The book presents biographies of the leaders of the internal troops over the 200-year history of these formations. The form and content of the essays included in it make it possible to use this work not only as a reference guide, but also as an analytical study of the role of those who became the heads of law enforcement forces, combat and service activities, as well as their influence on the formation and modernization of internal troops. The personal qualities of the military leaders are shown objectively, while many facts from their lives and activities are presented for the first time. The life and fate of each of them is certainly interesting for a wide range of readers. The book is richly illustrated.
