The Russian Museum

Goal: formation of multilevel security system for protection of the collections, palaces and their premises

System of Measures

The main and basic principle of the security strategy for the protection of the museum complex is the systematic and complex approach, guaranteeing the optimum combination and correct coordination of all the organizational and technical measures.

Protection of the museum buildings and collections is achieved by a whole system of measures including:

• organizational measures, determining the tactics of the museum objects' protection, the structure and the strength of the security units providing control over the functioning of the security system as stipulated by the normative documents;
• engineering protective measures - to guarantee technical equipment by means of different constructional elements;
• equipment of museum buildings with technical means of security (systems of signaling, fire extinguishing, scanning, communication), enabling the observation control posts to notify special operating units of any unforeseen, unprovided for any situations.

The financing should come primarily from the Federal budget supported both by the expense item of the consolidated budget of the museum and by the "Preservation and Development of Culture" program and the "Federal Anti Criminal Program"..

In accordance with the conception the complex of security systems will ensure: reliable and timely discovery and blocking of all the vulnerable spots, possible channels of the information drain, effective application of means of security in the right place at the right time, absence of time and space gaps (i.e. impossibility of unauthorized intrusion onto the museum grounds or acquiring the access to the information), well planned, purposeful and concrete functioning. Since it is impossible to secure absolutely everything the concept features the priorities, implementation of its goals and tasks will enable the security service to develop the systems of analytical modeling, estimation of real and possible danger to the collection and objects of the State Russian Museum architectural and art complex. It will also help to create new progressive technologies meeting the technical standards and reducing the unproductive excess expenses on security.
