On November 10, 1917, a resolution was passed in Soviet Russia "On the Workers' Militia".
The decision to establish a workers' militia was adopted by the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) of the RSFSR to protect the revolutionary public order immediately after the October Revolution. The decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union of September 26, 1962 established this day as a professional holiday.
Initially, the holiday was called "Soviet Police Day", after the reform of 2011 and the transition to "Police", the name was changed to the holiday and today it is called "Day of the Internal Affairs Officer of the Russian Federation", but the date of the celebration remains the same - November 10. Every year, on the day of the television celebration, the big television concert of Moscow is broadcast. Since the early 2000s, the concert has been held in the State Kremlin Palace.
