3 October 2019, Thursday

Dear veterans, leaders and specialists of civil defense of the Republic of Tatarstan!

October 4 - Civil Defense Day of the Russian Federation. On that day, in 1932, the Council of People 's Commissars of the USSR approved the "Regulation on Air Defense of the Territory of the USSR," under which local air defense (IPVO) was allocated as an independent part of the entire air defense system of the USSR. This date is considered to be the beginning of the existence of the EU-wide IPVO, the successor of which was the civil defense of the USSR.
