MOSCOW, December 24. /Corr. RIA News"/. The Federal Agency for Government Communications and Information (FAPSI) under the President of the Russian Federation celebrates its 11th birthday on Tuesday, although the history of the Russian cryptographic / encryption and decryption / service goes back more than one decade.

As a RIA Novosti correspondent reports, FAPSI was created by decree of Russian President Boris Yeltsin on December 24, 1991 on the basis of the Government Communications Committee under the President of the USSR. The Union-Republican Committee itself arose in October 1991 during the “division” of the KGB of the USSR after the August putsch. The basis of the new intelligence service was made up of employees of the former cryptographic and radio intelligence units of the KGB.

Later, specialists from the information resources department of the presidential administration, a number of research and educational institutions, as well as specialized enterprises joined the system of government communications bodies.

FAPSI is known in the West mainly as a worthy opponent of the famous American NSA in the field of electronic intelligence. However, the range of FAPSI tasks is much broader and more complex, and the most important of them in the new “information age” is the protection of Russia and its citizens from internal and external information threats.

FAPSI works in a number of areas of the Russian information security doctrine: this is ensuring the security of the country’s information and telecommunication systems, both already deployed and those being created on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as the development of modern information technologies, ensuring the creation and effective use in the interests of the authorities state power domestic information resources.

The security of heads of state plays a very important role big role in ensuring peace and tranquility in the country. Previously, the most primitive methods were used to encrypt information, but over the years, due to the development of new communications and technologies, there was a need to strengthen state secrecy. It was for this purpose that Government Communications was created on June 1, 1931.

Story

In 1931, the first high-frequency communications were launched in the USSR. They have been working on its creation since 1928. It did not take the OGPU much time to develop and introduce HF communications, although the amount of work carried out was not small, and the idea was of a global nature. The organization of proper secrecy of messages and negotiations of government authorities at that time was in the first place, since telephone and telegraph communications, which were in general use, could no longer guarantee complete secrecy of the transmitted information.

To check the quality of communication, a connection was established with the city of Kharkov. The result of this check satisfied the developers and the government. The Russian government has begun to actively use HF communications.

The invented HF communication made it possible during the Second World War (1941-1945) to organize operational control of all fronts and made it possible to control the course of military operations. Many military operations were successfully carried out thanks to continuous communication with the government.

After the collapse Soviet Union per row individual countries, V Russian Federation a separate state organization Communications - Federal Agency for Government Communications and Information, this happened in December 1991.

On July 1, 2003, the President of the Russian Federation announced the cancellation of FAPSI. It was replaced by a new information structure - the Special Communications and Information Service. On August 7, 2004, it was included in the FSO of Russia.

The objectives of the SSSI are:

• providing government officials with communications in their places of residence;
• conducting reconnaissance work in the field of encryption;
• development of special technical means and systems to increase the quality and privacy of communications;
• storage and processing of information, as well as its transfer to institutions located abroad;

Traditions

Celebrations of Government Communications Worker Day are usually held among the team. Service employees organize corporate parties in honor of their professional holiday. Management congratulates them, presenting them with gratitude and bonuses for their hard work.

Employees of this structure also celebrate this holiday with their families. Behind festive tables Congratulations from relatives and friends are heard to the clink of glasses.

Do not forget to congratulate everyone who serves or served in this structure on their professional holiday.

DAY OF CREATION OF GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS.

The modern world is completely entangled in a network various types communications. Each of them allows you not to lose touch with environment- we mean, first of all, the human factor - regardless of your location. The most reactive, progressive types today include mobile and Internet communications. Well, a separate niche is occupied by government communications, satisfying the needs government controlled. Every year June 1 is celebrated in Russia .

History of the holiday Day of the Creation of Government Communications

Celebration dedicated to the emergence of telecommunications special purpose, coincides in timing withChildren's Day for good reason. On June 1, 1931, during the then Soviet era, a high-frequency communication network of an international nature was created. The name given to this innovation is as follows: HF communication. Its development began back in 1928, so the OGPU (United State Political Administration) needed only 3 years to bring the idea, global by those standards, to life.

The question arises: why, in fact, was this HF communication launched at all? Have there really been no analogues of government communications until now? In fact, they were, of course, but primitive telephone and telegraph communications could not fully satisfy the needs of the state that existed at that time. This was especially true for maintaining the confidentiality of conversations of national importance.

The first connection to check the quality of communication was established with the Ukrainian Kharkov. This happened a year before the official launch of telecommunications in operational mode, and the result exceeded all expectations. The created type of communication was based on a special design of telephone sets, in particular, the introduction of a device that provided basic masking of a conversation from wiretapping by third parties. The next step was the beginning of the development of encryption devices. Finally, the third stage in the development of HF communications was marked by the start of the functioning of the automatic telephone exchange (ATS). It was this event that served as a prerequisite for the subsequent emergence of such a phenomenon as “automatic connection of subscribers.”

What is the state of government communications in the 21st century? As stated by authorized persons, in particular, the press secretary of the head of the Russian Federation V.V. Dmitry Peskov, current special-purpose telecommunications have high level safety quality, work in this direction does not stop. Yes, and it cannot be otherwise, because in the light latest events information leakage is quite possible. It's about about illegal actions taken by the Agency national security The United States in relation to the French government, and earlier - Chancellor Angela Merkel.

