==== Federal Security Service (FSB) ====
[[File:Medvedev at FSB special forces centre in Dagestan.jpg|thumb|Then-Russian President Medvedev visiting Dagestan regional FSB special forces base in [[Makhachkala]], 2009]]

The Centre of Special Operations of the FSB TsSN FSB, ''центр специального назначения ФСБ'') is officially tasked with combating terrorism and protecting the constitutional order of the Russian Federation. The TsSN FSB consists of estimated 8,000 operators and personnel<ref name="sakwa_p98">{{cite book |title=Russian Politics and Society |last1=Sakwa |first1=Richard |edition=4th |page=98}}</ref><ref>Sakwa R. Russian Politics and Society (неопр.). — 4th. — P. 98.</ref> in at least 7 operative divisions:
* [[Alpha Group|Directorate "A"]] (''Spetsgruppa Alpha'')
* [[Vympel|Directorate "V"]] (''Spetsgruppa Vympel'')
* Directorate "S" (''Spetsgruppa Smerch'' – Special Operations Executive – SOE) – TsSN of [[Moscow]] city and [[Moscow Oblast]]
* Directorate "K" (''Spetsgruppa [[Caucasus|Kavkaz]]'') – formerly Special Purpose unit for the city of [[Yessentuki]]
* Directorate "T" (''Spetsgruppa [[History of Crimea|Tavrida]]'') ([[Crimea]], previously – 2nd service "SN" of FSB)
* Special Weapons Combat Use Service (SV) - testing of new weapons in high-risk conditions
* Directorate "X" (Hacker) - ensuring cybersecurity of structures

TsSN FSB headquarters is a large complex of buildings and training areas, with dozens of hectares of land and scores of training facilities. The average training period for a TsSN officer is about five years.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kozlov|first=Sergei|url=http://www.agentura.ru/english/spetsnaz/FSBspecialforces/|title=FSB Special forces: 1998–2010|publisher=Agentura.ru|date=8 September 2010|access-date=2 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130118123943/http://agentura.ru/english/spetsnaz/FSBspecialforces/|archive-date=18 January 2013}}</ref>

Spetsgruppa 'A' ([[Alpha Group]]) is the premier [[counter-terrorism]] unit of the FSB. Consisting of about 720 personnel, of which about 250–300 are trained for assault operations and the rest are support personnel.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.academia.edu/17563421|title=Russian Military Forces of the MVD, the Border Troops, and the Special Forces |website=Academia |last1=León-Borja|first1=Lajos Szászdi}}</ref> These are dispersed in five operational detachments, including one permanent detachment in the [[Chechen Republic]]. Other units are stationed in [[Moscow]], [[Krasnodar]], [[Yekaterinburg]] and [[Khabarovsk]]. All Alpha operators undergo airborne, mountain and counter-sabotage dive training. Alpha has operated in other countries, most notably [[Operation Storm-333]] on a mission to overthrow and kill Afghan president [[Hafizullah Amin]]).{{citation needed|date=October 2023}}

Spetsgruppa "V", abbreviation of the Directorate в (Russian Cyrillic for V), also known as "Vega" in period 1993–1995, was formed in 1981, continues the lineage of two elite [[Cold War]]-era KGB special units—Cascade (Kaskad) and Zenith (Zenit). Its modern function is the protection of strategic installations, such as factories and transportation centers. With its Alpha counterparts, it is heavily used in the [[North Caucasus]]. Vympel has four operative units in Moscow, with branch offices in nearly every city containing a [[nuclear power plant]].

Spetsgruppa "S", abbreviation of the Directorate C (Russian Cyrillic for S), also known as Smerch, but also known as the Special Operations Executive (SOE), is a relatively new unit formed in July 1999. Officers from Smerch are frequently involved with the capture and transfer of various bandit and criminal leaders who help aid disruption in the North Caucasus and throughout Russia. Operations include both direct action against bandit holdouts in Southern Russia as well as high-profile arrests in more densely populated cities and guarding government officials. Because of its initials, this group is casually referred to as "Smerch". With the Centre of Special Operations and its elite units, many FSB special forces units operate at the regional level. These detachments are usually known as ROSN or ROSO (Regional Department of Special Designation), such as [[Saint Petersburg]]'s ''Grad'' (Hail) or [[Murmansk]]'s ''Kasatka'' (Orca).

