What kind of people are suitable for intelligence service? How to get into the Airborne Forces and Special Forces: who will not be accepted into the elite troops
Divisions military intelligence- this is a service special purpose, consisting of military personnel undergoing training as part of a labor contract. According to social surveys, this type of training is one of the most enviable, and therefore getting into the ranks of employees of this unit is not at all easy. In addition to undergoing strict selection, you also need to be prepared for special conditions of service. Knowing the rules for recruiting military personnel into the ranks of intelligence will allow you to prepare in advance for future work.
Historical development
The first memories of reconnaissance units appeared in the middle of the 18th century. The main area of training for such soldiers included tactical training. Employees had to navigate the terrain and be ready to act in conditions of lack of time and critical situations. The main thing is that the work of the military was associated with constant participation in combat operations.
After about 100 years, the procedure for serving was significantly changed, which marked the beginning of the formation of modern ones (abbreviated as GRU). Later, namely in the 20th century, the current rules for recruitment and training were already established. Functional ones are also enshrined in legislative acts. These included:
- disruption of transport;
- fight against terrorism;
- training of intelligence officers and saboteurs;
- breakdown of communications and power supplies.
The military carried out their duties both on the territory of Russia and abroad, participating in combat operations, helping to unexpectedly overtake the enemy, depriving him of means of communication.
Main tasks of the Main Intelligence Directorate
The abbreviation GRU stands for Main Intelligence Directorate. This is a system of bodies that are subordinate to the Ministry of Defense Russian Federation and take part in foreign intelligence.
Modern units consist of special departments, each of which is assigned individual functions.
Table No. 1 " Functional responsibilities while serving in intelligence"
Department | Assigned powers |
---|---|
Controls from 1st to 4th | The main responsibility is to implement foreign policy, as well as establishing connections with other countries |
5th | Organ operational intelligence operating directly behind enemy lines |
6th | This is the place of service of radio technicians performing their duties within the framework of the use of communications equipment. These are specialists who conduct reconnaissance through the use of walkie-talkies, encrypted letters, and so on. |
7th | Organization of communication with NATO member countries. Authorized to take part in organizational events of the Commonwealth |
8-13 departments | These bodies have the following responsibilities: development of strategic activities; sabotage; collection military information; analysis of usage possibilities nuclear weapons and others |
Organization of scientific work | There are 2 research institutes on the territory of Russia engaged in the development of new methods of exploration |
Also, depending on the military situation in the country, additional special forces brigades may be created. Their work is organized only within the framework of military tasks; the service of soldiers is limited specific activities or temporary periods.
How to get to the GRU
In order to be able to sign an employment contract for employment in intelligence, one must go through a complex multi-level selection process. To the number mandatory conditions employment include:
A separate stage of preparation is passing physical standards, namely, you will have to obtain positive results for the following types of testing:
- long-distance running (3 kilometers, completion time should not exceed 10 minutes);
- 100 meter run ( maximum time task completion – 12 seconds);
- pull-ups from 25 times;
- lying push-ups (at least 90 times, no time limit);
- hand-to-hand combat.
A separate area of selection is a psychological interview, as well as passing tests for temperament and character. Additionally, psychological tests analyze reaction speed.
Preparation and training of GRU special forces
Based on the above, it takes years to prepare for intelligence service. It’s not enough to go for demobilization and immediately apply for signing employment contract. If, after the verification, the candidate was recruited by the GRU, then you need to be prepared for intensive training.
Types of events | Implementation Features |
---|---|
Psychological | The most important thing in intelligence service- this is the fighter’s confidence in his abilities, therefore comprehensive training is carried out to increase self-confidence. Humiliation of the military is strictly prohibited, while commanders, on the contrary, praise the soldiers and encourage their further development |
Hand to hand combat | Preparation involves not only studying combat techniques, but also the rules of defense and attack using improvised means. |
Physical activity | Consist of comprehensive views checks and sports competitions. Competitions and sparring are held periodically |
Mode | Be sure to follow a daily routine. Soldiers must be able to obey commands and carry them out unquestioningly |
In addition, every six months the acquired skills are tested in order to study the prospects for further training. The soldiers who, through such hard work, got into the ranks of intelligence officers are themselves interested in obtaining the highest results, since the average salary of a unit employee in Russia is 60,000 rubles.
