mandate". And then, in the end, they took one piece of paper and promised, then, to send another. Yes, they didn't send it.
However, not only our “democrats” were involved in the reform. The director of the FBI, L. Free, came to Moscow and offered to train managerial and operational personnel for the Russian special services for free computers. His proposal was accepted in part.
A commission was created, which included such interesting characters: Webster (former director of the CIA), Shenfill (former US Deputy Attorney General), Snyder (the current chief adviser to the US Senate Intelligence Committee) and some other equally interesting personalities. This commission worked for three days in the Lesnye Dali sanatorium near Moscow - they held secret negotiations on the further activities of the foreign intelligence service and the security service (representatives of our services were not allowed to negotiate). There was a conversation between the Democrats.
And Mr. Soros was noted in the reform of the KGB - he began to finance human rights activists. Think it's so harmless? Human rights activists, for example, demanded, and the deputies supported, to make public the lists of agents who worked in the Middle East for the "damned KGB". The same human rights activists from all screens demanded to completely liquidate the special services in Russia. And the public seems to be supportive.
And there was also the American Heritage Foundation, which worked under the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation - the parliamentary commissions of the Supreme Council undertook to hold open hearings on national security issues, the security service could now only fight banditry and terrorism on the territory of the Russian Federation, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the GRU did not have the right to conduct intelligence activities against Western intelligence agencies and had to completely refuse to work with agents who worked in the KGB.
Mrs. Starovoitova gave birth to a bill on the lustration of all KGB officers. However, this draft law, for obvious reasons, did not become law.
There were many things. And as a result, today the FSB is not the KGB. This is a completely different service. Including in terms of their capabilities. Therefore, do not blame the guys - they are now literally pulling security with a hump and are well aware that they can close only certain areas. Such pinpoint state security. For which, if anything, you will have to answer. Heads may be deprived of their posts, and employees ... Buried at public expense.
Yes, in it, in the FSB, a certain number of former employees KGB. AT Ukrainian army former officers of the Soviet Army are serving, but who today will say that the army of Ukraine is Soviet?
"Day of the worker of the security agencies of the Russian Federation" was established by the decree of B.N. Yeltsin in 1995. Why did you choose December 20? I do not believe that Yeltsin wanted to maintain some kind of continuity. Most likely, Boris Nikolayevich was simply cheated - they slipped him an insignificant document, and he waved it.
Therefore, live in peace - the KGB is no more.
Why am I writing about this? You probably guessed it - I'm a "former". And even worse - I'm from the "dead". Do you know what SMERSH is? These are freaks who slept all day long, ate sweetly and drank a lot during breaks, and at night they tortured "fighters against the Stalinist regime." They (we) also organized detachments, shot millions of innocent civilians in Europe during the “Second World War”, drowned peaceful democratic protests in Hungary and Czechoslovakia in blood.
By the way, I can give you a little help. During the Great Patriotic War military counterintelligence officer (SMERSH) lived in the war, on average, three months. SMERSH has never dealt with detachments. However, there was one case - during the defense of Stalingrad, one of the detachments was commanded by a military counterintelligence officer. But let's not judge him harshly - he stayed in Stalingrad.
I can tell you about Senior Lieutenant Pyotr Anfimovich Zhidkov - this is the first military counterintelligence officer who was awarded the title of Hero Soviet Union. Do you think he got a "hero" for torturing a Democrat? No, he raised a company that was left without officers, in an attack "against a superior enemy," personally destroyed six Nazis in hand-to-hand combat. The title was awarded posthumously.
Lieutenant SMERSH Mikhail Petrovich Krygin in August 1945, as part of the landing force, took part in the liberation of the port of Seishin. The lieutenant's group had a special mission in the territory occupied by the Japanese. However, when the commander of the paratroopers died, Lieutenant Krygin took his place and personally led the attack 12 (!) times. Then the SMERSH group continued to carry out its task. After the liberation of the port of Seishin, the body of Lieutenant M. Krygin was found with signs of torture: more than 20 bayonet wounds, a tongue was cut out, a five pointed star, open the stomach. Lieutenant Krygin was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
There were many such “deaths” in that war.
