The Russian border service conducts the history since May 16, 1512 when the Moscow Grand Duke Vasily III approved «An order to Ugrian military leaders» - the first Russian charter of border service. From that time on every year in the early spring began to gather armies for execution of coast guard for the purpose of reflection of attacks of Tatars. Since then protection of the southern boundaries in the Moscow state began to turn into the nation-wide duty.