If after reading the material you still have questions, share them in the “Comments” section.
So the almost two-meter “baby” son told his father with a grin. And then, quite seriously, the Moscow State University graduate asked: “Who is hired for intelligence?” The AN columnist sought the answer to this question together with the Service’s personnel foreign intelligence(SVR) Russia.
Modern Russian intelligence officer looks a little like a spy action hero. He doesn't bed stacks of Hollywood beauties like James Bond does. Chases and pistol shooting for a real intelligence officer are so rare occurrence, which is comparable to failure. And although the profession is not devoid of romance, this field is not for those who seek fame or big money. And yet thousands of boys and girls dream about her.
Alas, we have to disappoint our very young readers who dream of the laurels of Stirlitz and Sorge. There is a strict age limit in intelligence. Only the FSB Academy, where they train mainly counterintelligence officers, can enroll immediately after school. And the Foreign Intelligence Academy accepts people with higher education. The admission rules are dry but clearly stated: “A candidate for military service In the SVR of Russia, a citizen of the Russian Federation aged 22 to 30 years can become operational personnel positions.”
Dispute about selection
It is not easy to get into service in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. To do this, you need to go through a long and complex professional selection process. As the former director of the SVR, Army General Sergei Lebedev, told an AN observer, future intelligence officers are looked for after the first year of university. Then potential candidates are carefully studied for three to four years. Those who are prone to excessive adventurism, were members of radical youth organizations or religious sects. They look at the student's record book very carefully. For some reason it is believed that C students in Russian intelligence not the place. I think this is a controversial opinion.
For example, legend Soviet intelligence William Fisher, aka Rudolf Abel, was not an excellent student at school, and after graduation he did not receive a red diploma. But he was a talented intellectual. He and his colleagues obtained information about the secrets of the American nuclear bomb. It was about him that the head of the American intelligence services, A. Dulles, said that he would like to have three or four such intelligence officers in Moscow. People who knew him recall that Fischer was brilliantly educated and incredibly talented. He drew at a professional level, played various musical instruments, had patents for inventions in the United States, solved complex mathematical problems and was well versed in nuclear physics.
In addition to high intelligence, a scout must have good health. In the SVR, selection for medicine is almost like astronaut selection. The military medical commission is literally vicious, cutting for the slightest chronic sore. And although the doctors themselves say that now there is absolutely no healthy people, but there are only insufficiently examined patients, the health requirements for intelligence officers are increased. After all, they can be sent on business trips to any region of the world. Therefore, everyone entering the intelligence service must be prepared to work in an unusual, sometimes difficult climate, in countries with a turbulent situation, or even in crisis situations.
Thanks to strict selection and probably the best in the country medical care Scouts, as a rule, live and work for a very long time. Thus, the oldest Russian intelligence officer Boris Gudz, about whom our newspaper has already written, died at the age of 105. Or the legendary pair of intelligence officers - Mikhail and Elizaveta Mukasey...
On the eve of the war, the Soviet vice-consul in the USA Mikhail Mukasey had to communicate with many great contemporaries - Theodore Dreiser, Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin... Recipient of many state awards, Mikhail Isaakovich Mukasey lived for 102 years. Elizaveta Ivanovna was five years younger than him and did not live to reach her 100th birthday.
Special secrecy surrounds professional and psychological selection. His candidates for intelligence officers are required to pass. Here the level is assessed intellectual development, psychological readiness, quick thinking, communication skills, neuropsychic stability and other professionally important qualities for work. They say that not only a lie detector is used, but also dozens of other instruments and scientific techniques.
In relation to the candidate, with his consent, verification measures are carried out related to access to information constituting state and other secrets protected by law. And here they “examine” all close relatives up to the seventh generation. But as the example of the traitor Poteev shows, a “clean” questionnaire is not a guarantee of correct selection. Alas, and the Hero's son Soviet Union may become a traitor.
Unfortunately, for some reason Colonel A. Poteev was not subject to the following requirements of the law: a person who has close relatives living abroad and has been observed using narcotic or other psychoactive substances cannot be an employee of the SVR.
