Ministry for Internal Affairs (MVD) (
Russian: Внутренние войска Министерства внутренних дел, Vnutrenniye Voiska Ministerstva Vnutrennikh Del; abbreviated ВВ, VV) is the uniformed
gendarmerie-like force in the now-defunct
Soviet Union and its successor countries, particularly, in
Russia and

Militsiya, deal with large-scale
riots, internal armed conflicts,
prison security (except in Russia) and safeguarding of highly-important facilities (like
nuclear power plants). As such, the force is involved in all conflicts and violent disturbances in the history of Soviet Union and modern Russia, including and
