[edit] Old talk

Please do not confuse "security agency" and "intelligence agency". MVD was mainly police force. No intelligence. Mikkalai 03:17, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

And this is not the only confusing issue. Tha author also confuses the tasks and organizational structure. OMON is not a separate police agency or even a directorate, and it's not OSNAZ or SOF. So article needs an improvement BADLY. People, let's be more professional about facts. Teenagers and kids are kindly asked to learn more and/or concentrate on eathier stuff like weapons, models, ranks and signs AlexPU

What exactly is a militioner? Lamjus 04:36, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Border Guard

Who is in charge of border guard in Russia? In early USSR in was NKVD Border Guard. mikka (t) 21:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ministers

We could do with a list of the heads of this Ministry if somebody has a source. There doesn't seem to be one elsewhere on wikipedia at the moment. 62.25.106.209 15:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing history.

Trying to understand the compositional / structural history of the the MVD is very difficult and confusing. This article does not seem to be consistent with or complementary to the KGB and NKVD articles in this regard, for example. Peet Ern (talk) 07:37, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
