It is interesting to get acquainted with the history of the emergence and evolution of the country's defense department, its current functions and, most importantly, its structure.

The history of the creation and development of the Ministry of Defense in the Russian Federation

For the first time, the defense department appeared in Russia in 1531 in the form of the Discharge Order, whose functions included conducting military affairs, gathering and organizing troops, and erecting fortifications.

In 1719, Peter the Great established a new governing body in the defense sphere - the Military Collegium. A century later, Alexander I transformed it into the Ministry of War.

Further key milestones in the development of defense management in the Russian Empire:

• 1815 - the appearance of the General Staff of His Imperial Majesty (the prototype of the current General Staff);
• 1860-70s - the formation of a territorial structure for managing the defense of the empire with its division into military districts (VO). The emergence of military duty for the male population belonging to all classes;
• 1914 - introduction of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander.

In 1917, instead of the "old regime" War Ministry, the revolutionary authorities created the People's Commissariat for Military Affairs and the People's Commissariat for Naval Affairs, the coordination of which fell on the Council of Workers' and Peasants' Defense. In 1923 the commissariats were merged.

In the era of the USSR:

• In 1944, the People's Commissariat of Defense of the RSFSR and similar departments in other republics of the Union were created;
• In 1946 the people's commissariats were turned into ministries;
• In 1978, the military departments of the Union republics were disbanded, with the transfer of the corresponding functions to the USSR Ministry of Defense, which ceased operations with the collapse of the Union.

Few people remember this, but the modern Ministry of Defense is not the same age as the Russian Federation. New Russian state recognized as successor Soviet Union, founded on December 26, 1991 or on the day the declaration on the abolition of the USSR was adopted. And five days earlier, Russia, as a subject of the newly founded Commonwealth Independent States, signed an agreement with other former Soviet republics on a temporary assignment to the last head of the USSR Ministry of Defense Shaposhnikov, military command within their borders.

During the period of the economic crisis that marked the notorious "dashing nineties", the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the state managed to maintain a combat-ready Armed Forces (AF).

The development of the department went according to the following chronology:

• November 11, 1998 - a new regulation on the Defense Ministry was established, giving it, along with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the status of a central commanding military body;
• In 1997-1998 - The Armed Forces have undergone significant transformations. This is the unification of the missile and military-space forces with the anti-missile defense forces, the merger of the air defense and air forces, which marks the transformation of the five-service structure of the Armed Forces into a four-service one. At the same time, the Trans-Baikal and Siberian MDs were merged into the Siberian MD, the Volga and Ural MDs into the PUrVO;
• In March 2001, the Space Forces appeared in the system subordinate to the Ministry of Defense;
• In 2007, cardinal reforms began in the RF Armed Forces under the leadership of the head of the Ministry of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov, including the launch of a rearmament program for the army;
• In July 2010, 4 operational-strategic commands were established by presidential decree with a simultaneous decrease in the number of military units, their reorganization into Western, Southern, Central and Eastern;
• On December 1, 2011, the Aerospace Defense Forces (VVKO) were founded, absorbing the space ones;
• November 6, 2012 A. Serdyukov was dismissed, his post was taken by the head of the department now Sergei Shoigu;
• On August 1, 2015, the creation of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) was approved through the merger of VVKO with the Air Force.

The headquarters of the department is located in Moscow on the street. Znamenka, house 19.