However, I have more recent examples. Senior Lieutenant Ivanov (surname changed) took (with a light machine gun) a position at a commanding height and fought for two hours with a group of spirits, which numbered almost 500 heads, which allowed the Soviet motorized rifle battalion to leave the gorge with virtually no losses (there were wounded). The military introduced the starley to the title of "hero", but personally Kryuchkov was against it. Since there was an order - military counterintelligence officers for "infantry exploits" should not be presented for awards. Why? “We didn’t send you here to run the attack with the infantry. And who will do your work? However, in that case, the military resisted and the senior lieutenant of his "hero" received. This is not a fairy tale. I personally know this man, and his portrait hung in one of educational institutions(in the open press it was called " higher courses for the retraining of the command and operational staff of the KGB SSS") on the second floor in the central corridor. Along with portraits of KGB officers who were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
By the way, military counterintelligence had its day during the Soviet era - December 19th. Now there is no such holiday. Not even analgia. Guys, I think it would be a shame. However, the dead don't care. Thank you for not canceling Victory Day. Otherwise, our soldiers raped all of Europe, occupied it, and did something else. Liberals know.
And I will celebrate a holiday that does not exist. Eternal memory, it happened, did not work. Therefore, those who left - rest in peace to them! And who is still alive - God bless you guys, health and years. And do not be offended by people - they do not know what they are doing.
Very timely, the question was asked about the day of the FSB in 2019, what date. Often, in the vain preparations for the New Year, this professional day is simply forgotten. This is fundamentally wrong, because FSB workers on this day, like representatives of other professions on their professional days, are sure to expect congratulations, kind words and high marks in their service.
Every year, December 20 is the exact date when the day of the FSB in 2019. It so happens that this year the holiday falls on Sunday, from which its celebration in every family where the event is relevant should be given special attention.
From the history of the establishment of the holiday
FSB Day was included in the list of state official holidays only in 1995. But since then, this year is already the twentieth year, as all employees Federal Service guards splendidly celebrate this important event for them.It is no coincidence that December 20 was chosen as the date, the day of the FSB. The fact is that in the Soviet Union on this December day they celebrated the Day of the Chekist.
The event was established back in 1917, when the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission was created. Then, in 1954, the Cheka was replaced by the KGB, which already existed until the collapse of the USSR. The FSB is the modern Russian version of the Soviet KGB, but the holiday for them is modern Russia was installed only in 1995. But, since then, the event has been constantly celebrated and a lot of attention has been paid to it. Relevant on the festive table.
About celebrations
In addition to the fact that FSB officers are congratulated on their professional day by relatives and friends, they, of course, congratulate each other. Only colleagues can understand how dangerous and difficult, sometimes unpredictable, this service is.In addition, they are held throughout the country. solemn events. During the events, artists and folk groups perform, as well as employees of the security services, who especially stood out during the year, are awarded for special achievements in their official activities.
Possible options for congratulations on the day of the FSB:
You are at the security control of our country day and night, like all your colleagues. It's heavy and hard work but very important. Guys, I wish you not to lose heart, solve more crimes and, of course, do not forget to rest.
In our country, FSB Day is celebrated quite widely, we hasten to congratulate you on this event. Let the work go well, and you, as an already experienced employee with experience, submit correct example youth.
I wish you a good rest on your holiday from working days. Let at work you are always expected and appreciated, and experience, intuition and skill help to solve as many crimes as possible.
Let me congratulate you on FSB Day. With all my heart I wish you and all of us a clear and peaceful sky above your head. Let life and work in all its manifestations be on a high note. On the festive table can be served for dessert.
It turns out that FSB Day does not differ from when exactly this professional holiday is celebrated annually. It is necessary to mark the date December 20 with a special icon in your calendar. Unlike many other professional holidays that have a clear month and day of the week (for example, the last Sunday of the month of November), FSB Day is celebrated on December 20, but it so happened that this year the date fell on Sunday. And this is a double cause for magnificent celebration.