==== Foreign Intelligence Service ====
The [[Foreign Intelligence Service (Russia)|SVR RF]], formerly the [[First Chief Directorate]] of the KGB of the USSR, has its own top secret elite special force within the Operations Department of Directorate Z known as {{Interlanguage link|Zaslon (SVR)|ru|3=Заслон (спецподразделение)|lt=Zaslon}} (Заслон) (meaning Screen, Barrier or Shield) about which extremely little is known. Formerly in [[First Chief Directorate|PGU KGB SSSR]] called [[Vympel]] (e.g. French counterpart; [[Action Division]]).

However, mere existence of such group within SVR is denied by Russian authorities. Nevertheless, there were some rumors that such group does indeed exist and is assigned to execute very specific special operations abroad primarily for protection of Russian embassy personnel and internal investigations. It is believed that the group is deep undercover and consists of approximately 300–500 highly experienced operatives speaking several languages and having extensive record of operations while serving in other secret units of the Russian military.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://vietnamdefence.com/Home/tinhbaoanninh/chiendichtinhbao/Pho-Thu-tuong-Nga-bat-can-tiet-lo-don-vi-dac-nhiem-hanh-dong-cua-tinh-bao-Nga/20145/53688.vnd|title=Vietnamdefence.com – Tin Quân sự 24h|access-date=31 July 2015|archive-date=18 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190218012519/http://vietnamdefence.com/Home/tinhbaoanninh/chiendichtinhbao/Pho-Thu-tuong-Nga-bat-can-tiet-lo-don-vi-dac-nhiem-hanh-dong-cua-tinh-bao-Nga/20145/53688.vnd|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.blouinnews.com/blouinbeatpolitics/2013/05/10/special-force-deployment-to-syria-may-signal-moscows-doubts/|title=Special force deployment to Syria may signal Moscow's doubts|work=BLOUIN BEAT: Politics|access-date=31 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/russian-zaslon-special-operations-2013-5|title=Russian Zaslon Special Operations – Business Insider|date=19 May 2013|work=Business Insider|access-date=31 July 2015}}</ref>

[[File:Beret-water.jpg|thumb|right|Water obstacle phase during tryouts for the Russian OSN [[Maroon Beret]].]]

The Russian government established the [[National Guard of Russia]] in 2016. The Guard's special forces (consolidating and replacing the forces of the [[Internal Troops of Russia|MVD Internal Troops]], [[SOBR]], and [[OMON]]) includes a number of [[Internal Troops of Russia|Russian Internal Troops]] (VV, {{langx |ru| Внутренние войска (ВВ) | translit = Vnutrenniye voiska}}, successors to the Soviet [[Internal Troops]]) paramilitary units to combat internal threats to the government, such as insurgencies and mutinies. These units usually have a unique name and an official OSN (previously known as OSNAZ ({{langx |ru| ОСНАЗ}}) or Отряд особого назначения (''Otryad osobogo naznacheniya'') meaning "special purpose unit") number, and some are part of the [[ODON]] (also known as the Dzerzhinsky Division). OBrON (Independent Special Designation Brigade) VV special groups (''spetsgruppa'') were deployed to Chechnya.<ref>{{cite news|author= Patrick E.

* 32nd Marine Detachment of the MVD ([[Ozersk]])

These detachments today form the [[National Guard Naval Service Corps]] and report to the National Guard HQ.

==== Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) ====
The vast majority of MVD special forces were transferred to the National Guard in 2016.

Previously, the MVD had [[Politsiya]] (police, formerly [[Militsiya]]) special forces stationed in nearly every Russian city. Most of Russia's special-police officers belong to [[OMON]] units, which are primarily used as [[riot police]] and not considered an elite force—unlike the [[SOBR]] (known as the OMSN from 2002 to 2011) rapid-response units consisting of experienced, better-trained and -equipped officers. The Chechen Republic has unique and highly autonomous special-police formations, supervised by [[Ramzan Kadyrov]] (who has served as [[Head of the Chechen Republic]] since 2007) and formed from the [[Kadyrovtsy]], including the (Akhmad or Akhmat) Kadyrov Regiment ("Kadyrov's ''spetsnaz''").

[[File:Interpolitex 2012 (477-12).jpg|thumb|SURPAT wearing OSN "Grom" operator of the Russian [[Federal Drug Control Service]].]]
From 2003 until 2016 The [[Federal Drug Control Service of Russia]] has operated the OSN "Grom", which became part of the [[Police of Russia|Federal Police]] in April 2016, and now is subordinate to the MVD's [[Main Directorate for Drugs Control]].

==== Ministry of Justice ====