Instead of money, execution on Fridays
Evil tongues say that many billionaires in Russia come from intelligence services. As an example, they point to the banker Alexander Lebedev and the new Tula governor Vladimir Gruzdev. But this is the exception rather than the rule. After all, they were included in the Forbes magazine list after their dismissal from the Foreign Intelligence Service.
As the former director of the SVR, Army General Sergei Lebedev, said: “In 2000, we experienced certain difficulties with financial support, young employees especially suffered. But now, in my opinion, we get enough for a scout to be able to support his family at the proper level, dress and eat normally. But if a candidate comes to us and immediately starts talking about money, then we tell him that he has come to the wrong address.”
Indeed, you can’t buy a six hundredth Mercedes or large apartment in the center of Moscow. Although there used to be a rule: intelligence officers are not sent on business trips abroad if they do not have own apartment. Because for a person working abroad, it is very important to feel that he has his own corner, somewhere to return. This is a significant psychological factor. Now they hope more military mortgage. But it is still far from perfect.
They say that scouts do not live on one salary. While they work abroad, their salary in rubles is deposited in their accounts in Russian banks. But those who work under the “roof” of any department in Russia receive not two, but only one salary. Either in the Yasenevsky forest, or in a civilian institution. It happens that in two places at once, but the “law of communicating vessels” applies here: if the “roof” pays more, then the accountant in the “office” will reduce the intelligence officer’s salary by the same amount. In short, financiers won’t let you show off.
Among the motives for a career as an intelligence officer, money, even now, in our market times, is far from being in the first place among SVR employees. The fate of the Hero of Russia, the famous illegal intelligence officer Alexei Mikhailovich Kozlov, is very bright that confirmation.
This illegal intelligence officer in the 80s, according to legend, a German businessman, traveled half the world, went to South Africa to study its secret connections with the West and find out whether there was a nuclear weapons program there.
As a result of his betrayal, Kozlov went to prison. He spent six months on death row. The interrogations went on day and night, but the intelligence officer firmly adhered to the legend developed at the Center: I am a German businessman. And only when he was presented with irrefutable evidence of who he really was, Alexei Mikhailovich said: yes, I am a Soviet intelligence officer. Dot. He didn’t say anything about his work, didn’t give anyone away.
They offered him huge amounts of money for betrayal. But, seeing that this was useless, they switched from bribery to intimidation. On Fridays he was taken to execution, showing a man executed on the gallows. At the same time, they laughed: you are white, you have the privilege of receiving a chicken before you die, but you will hang out just like the blacks.
The KGB leadership did everything to rescue our intelligence officer from captivity. For the first time, a complex multi-way exchange was accomplished. And now Kozlov is in his homeland, receiving a quiet cabinet position. But the scout yearns for real work full of risk. One day, unable to bear it, he risked turning to the head of illegal intelligence with a request to send him back “to the field,” beyond the cordon.
After much doubt and hesitation, he is sent abroad to work illegally. They say that the calculation was that no one would suspect a man who miraculously escaped death of wanting to go all-in again. As a result, Alexey Mikhailovich successfully completed the most difficult task and was awarded the title of Hero of Russia.
Turnout at Ostozhenka failed
How to be like Alexey Kozlov? To become an intelligence officer, you need to contact the personnel service of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. It is best to appear yourself at the address: Moscow, st. Ostozhenka, 51/10. Please bring the completed forms with you, color photograph size 4x6, photocopy of passport (pages with photo and registration), photocopies of diploma received vocational education and applications to it. These documents can also be sent by registered mail to the address: 101000, Moscow, Main Post Office, PO Box 958, Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
Appeals from citizens related to employment in the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, sent via electronic communication channels (fax, e-mail etc.) are not considered.
Along Putin's path
“I remember somewhere at the beginning of the ninth grade I went to management reception KGB. Some uncle came out to me. Oddly enough, he listened to me. “I want,” I say, “to work for you.” - “It’s gratifying, but there are a few points.” - “Which ones?” “First of all,” he says, “we don’t take initiative people. Secondly, you can only get to us after the army or some civil university" Naturally, I asked: “After what university?” He says: “After anyone!” He apparently already wanted to get rid of me. And I say: “Which one is preferable?” - “Legal!” “I understand,” Vladimir Putin described his attempt to get a job in intelligence in the book “From the First Person. Conversations with Vladimir Putin."
