"I do not believe in gods, but if they exist, then these are border guards" - so said Marshal Zhukov. "The border is locked!" - this motto of the border troops of the Russian Empire, the USSR and the Russian Federation has been true for hundreds of years. It is not for nothing that they are called the "elite of the elites" - after all, unlike other military branches, border guards are always in full combat readiness. Their favorite professional joke: "The border guard should shoot like a cowboy, and run like his horse!" Their law: "And one warrior in the field - if he is a border guard!" Their credo: "A border guard fighter should know and be able to do much more than an ordinary infantryman or even a military scout.
