The Main Directorate of Special Programs of the President of the Russian Federation (Russian: Главное управление специальных программ Президента Российской Федерации), abbreviated as GUSP (ГУСП) is a federal executive agency that performs functions to ensure the fulfillment of the authority of the President of the Russian Federation in the field of mobilization training and mobilization in the Russian Federation. The scope of their competence is described in the Federal Law "On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization in the Russian Federation."[1]

History

Originally established on January 6, 1977, as the Fifth Department of the Department of Affairs of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) by the decision of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR.[2]

The main task entrusted to the Fifth Directorate was to act as the customer in the construction of new structures, in the modernization and reconstruction of existing government structures (buildings and sites) of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, in keeping them in constant readiness for immediate use, and in coordinating the activities of ministries and departments to keep existing control points (sites) and oversee construction of new spare control points of the Russian Federation, as well as the methodological guidance on the issues of maintaining the readiness of reserve control posts in the RSFSR.[2] In addition, since 1991, the Fifth Directorate has been entrusted with the functional responsibilities of organizing and providing mobilization training for the Department of Affairs of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, and since January 1992, the Administration of the President and the Government of the Russian Federation.[2]

By the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of August 5, 1991, No. 32, the Fifth Department was incorporated into the Administration of the President of the RSFSR,[3] and since September 24, 1992, by the President of the RSFSR, it has been transformed into the Directorate for Planning and Implementing Special Programs of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation.[2]

By the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 5, 1994, the Office of Planning and Implementation of Special Programs of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation was transformed into the Main Directorate for Special Programs of the President of the Russian Federation. This new state agency united not only the units that provide the preparation of a documented mobilization base, but also a system of special facilities.[2] The Main Directorate, as a structural unit, was included in the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation.[2]

In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of April 30, 1998, No. 483 "On the Structure of the Federal Executive Bodies," the Main Directorate was assigned to federal executive bodies, whose activities are directly managed by the President of the Russian Federation.[4]

In accordance with Article 32 of the Federal Constitutional Law of December 17 1997 No. 2-FKZ "On the Government of the Russian Federation" Presidential Decree No. 1146 of September 7, 2004 "Questions of the Main Directorate for Special Programs of the President of the Russian Federation" approved the Regulations on the Main Directorate.[1]