Military intelligence is elite units who are engaged in obtaining and studying information about the enemy and the location of future military operations. Find yourself in the ranks reconnaissance units very difficult.
Instructions
Go through a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office. She must confirm that you have a very good health and high physical performance. At the end of the commission, you must receive a conclusion in the prescribed form.
Then write an application addressed to the military commissar, in which you ask to be sent to serve in ground forces and state the reasons why you want to join the ranks of military intelligence. Indicate what sports ranks and special skills you have. Hiking, parachute jumping, shooting, strength martial arts - all this will increase your chances of becoming a scout.
Because this genus troops deals with secret documents, you must have crystal clean biography to gain admission. Neither you nor your immediate family can have a criminal record. In addition, you should not be registered with a psychoneurological or drug addiction clinic.
During the conscription, again state your request to the military commissar and list all your special advantages. Prepare for the fact that you will not be immediately sent to the branch of the military you need. At the same time, try to get into motorized rifle or tank troops, then your chances of realizing your dream during further service will increase. Try to get in touch with those officers who will come to pick up the conscripts. However, be prepared for the fact that you may be tested on the spot for physical qualities and moral stability.
You can get into intelligence by distinguishing yourself in some way. Try to be as diligent as possible during training while completing the young fighter course. If you are noticed, you can contact the commander of the nearest reconnaissance unit with a request for a transfer.

And where are we hiding? - in the judge’s voice one can clearly hear satisfaction, not at all frustration from one’s failure. And after a couple of moments he turns to the commander of the reconnaissance group: “Raise the people and line them up on the path.” They still won't listen to me.
A second later, the cry of an eagle owl was heard, and one of the scouts moved from a nearby raspberry forest in our direction. Another ten seconds passed, and eight people were already standing at the forest edge.
Well, let’s assume that the enemy’s secret in my person has not been discovered by you,” the judge told the guys sternly in a fatherly manner. And for me he explained: - Intelligence is a creative process. Like any of us, each group has its own style: sometimes they come up with something like this... In general, well done, talented boys.
At the end of June, at the training ground of the 19th Guards Separate Mechanized Brigade of the North-Western operational command a competition was held for the best reconnaissance group of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus with the participation of teams from the armed forces of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. A total of ten reconnaissance groups competed.
It so happened that the profession military intelligence officer has been shrouded in a halo of glory for a long time. Films are made and books are written about these people. Getting into intelligence service is considered a serious success. After all, the requirements for such people are special: they need ideal health, strong will, psychological stability... And, of course, intelligence no less victorious than any weapon. Often, a scout has only a split second to make a decision, and he must act quickly and accurately. Looking at how unexpectedly and even gracefully some groups approached the implementation of assigned combat training tasks, sometimes I just wanted to give them a standing ovation.
But even before the guys went “hunting,” all scouts had to pass a series of tests for professional suitability. The organizers of the competition tested the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of military personnel. It was necessary to show the level of mastery of nuances military topography, and the filigree ability to prepare for the detonation of individual objects and provide first aid.
It’s probably easier to walk 30 miles again than to perform these tests…” the participants joked later.
However, they all understood perfectly well: the lives of their comrades and the result of carrying out reconnaissance and special tasks could directly depend on the competent and expedient solution of the issues posed.
This year we have significantly increased penalties for participants,” said the chief judge of the competition, head of the management department General Staff Armed Forces Colonel Oleg Tupik. - Even minus one point can deprive the group of a place in the top three...
Another significant innovation: throughout the entire competition, its participants had to constantly maintain an appropriate level of camouflage. Penalty points were awarded for any unmasking feature. Add to this a backpack with several tens of kilograms of cargo on its shoulders, thirty-degree heat, and you will understand in what difficult conditions the guys went through stage after stage.