History of the development of government communications

After in the 30s. In the last century, special-purpose telecommunications were created, and unique opportunities opened up for the state apparatus of the Soviet Union. The need for their use arose already in the next decade, when the Great Patriotic War began. HF communications were an excellent means of communication for signalmen of the Red Army and specialists of the People's Commissariat of Communications. Thanks to this innovation, many military operations were successfully completed.

Presidium of the Interregional public organization mutual assistance "COMMONWEALTH OF OFFICERS" congratulates the Chairman of the Council of Veterans of the Center for Special Communications and Information of the FSO of the Russian Federation in Voronezh region retired colonel Osadchenko Vladimir Sergeevich, all veterans of the Center for Special Communications and Information of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, military personnel and civilian personnel on their professional holiday - the Day of the Creation of Government Communications!

1931 is officially considered Day of creation of government communications in the USSR, when the country put into operation its own long-distance high-frequency communication network. Over its creation, a united state political administration(OGPU) under the Council people's commissars The USSR has been in operation since 1928. The new kind communication received the code name “HF communication”.

The need to create special communications for the needs of public administration was caused by the fact that all previously existing types of communications - telegraph from the mid-19th century, then telephone, passing through communication networks common use, - could not ensure proper confidentiality of transmitted messages.

The HF connection was tested in test mode in 1930 - a connection was established with Kharkov, at that time former capital Ukraine. The check was successful. Soon, high-frequency communications began to be actively used in government work.

The main design feature of telephone sets was the presence of a simple device for masking speech from direct listening. Simultaneously with the production of such “masking devices,” specialists were actively developing complex encryption equipment. Especially for HF communications, the first domestic automatic long-distance telephone exchange (ATS) was put into operation, which accelerated the development of public telephone communications, marking the beginning of automation of the process of connecting subscribers.

HF communications were very useful during the Great Patriotic War- it was used to carry out operational management of active fronts and armies, and there were signalmen in almost every unit of the Red Army. The importance and necessity of HF communications was confirmed later - when working in “hot spots”, in extreme situations of man-made disasters and natural disasters.

IN post-war years Encryption equipment was created, based on completely new principles, and the Kremlin automatic telephone exchange network became dedicated. In the 1950s, international HF communications were tested (a Moscow–Beijing communication channel was established). In the 1960s - with the launch artificial satellites– for the development of HF communications, orbital repeaters began to be used. In 1963, the so-called “ hotline» direct documentary communication between Moscow and Washington; later such lines were organized with the capitals of a number of other states. In the 1970s, the country's leadership gained the opportunity to use “government communications” almost anywhere on Earth.

In 1990, a communication system was created for the President of the USSR. In 1991, by the corresponding decree of the head of state, the activities of government communications bodies were brought under legal basis- the Federal Agency for Government Communications and Information under the President of the Russian Federation (FAPSI) was created. This special body existed from 1991 to 2003. Then all FAPSI responsibilities were distributed between the FSO of Russia, the FSB of Russia, the SVR of Russia and the Special Communications and Information Service under the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.

Today, the country's presidential and government communications are special-purpose telecommunications that are used by officials for the needs of government administration.

The security of the head of state and members of the Government is of great importance for maintaining a peaceful situation. If previously it was enough to encrypt the information in a simple way, then today the latest equipment is required. Creation necessary conditions For telephone conversations, protection government information, countering the technical intelligence of other countries, providing the top officials of the powers with new means of communication and equipment - this and much more are the tasks of the specialists of the most closed government structure - the Special Communications of Russia. To those who provide information security, dedicated to a professional holiday.

When is it celebrated?

Since 2004, Special Communication and Information Day Federal service Protection of Russia is celebrated annually on August 7th. In 2019, the event is celebrated for the 16th time.

Who's celebrating

On Special Communications Day of the FSO of Russia, all specialists of this service accept congratulations.

history of the holiday

Since 1928, HF communications (government and military) have been the responsibility of state security. In 1991, the Federal Agency for Government Communications and Information under the President of the Russian Federation (FAPSI) was established. 1992 was marked by the separation of the presidential communications system, and all personnel and equipment were transferred to the Main Directorate of Security of the Russian Federation (GUO RF).

On July 1, 2003, FAPSI ceased to exist. A new unit was created under the Federal Security Service - Special Communications of Russia. On August 7, 2004, it became part of the country's Federal Security Service. It was this date that became the professional holiday of Special Communications specialists of the Russian Federation.

About the profession

In addition to the safe and reliable provision of communication channels, employees of the Special Communications and Information Service under the FSO of the Russian Federation must protect information that constitutes state secret, develop international special connection, to supply top officials of the state with technical means not only in peacetime, but also in war time, maintain special documentation, etc.

Some FSO cars in the Moscow region have the same letters in their license plates (E - KX). Even a traffic police inspector has no right to stop a Federal Security Service car with a siren and beacon on. If a violation of traffic rules is detected, he can draw up a report addressed to the boss.

The Russian budget includes the same expenses for the army and the Federal Protective Service.

The Orienteering Federation also has a similar abbreviated name, which it uses during unofficial starts. The abbreviation “FSO Exercises” placed at control points in the forest prevents the theft of equipment.