The date of the holiday on December 20 was chosen due to the fact that on this day in 1917 the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR issued a Decree on the formation of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission (VChK) to combat counter-revolution and sabotage under the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR (the predecessor of modern security agencies). The initiator of the creation of the Cheka was Vladimir Lenin. Felix Dzerzhinsky became the first chairman of the Cheka.
In 1922, the Cheka was transformed into the State Political Directorate (GPU) under the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) of the RSFSR. A year later, on its basis, the United State Political Directorate (OGPU) under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was created.
In 1934-1941 the authorities state security were part of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) of the USSR. Then the People's Commissariat of State Security (NKGB) of the USSR was separated from the NKVD into an independent body, which in March 1946 was transformed into the Ministry of State Security (MGB) of the USSR. On March 13, 1954, the State Security Committee (KGB) of the USSR was established.
In connection with the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, the KGB of the USSR also ceased to exist. On the basis of its divisions in Russia, the Federal Security Agency of the RSFSR was formed, federal agency government communications and information (FAPSI), and other departments. In January 1992, Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a decree establishing the Russian Ministry of Security. In December 1993, it was transformed into the Federal Counterintelligence Service (FSK).
In April 1995, the head of state signed the law "On the bodies of the Federal Security Service in the Russian Federation", on the basis of which the Federal Security Service was created. Since 2003, the FSB has included the Border Guard Service, which guards the state border of Russia.
Currently, this is a professional holiday for employees of the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Federal Security Service (FSO) and the Main Directorate for Special Programs of the President of the Russian Federation. In the Soviet period, all these special services, as main departments, were part of the structure of the KGB of the USSR.
Employees of the national and state security bodies celebrate their holiday on December 20, according to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 20, 1995. This day is appointed to celebrate the day of the FSB, because in 1917 it was on the same day that the Cheka (All-Russian Extraordinary Commission) was created. F. E. Dzerzhinsky became its first chairman. To replace the Cheka in 1954, the State Security Committee under the Council of Ministers of the USSR was created. Before the formation of the Russian Federation, December 20 was celebrated as the Day of the Chekist.
At present, this day is a professional holiday for all foreign intelligence officers, the FSB, the Federal Security Service, as well as for specialists who work under the President's Main Directorate of Special Programs. During Soviet times, all of the above services were part of the USSR State Security Committee (KGB).

Makes you tremble.
And serious employees
I would like to wish:
They take brave guys there,
You can't just go there;
You are strong in spirit - this is important:
Young people will be more serious.
Priceless personnel of this service,
What guards us always;
Frosty in winter, hot in summer
Any blowjob is a disaster for us.
Be fruitful efforts -
We need such services
So that there are no enemies of dominance
On the scale of our dear country.
Live and hello, Security!
Always be strong and strong
So that any enemy dirty trick
I was afraid for my sides.
Security Officer's Day is an annual holiday celebrated on the 20th of December. On this day, it is customary to congratulate all those who daily decide the most difficult tasks to ensure state and national security, protects the peace of civilians. Contrary to popular belief, this is not only the FSB. An important role in maintaining state security is played by such bodies as the FSO, SVR, GUSP and others. This day is also celebrated by students of specialized universities, who will soon begin to serve for the benefit of our country.
history of the holiday
December 20 was chosen as the official date for objective reasons. It was then that back in 1917, on the initiative of Vladimir Lenin, the Council of People's Commissars issued a decree on the establishment of a special body. It was called the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage. Five years later, this body was disbanded, and its powers were transferred to the State Political Administration under the NKVD of the RSFSR.
The history of this body, first in the RSFSR, then in the USSR and, finally, in the Russian Federation is complex. Its structure, leaders and names changed. But its goal remained unchanged - the protection of the country and its population. In its current form, the FSB dates back to 1995. In April of this year, Boris Yeltsin signed the Federal Law "On the Bodies of the FSB." The document dealt with the powers legal framework, principles and directions of activity of the security body.
Despite the almost century-old history of the structure, for a long time the security forces did not have the opportunity to celebrate their holiday at the official level, receive congratulations and well-deserved awards. True, this mistake was quickly corrected - in the same 1995, when the head of state issued decree No. 1280 on the establishment of the Day of the State Security Organs.