Of course, no one is forbidden to hit the road in white sneakers,” Colonel Oleg Tupik clarified, “they just need to be “brought into line” - disguised. How?.. Be smart.
According to tradition, the first of the competitive stages for the scouts was the withdrawal of the group behind enemy lines. The helicopter, in conditions of possible enemy influence, “throws” the participants to a certain point, and there a certain “quest” began for the reconnaissance patrol: on the way to the reconnaissance area, the guys had to walk at least 30 kilometers through difficult, sometimes impassable, wooded and swampy terrain. Almost along the entire route, the military personnel were actively opposed by counterintelligence groups of the mock enemy. And the military masters who set traps in that area approached their work creatively, allowing their own imagination to run wild.
Very soon I became convinced of the veracity of these words.
Already at nine o'clock in the morning next day the guys were ready to complete the next task. Best time at “30 kilometers” it was a little over eight hours, and one could only guess how many minutes the scouts managed to find for sleep last night... And they continued to amaze. At times it seemed as if they were forged from metal.
At one of the stops, I got into a conversation with a reconnaissance sniper from the 38th Guards Separate Mobile Guard Brigade, Private Dmitry N. Standing on the sidelines, the guy watched with interest as one of his comrades confidently performed a tactical shooting exercise with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Dmitry himself fired his last shot from a Makarov pistol a few minutes ago, and now he was sincerely worried about his friends.
I like to serve. “I like the atmosphere that reigns in our team,” the guard admitted eye to eye. - Service in intelligence is a special thrill. A feeling that cannot be expressed in words...
More from school days Rogachev resident Dmitry was attracted to service in the special forces.
At the military registration and enlistment office they offered me to go serve in the 38th Mobile, in reconnaissance,” the reconnaissance soldier said with an unexpected smile. - Thank God, I agreed.
Not the first time, communicating with representatives military intelligence, I notice one thing: many conscripts want to stay and serve here in the future. There are even examples where contract soldiers, having undergone appropriate training and received the rank of officer, already command reconnaissance companies in which they served five years ago. conscript service. By the way, at this competition one of these servicemen tested himself as a commander.
Apparently, there is something in these kilometers of field and forest roads, clouds of dust, exhausting obstacle courses that forces even gray-haired colonels with excitement in their eyes to try to pass the stages of the competition on a par with full of strength Well done. Neither one nor the other can deny themselves this professional pleasure.
If it were possible not to participate?.. - without even understanding the question, my interlocutor asks again. - I can’t imagine how you can refuse. This is real army life, romance, for which it is worth serving. And the loads are here for strong in spirit and by will...
Servicemen of the 38th Guards Omobraz come to this tournament year after year with the rank of one of the favorites of the competition.
You need to keep your mark! - the guardsman says confidently. - When we were preparing, we walked fifty kilometers, and our backpacks were heavier. But here everyone does it, so we still give it our all.
Soon his group set off for the next stage: the guys had to conduct reconnaissance settlement. By the way, a funny situation happened to one of the teams here. There were several cars parked not far from the starting point. Already returning from a completed mission, one of the group’s flank patrols heard a deafening sound behind them. dog barking. Apparently, some compassionate owner left his four-legged friend to rest in the shade, and passing scouts woke up the vigilant animal...
On that day, in addition to reconnaissance of a populated area, the participants in the competition also had to overcome a water obstacle and a tactical zone full of artificial and natural obstacles, performing various tasks along the way to the specified point. special tasks behind enemy lines.
Even the judges were enthusiastic about the opportunity to “swim” in 30-degree heat. Well, overcoming the tactical zone was actually the final chord of the competition. Under the gaze of strict judges, the guys jumped, crawled, climbed, ran, jumped again, crawled... And everyone completed the main task: the enemy object was mined and conditionally destroyed... ten times. After that, all that remained was to overcome the enemy’s minefields and make a three-kilometer forced march in full equipment, and that’s 30–40 kilograms on our shoulders.
At the same time, the guys needed to maintain battle order, camouflage, and along the way set up two grenades on a tripwire in possible directions of pursuit. This stage also had one more special nuance: the scouts who “died” when mines were blown up in the area were not allowed to separate from their pursuers, but their weapons, technical means intelligence and communications were shared among the “survivors.”
