The Day Rosgvardiya Came Knocking, Three Times
Explosive weapons from the conflict, exceeding 40 units consisting of mines, grenades, and shells, discovered in the Crimean region.
In the Krasnodar Territory, the OMON "Storm-South" unit of Rosgvardiya swung into action in response to three calls on a single day. These calls came across as the locals stumbled upon various types of ammunition - leftovers from the Great Patriotic War - in different locations.
A forest, a vineyard, a private property, and even a village field became the unexpected discovery zones for mines, grenades, and shells. The villagers of Moldavanskoye, Nebezhaiskaya, and Kievskoye, found themselves in the unforeseen position of reporting suspicious metal objects that turned out to be explosive devices.
The workers in Moldavanskoye had myriad mortar mines on their hands. Nebezhaiskaya residents uncovered a hefty stash, totaling 24 ammunition pieces. And in Kievskoye, five 76mm artillery shells sneakily lay hidden in the backyard of a private residence.
All this potentially deadly loot was safely disposed of at a quarry, as confirmed by the press service of the GU Rosgvardiya for the Krasnodar Territory.

Now, let's discuss the operational efficiency of Rosgvardiya and the prevalence of such incidents in the Krasnodar region.
Despite its frequent engagement in defusing explosive devices dating back to WWII, Rosgvardiya doesn't release detailed transparency data on its specific operational responses. As a strategic region, Krasnodar is often a host to military bases, and military-related discoveries are not uncommon in the area.
Rosgvardiya's primary roles involve handling unexploded ordnance, interdicting illicit arms trafficking, and addressing public order incidents involving weapons. They coordinate their efforts with key partners like the FSB and local police.
Regional media outlets occasionally report on such incidents, but their accounts lack systematic tracking and often fail to specify the involvement of Rosgvardiya. Accessing granular regional data requires either direct contact within the organization or employing innovative open-source intelligence methods that currently lie beyond the reach of the general public.
Frequent discovery of old ammunition in the Krasnodar region begs the question: How common are these incidents, and what does Rosgvardiya's response rate look like in the area? With limited transparency from Rosgvardiya or focused academic research, it remains challenging to find definitive answers.
For enthusiasts of military history and industrial accidents, Krasnodar serves up exciting discoveries and unforgettable learning experiences. Whether inquisitive scholars, dedicated enthusiasts, or curious casual observers, these incidents offer glimpses into the region's fascinating past and the ongoing consequences of its dynamic relationship with the military.