The results shown by the guys on this 3-kilometer stretch are worthy of special respect. They only lost by one or two minutes existing standard By physical training. True, they ran with 40 kilograms on their shoulders, and not lightly. Watching how the scouts crossed the finish line, I understood: these people are truly seven-core, people who are ready to do anything for the sake of their Fatherland.
Following the results of four days of competition, the winners were determined. First place was taken by scouts from the 27th Guards Separate motorized rifle brigade Western Military District of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The silver of the tournament went to the guardsmen from the 38th Guards Separate Mobile Brigade, and the third best team, representing the 103rd Guards Separate Mobile Brigade.

Frame clip Separate reconnaissance battalion The 7th Airborne Mountain Division was formed atypically. Major Roman Ivanov, appointed by the battalion commander, was given preferences in the selection of the best officers, warrant officers and sergeants to serve in divisional intelligence. And every newly appointed officer to the battalion was involved in this work. Each volunteer was personally visited by his future company commander for conversation and testing. Applications to the military registration and enlistment offices were not sent by mail, they were taken by the same officers who selected future intelligence officers for their units. This is what made it possible to filter out random people from the very beginning. As a result, contract soldiers arrived at military unit, which was already equipped to perfection: dormitories with a mini-gym and showers in each company. Perhaps it was this approach that laid the good foundation for the rapid development of this battalion Russian army XXI century. Roman Ivanov earned his St. George Cross in August 2008. At the head of a reconnaissance platoon, he paved the way for our tactical group to the Georgian airfield, from which not a single combat aircraft took off after that. In general, he grew up in military garrisons and drew parachutes in kindergarten. After Ryazan School From lieutenant to major, he served in the 247th Cossack Air Assault Regiment, slowly passing through all the combat positions from platoon commander to battalion commander. “Not in the battalion.” uninteresting people, he thinks out loud philosophically. “Sometimes you talk to a soldier at a field bivouac and it’s like reading a fascinating story.” And in the battalion formation you already notice a living monolith of complementary characters, life experience And spiritual qualities. The everyday problems of contract workers, like themselves, look like adults. When the deputy commander of the automobile platoon, foreman Vladimir Gruzenkov, came into force life's vicissitudes found himself alone with three children, the battalion commander and his “political commander” Major Denis Nikonov were knocked off their feet, knocking out a three-room service for him. Schools and kindergartens are already accustomed to the fact that children can be picked up not only by
father is a paratrooper, but also one of his colleagues.” Cooper complex test When selecting contract soldiers for a battalion, it is assumed that a person with the habit of serving anyhow in the airborne elite will not take root. Self-installation on constant development. It’s not for nothing that every candidate is put through the so-called “Cooper complex” - a test of physical hardening. It seems nothing complicated: four exercises of ten approaches for arm strength, abs, endurance, jumping ability. Romantics who expect that someone in the battalion will make a superman out of them are eliminated immediately. Hard workers working for results from last bit of strength, have a chance to become scouts. In three months probationary period a new contract soldier has to go through double the load. In general, the intensity of combat training in the battalion is of a cult nature. And the range of fighting skills is very wide. In service
scouts - elements of a computerized control system tactical level, with the help of which the battalion commander and company commanders can receive radio and video information from each reconnaissance officer online via closed communication channels on the battlefield, use programs for simulating the development of the situation and making tactical decisions. The aerial unmanned reconnaissance complex is also successfully mastered here. The electronic intelligence unit is armed with equipment that allows for round-the-clock remote reconnaissance. So higher education, which 30 percent of the unit’s contract soldiers have, comes in very handy. However, hand-to-hand combat does not fade into the background for the scouts. The battalion has a policy: do not limit your level of “hand-to-hand combat” to the framework of the physical training manual. The result is already visible - victories at the connection championship hand-to-hand combat lieutenants Pavel Osipov and Anatoly Mamurkov. The reconnaissance battalion of Major Roman Ivanov is still in its formation stage. But in how skillfully its professional soldiers acted in combat training tests of the past year, such as, for example, the international exercises “Slavic Brotherhood,” features combat unit XXI century, always ready for immediate use.
